My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... A zoom in at the male and female Caudipteryx in my painting, called "The Duet," commissioned by the University of Bristol. #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Dinosaurs #Birds #Reptiles #Palaeontology #Paleontology #Caudipteryx
My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... I'm continuing with the acrylic paintings I created in 2000. This one is Devourer of Giants, it features three Otodus megalodon, which have been attracted to some dead and bloated Anancus. The Anancus were drowned by a flash flood and carried out to sea. #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Dinosaurs #Birds #Reptiles #Palaeontology #Paleontology #FossilFriday
My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... Here is another acrylic painting I created in 2000 to expand my portfolio. It features Allosaurus, through the dried remains of a dead sauropod. In this version I did a bit of old Photoshop tweaking. #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Dinosaurs #Birds #Reptiles #Palaeontology #Paleontology image
My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... I only had a few commissions in my fist year as a freelance artist. I spent most of my time photocopying artworks & posting them to universities & museums. This painting, commissioned in 1999, features Liopleurodon & Metriorhynchus. #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Dinosaurs #Birds #Reptiles #Palaeontology #Paleontology image
My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... This painting is the first artwork I was paid for (1999). It depicts two T.rex approaching Super rex, a name given to some large remains. Behind is the Chicxulub asteroid. I needed to teach myself how to paint & I had a long way to go! #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Dinosaurs #Birds #Reptiles #Palaeontology #Paleontology image
