Old Volcanic Stuff.
Giganotosaurus extreme close-up as I envisioned for my first and only Pop-up book called “Dinosaurs In The Round”… I’m including the cover here too. It is a book that represented a challenge but it was so much fun to do! Layer upon … Continue reading

Mammal Evolution
The strange world of mammal evolution is present in these two pieces. The dog-like cynodont therapsid Cynognathus and the utterly handsome dinocephalian (more like a side branch in evolutionary terms) Estemmenosuchus. Both have been published in Anusuya Chinsamy’s “Forerunners Of Mammals” previously mentioned … Continue reading
The Deinonychus Saga (Part 2)
We were talking about female Deinonychus in the previous post… what about this dandy. flamboyant male? I did this as a challenge: we really don’t have much evidence of the exterior of dinosaurs… what is underneath all that flamboyancy is … Continue reading

The Deinonychus Saga (Part 1)
Since I’m going backwards and forwards with the artwork in this blog, I decided to include a bit of the Denonychus Saga that inspired the 3D restoration you can see in previous pages. I have depicted the deadly embrace of Deinonychus and Tenontosaurus many … Continue reading

Announcing: “Dinosaurs In Your Face”
Random House has just re-released several of my collaborations with Robert Bakker (“Dinosaurs!”, “Dino Babies!” and “Prehistoric Monsters!” … for the first time in 3D! Yes… more exclamation marks… they have compiled several of the children books we have done … Continue reading
Surrealist intermission… Home’s Garden.
It’s Sunday, so it’s time for something completely different… Since I have had some enquiries about Dave Hone’s post regarding my home’s garden (the actual title of this piece!), I’d like to tell a little story. Some people know that … Continue reading

Baby Ceratosaurus
This juvenile Ceratosaurus is based on a real skull… note the enormous teeth compared to the maxilla. “Beard” is optional…. but since it is a juvenile I dared to be a little heretical and added protofeathers to a fairly basal … Continue reading
