A toy, a Mexican street shop, a dinosaur nut and what came after…

The “Lost” Tyrannosaurs of Mike Kelly. Inedits from an ambitious project(Part One).
Many years ago (in fact it was 2014) I was approached by a veritable dino-nerd with an extraordinarily ambitious project … a Tyrannosaurus/Turannosauria Project… and no it was not Thom Holtz or Dave Hone (which would have been quite the … Continue reading

Strange tales of the road… Dinosaurs and me at Havana, Cuba 1958. A scrapbook.
It really is a long time and shows how back my interests and fascination with dinosaurs go! Just found these pictures on my first visit to a dino-park ever… Bellomonte, Playa de Guanabo (in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba. These … Continue reading
EXTREME DINOSAURS II. THE PROJECTS.

Always trying to find new alternatives…
Tyrannosaurus rex has been depicted in every possible guise we can imagine… the next reconstruction always pretending to be more accurate than the previous. It is the favourite dinosaur par excellence. So I decided to have another try… a new … Continue reading
Dryptosaurus/Laelaps tribute to Charles R. Knight.
When I saw the pictures, I knew I had to do something about it. Coinciding with a project I’m working in (let’s call it “Dinosaur Goredom”… and this is the second instalment… there are already many more I’m keeping in … Continue reading

I was familiar with a specimen of Tyrannosaurus rex named “Wyrex” for a long time. Dr. Bob Bakker sent me a few pictures of Wyrex pebbly skin… but nothing else. We were at that time discussing the possibility of T. … Continue reading
