photo of a sketchbook page featuring some doodles of a more realistic nidoking. What this is not a photo of is that blokees nidoking figure who really thought this was about him. The ego on this guy is out of control.
Lil bro thought I was taking a photo of him 😂

Been making an effort to doodle more on paper lately. Fun to crank out some little guys free of any Big Art™ pressure
Thank you!

oh i had this realization once
Had the pleasure of making a sculpture of Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex for SHOWANNA Studio. 🦖
Pretty pleased with how this one turned out, I got to nerd out on all of her unique pathologies. The old girl lived a hard life!

Notes on chapters 2 through 4 of Mark P. Witton's "King Tyrant," mostly on anatomy and biomechanics, plus a few other big-headed megapredators.
While I'm laid up, I'm catching up on reading and note-taking. Here's what I jotted down from chapters 2-4 of @markwitton.bsky.social's "King Tyrant" before I had to take it back to the library.
Happy birthday!! 🦖
I want to destroy the notion that STEM, humanities and arts, are separate units of knowledge and skill. And if you do one, you can't do other. I am a geologist, professional artist and trained in international relations. They all complement each other.
Hey all!
I want to wish you all a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
Here's a couple of baby Seikrets being cute, because let's be honest, they are freaking adorable.
Thank you all for the inspiration through your words and actions. Here's to 2026 being a better year!

Triceratops model exploration done over the weekend. This is not based on a particular specimen. While we have some skin impressions from triceratops frills, I elected for larger scales along its surface to study different keratin textures.
Rex, all hail the king #sciart
For over a decade industry legend (Big)Jeff Simpson has kept his arcane teachings to himself, that changes now. Y'all should check this out if you want to get better at art.

Hello? Who's this?
Everyone go watch 'Nightfall'! I did the majority of the VFX and supervised the animation team for this film! I'm very proud of how all the dinosaurs came out and I hope you like them!

Dragon skull. Always liked the idea of creating skulls of various fantasy creatures. Just never got around to it.
sketch of a T. rex skull and soft tissue from front and side views. Being able to draw a good T. rex should be a mandatory skill one has in order to graduate art school.
Quickie little guide to T. rex faces. I feel like I've gotten into the habit of only sharing big final works but let me know if you'd like me to post more of my little sketches.

Happy to announce, my palaeoart below, won the "Impression on China" Award (II), organized by the Chinese Embassy in Poland.
I will NOT cry. I will NOT cry
omg, it's so beautiful. I love how this is about the craft and the artists, and only gives you just a little bit of the vibe. Back in the 90s this is how they'd do trailers, they'd literally have pencil tests IN THE TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE, that's what this is giving
It looks incredible!!
Check out this amazing bird we made (I work on it's silicone feet a lot and was on a lot of the car/road shots):
