14 years ago, I bought this book (I know because Amazon, where I got the cover image from, is telling me when I last purchased this item 😄). @TomHoltzPaleo & @LuisVRey reignited my love for dinosaurs, palaeoart & palaeontology in general! Thanks, guys! 🤩
To the person who just placed a nice order on my Etsy shop - saving me from what was about to be my worst ever week since I began trading…
THANK YOU!!!
I saw his illustrations in A Field Guide to Dinosaurs: The Essential Handbook for Travelers in the Mesozoic when I was younger and realized that's what I want to do.
In case you ever doubted that art has the power to change people’s lives:
Several years ago, whilst bored at work, doing a job that was destroying my soul, I stumbled across this illustration online.
I now earn a living drawing dinosaurs.
Thank you Luis.

I have deleted my earlier post (accusations of my museum work being AI-generated) because I want to try and remain professional. To all who replied with their customary kind and supportive words - thank you. Sorry if I didn’t reply, I just didn’t have the headspace.
Let’s call this what it is. A pogrom in the UK. Masked mobs hunting down foreigners and dark-skinned people, smashing windows, burning houses.
An attempt at a British Kristallnacht.
Far-right agitators fomenting violence, like Elon Musk FRS, are a disgrace & must be stopped.
And the best part is that I had to turn down a once-in-a-lifetime gig with ILM because I had already committed to this job.
Which I probably shouldn’t be saying in public. But fuck it.
Turned down something I’d dreamt about doing since I was a little kid, for this to happen.
I don’t like to boast, but I earned $0.12 from Meta this month. Absolutely smashing this social media thing. Sign up for my course now to learn the secrets of my success.
The Pharaoh. Spinosaurus aegyptiacus - a new private commission. The client requested that it be depicted as a shoreline ambush predator, rather than a more fully aquatic animal - a choice which very much fits with my own personal view of spinosaurus. (1/2)
