I began this drawing as a simple sketch to test some paper (a new batch of Fabriano Artistico 300lb). The red crest was such a treat to draw after using so many greys! I see and/or hear red-bellied woodpeckers almost every day, but it never gets boring :)
I’m happy with the paper. #SciArt #Birds

If you haven't seen the latest episode of Animalogic they discuss the history of debate and the evidence for something the size of #Quetzalcoatlus being able to fly.

I was happy to provide some of my art to this one.

They say AI is killing #art. Here's my attempt to kill AI with real art...
All of my work is painted traditionally on paper using #watercolors or #gouache.

As the evenings draw in I find myself called to painting more and more. After setting my digital tools down for my illustrative work I’m embracing a new traditional practice and enjoying every moment. #art #acrylicpainting #canvas #creativepeactice

As artists it can feel like there's a pressure to make art faster, more generic, and marketable for a wide audience. Generating art is that idea to an extreme. I think we need to embrace niche art that has thought and care put into it. Not just for clients, but making something only for yourself.

“Non-functional,” oil on wood panel.
This is the last of the paintings I worked on this summer. It felt nice to let social media take a back seat for a while so I could focus on art without any added pressure.

What might be my favourite fossil has been just published by Kiat et al. 2025. Years ago I saw a pic of this Anchiornis specimen in nat geo article and I audibly gasped.preserving not only the feathers but also the original patterns as well. I made this drawing on the spot. Maybe its time to do v2.0

Well-preserved Triceratops skulls have a sharp falloff on the rear frill from a vascular texture to "scooped out" cavities. It is likely these cavities were filled out by neck musculature. Many reconstructions overlook them, ending up with necks that are prorbably far too skinny.

Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis)
6x9" watercolor and gouache painting
Trying to sketch with gouache more, because I currently find it really frustrating to use...
Not sure if anyone's tired of seeing rhinos, but I'm not :]
