Bajadasaur in caliche forest. A4. Piece for the upcoming artbook. This started out as Amargasaurus on a saltflat, but researching saltflats, I stumbled across caliche forests and thought they looked really cool. And looking at sail-necked sauropods, I remembered Bajadasaurus. Original available.

Couple of new pieces. - An icy Pachyrhinosaurus I did to test out some new paper I bought recently. - Crouching Miragaia. Never drawn this weird Stegosaur before and having recently done a sketch of a rearing Stegosaurus, I wanted to do a more finished version using Miragaia instead.

In memory of Richard Ellis, who "has to be considered one of the most prominent, productive, respected and influential of writers on natural history in the modern age". I regret that I never got to express this to him while he was around.... tetzoo.com/blog/2024/6/...

Somewhat ironically, closing my Etsy shop triggered a wave of interest in my self-published artbooks ( the 'Lizards', as I like to call them). Here are some drawings for recent buyers: Spinosaurus & Mawsonia; Stegosaurus; and Eurhinosaurus

Couple of books arrived today, one old, one new. @matttimson.bsky.social 's book is a lush collection of his superb artwork. The second was one that gave me profound flashes of childhood remembrance. So much amazing art by the likes of Angus McBride. They really don't make them like that anymore.

Jonah Hex A4 private commission. I was asked to use the classic comic as the jumping-off point and hence the inclusion of the Fokker Triplane. First time drawing Jonah Hex and a Fokker Triplane.

A4 pet portrait commissioned by writer @paulcornell.bsky.social of a friend's Biewer Terrier.

I went for a 'Monarch of the Glen' feel. Really enjoyed doing it. Nice change of pace.

Picked up for a £1 donation at Tesco's charity book drop. Will appeal to a certain demographic of a certain age. Reminds me of boyhood family holidays in Cornwall.

Haven't said much about the prehistoric shark book I'm working on as its a ways off yet but here's a couple of pieces featuring the basking shark Caucasochasma. They illustrate the two artistic approaches I'll be taking, one full colour the other pen & ink.
