It's Fossil Friday!

Here are some zooms into my "Deep Blue Buffet" painting (Part 1), commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of species from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay: a dead sauropod, "The Sea Rex" (probably Pliosaurus), Hybodus, Hypsocormus, Metriorhynchus, Aspidorhynchus, and lots of Allothrissops.

Illustration I’ve made of Ferenceratops shqiperorum, the first dinosaur species ever named for the new year of 2026.

Capercaillie x yutyrannus fantasy

Manipulonyx, a new alvarezsaur with really fascinating hands! The condition of the fingers isn't that unusual for the clade but the OSTEODERMS on the hand are new! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS A SPIKE ON THE PALM?!

Anyway, Happy Holidays!

Adding to the collection of weirdly handed theropods described this year. Duonychus (a therizinosaur) and Mexidracon (a ornithomimosaur).

A short break from the Mesozoic… here’s a European Homotherium latidens trying its hunting skills during the latest ice age some 12,000 years ago.

I drew another interesting dinosaur, this one is Yi qi. A small theropod that looks like a bat and bird mixed together! I based mine on a Reeve's pheasant.

Caught this guy on camera.
