This is one of the pieces that always come to my mind when I try to picture Hell Creek's environment

At long last, Beth Zaiken’s spectacular He’ll Creek mural is permanently installed in the Sue gallery!

Corner display with a verdant mural of dinosaurs and other creatures in a swamp, over four cases with small fossils.

this is bonkers. if you're unaware, Ipomoea is the genus that contains morning glories, sweet potato, and kangkung.

Ipomoea spp. are mostly twining climbers (Ipomoea is one of the most common climbers worldwide), but a few species are trees! This is I. murucoides of the seasonally dry forests of Mexico. Habit 📷: Alejandra Zayas CCBYNC4. #Convolvulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

The spectacularly produced new art book, Mesozoic Art II, hit the shelves! I happen to be one of the artists featured in the line-up of fantastic people who bring the dead back to life! A great opportunity to talk about my creative journey 🧵

He’s doing great! A very sweet boy, always making funny faces and asking for pets.

Julio the Artist @lacerdajulio.bsky.social · 22d

Thank you and sure! No problem

Stuck on a loop where I have the urge to produce personal pieces but don't have time because of commissioned work, and whenever I do have a break I'm stumped by artist's block :(

Young Dinornis at the Beach 🏖️

Two juvenile giant moa (Dinornis robustus) run energetically along a beach, creating some splashes as they go. Small waves roll in behind them.

The Deep Ones - I’ve been always thinking about a deep sea Cephalopod theme and here it is! Tentacles and appendages are so different when it comes to arranging the composition so it took me a good while, and hopefully it ends up well! 🦑🐙They’re just like from another world💙

I’ve finished another needle felted piece of terrain….all made from wool :-) It’s so satisfying!

Somniosus insomnus💤🦈 @somniosa.bsky.social · Aug 5

Postschizotherium intermedium, a large Pliohyracids with a hippo-like head. For almost a hundred year, people can only learn about this animal through its skulls and teeth. With no any thing about the postcranial, it's very hard to accurately reconstruct the entire body shape. 1/
