The huge Deinocheirus in its habitat. Illustration I did for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan

In this illustration you can see a scene set in Late Cretaceous Asia where an adult Deinocheirus is scaring away a pair of young Tarbosaurus

I am currently working on MANY commissions. Here are some sneak peeks of two. I cannot share anything else about them yet!

Last weekend I had the opportunity to find a Broad-banded Copperhead (Agkistrodon laticinctus) for the first time! What a beautiful snake!

Sloths! Reminder that I have to finish that plate of the sloths that went extinct in the last 20,000 years

Therizinosaurs are, without a doubt, some of the most interesting groups of theropod dinosaurs

Here you have a selection of a few species that I reconstructed for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan for their 25th Anniversary Special Exhibition

In late August Renesto et al. published a paper where they described a specimen of Lariosaurus valceresii that preserves the skin, even outlining the body and limbs as well scales. I must say that I am happy that it is very very close to what I had hypothesized 😍

It is great when your educated guesses or hypotheses get proven largely correct by the fossil record. Here is a link to the Renesto et al. paper https://sjpp.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s13358-025-00396-z

No. Not really. I just might do some minor adjustments to the squamation of L. valceresii
