Streaking through the sky like a bell-bottomed black-suited disco-ninja, the "four-winged" dinosaur Microraptor attempts to grab an early bird, the pintailed Yuanchuavis, from the Cretaceous sky with taloned feet. Fossils show that Microraptor had a diverse diet that included birds, alongside lizards and fish.

My social media silence is not because I'm dead, kidnapped, or abducted by aliens; I'm working around the clock to make Book 7 all that it can be before submission later this month. Here's a new #paleoart take on Microraptor and Yuanchuavis to show what I'm up to.

OK, break over: back to work...

Even more dynamic wrinkles. Somebody needs to stop me tinkering so that this model can actually be properly animated in this lifetime...

As the time to talk #SurvivingEarth nears, I wanted to say that I’m extremely proud to have been part of the amazing team who worked on it

I was commissioned by Tim Haines (producer of Walking with Dinosaurs) and his team, to create the concept art for MANY animals for this project!

WHY THE FUCK would you even go to university if you intend use this?
Part of this is because education is so geared toward getting a good grade and not the process of learning but MY GOD how stupid can you be to think this is a good idea?!

New fossils may settle debate over mysterious sail-backed spinosaurs Spinosaurs have sometimes been portrayed as swimmers or divers, but a new species of these dinosaurs bolsters the idea that they were more like gigantic herons

In which I provide a few thoughts on the new Spinosaurus species, S. mirabilis.

I also stressed the deep connections between one of the study authors - Nathan Myhrvold - and Geoffrey Epstein to New Scientist. They didn't mention it, neither has anyone else.

Does anyone know who illustrated these theropods? There’s quite a few more in this same style, they were used on a late 90s-early 2000s website discussing the largest theropods but I’ve never seen an artist credit.

Eugenics is wild. You've some dudes going "have you noticed how better read, educated and musical we are in relation to the rest of population. Must be our genes" No. Dude, you are inanely affluent, went to a private school, you're not special, you're a participant in active class stratification.
