Happy #PortfolioDay!
I'm a palaeontology student and mostly draw various unusual animals (both extinct and extant), and like doing interesting vegetation and backgrounds! I also do some more technical scientific illustration.
Contact for commissions is [email protected]

(1 of 2) illustrated plate of smoky quartz specimens from Idaho in my collection. I dug a couple of these myself and the rest were bought from independent rockhounds. These are all from the Sawtooth Batholith and dug mostly in the Trinities.

For friendsofabracadaver on tumblr, a Least Bittern! Big thanks once again for the #Waymakers donation. The challenge is over for this year but I'll be wrapping up bird art for donors over the next couple weeks. Much appreciation to all of you who joined in!

🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

Digital painting of a Least Bittern clinging to green reeds as it aims downward, watching the water carefully for movement. It has yellow eyes, a very sharp pointy beak, and a mottled gray-yellow-reddish back. The water surface is murky and covered in little green duckweed leaves.

is there anything more soothing to draw than grasses twisting in the wind?

I haven’t really been completely satisfied with some of my art for #invertober2025 (mainly because I don’t have time to put more effort into each one), so I’m switching to a different style for the rest of the animals.

Digital, stylized drawings of a Japanese Sea Nettle, Red-Banded Leafhopper, Giant Green Anemone, Palmetto Weevil, Painted Spiny Lobster, and Buff-Tip Moth

a set of 6 linocut prints in black ink on tan paper. from left to right, the prints show: a Deinonychus with wings outspread, a group of ostrich dinosaurs, a Parasaurolophus framed by clouds, a stegosaur, a soaring Pteranodon, and a Borealopelta wading through shallow water.

old photograph but my favourite type of landscape lighting :)

photograph of mallee heathland with blue storm clouds in the sky and bright, direct yellow lighting over the landscape nearer the viewer

2 days since I finished the ~6 months of graphite drawings of rock formations & series of bones. kind of feeling the desire to draw perhaps a graphite drawing of an interestingly shaped crystal...
