The final portrait I could find from my time on WWD - Rose the Albertosaurus. All of these were done in early 2024, so about a year and a half ago now!

More personal art from when I was working on Walking with Dinosaurs - you get the drill by now! This time, Old Grande, the most eligible bachelor this side of the Berlenga Horst.

Guess what I've been most recently obsessed with

Another bit of personal art I did during the production of Walking with Dinosaurs - Torvosaurus.

A portrait of Rose the Albertosaurus' arch nemesis - a fucked up cow I was planning on doing a portrait of each animal while I was working on the production of Walking with Dinosaurs, but never had the time. I think I maybe made 3 or 4 in the end in early-mid 2024. Here's the first one I did, Arrhinoceratops.

We are approaching the maximum of images you can post here so I thought it was time I make a little showcase of all the formation pieces we covered so far on the streams.

For people who don't know: for several months now I draw one formation or fossil locality every Saturday. The next place we visit is chosen by a wheel of names, which we also constantly fill up again when a new formation is picked.

I try to make it as interesting as possible in my composition and choice of animals and I can tell you this series has been a great training when it comes to constructing these, how I call them, Menageries.

I have to thank a team of friends and colleagues who help behind the scenes with research, creation of size charts and conversation partners when it comes to deciding on the compositions of these pieces. Their help has been invaluable!

Come not between the Sarmientosaurus and his wrath (again!)

This Iguanodon is feeling... retro, today.

Eustreptospondylus prances along the coast with a pep in his step. A pep in his... eustrep?

A noasaurid falls off a cliff. Was he pushed? We'll never know.

Experimenting with some patterns and textures on this megaraptoran. My favourite motif to apply to my dinosaur designs is mirroring any accent colours on the head onto the tail as well!

A bunch of really nosy fellas.
