A Giant Forest Walker

I don't think I ever sold any of these as a print on Redbubble but I still like this very polite looking Jakapil.

Did this shortly after this scrungly beast was published. Fell in love instantly. Look at it's armor and small arms and elegant jawline!

Bothering the beast

Cobboldia russanovi, an extinct, wooly mammoth parasitizing botfly.

Like other members of the genus, the larvae of these flies feed and develop in the stomachs and oral cavities of Proboscideans, and due to it’s specialization in wooly mammoths, it subsequently went extinct alongside it’s host.

couldn’t decide which version of this nesting pachycephalosaur I liked better …

On todays #paleostream MONKEY CRUISE RETURNS

With Ekembo and Pachylemur

For those who don't know, #MonkeyCruise is a series of paintings in which I turn classic positions from art history into paleoart pieces with extinct primates.

The Ekembo piece, as you probably have guesses already, is a homage to Leonardo da Vinci's "Last supper". One of his most famous works. I had my eyes on this for a while but only recently had an idea what to depict it with.

Ekembo is a great ape from the Miocene that was found on Rusinga island, Kenya. There wer volcanoes in the area which they also snuck into this piece. The apes here are gathering on this log because a migrating ant colony is crossing it, a welcome snack bar.

The second piece is based on a painting by Finnish painter Eero Järnefelt, called "Under the Yoke".

Pachylemur was a large lemur from the Holocene of Madagascar, it#s extinction is most likely human caused. Two causes are shown here: habitat loss, thanks to slash and burn agriculture and bush meat hunting.

Not as diverse as some other places he have hit and yet, we weren't even able to put in all the crocs.

Are there any more cambrian creachurs spaceships?

The first iteration of this was this Nectocaris sketch, but that's all for now

Where could one buy the English version of the Europasaurus book? I am very interested in reading about this dwarf sauropod.

totally not asking for another wish

I'm glad you ask!

The Europasaurus graphic novel is bilingual, available in German/English. So no matter what copy you get you should be able to read it ;)

When conceptualizing this book we were aware that it would be a very niche subject, but we still wanted to reach a international audience. Since we didn't know if we would be able to print two editions we decided to go for this approach from the very start.

It can also help people to learn a new language, my biggest problem with learning English was that I lacked the motivation and didn't have any interesting literature at hand to motivate me.

This Amphicyon got lucky! It's prey, a large male Oncorhynchus rastrosus already spawned and was in the process of dying.
