Hey there, I’m Andrew! I’m a dad and a dinosaur lover, and I review stuff occasionally. (he/him) 🦖📚🦕 dinodadreviews.com
“Dinosaurs to Dragons” by @shreevebooks.bsky.social is an interesting look into the possible real-world inspirations behind various mythical creatures. It’s certainly thought provoking, though I would take some of the suggestions with a grain of salt. dinodadreviews.com/2026/10/05/d...

It's #fossilfriday! Here's a guy from HOW TO SURVIVE PREHISTORY: Arthropleura, a (probably!) herbivorous millipede relative that roams the coal forests of Carboniferous Scotland. Survival Verdict: YES. It's got a nasty nip, but we feel if you get bit, you have it coming.
When I saw the Titanosaur exhibition at NHM London with friends, @dinomaster.bsky.social suggested I drew a Pudgy Patagotitan. I had a hard time pudgifying what is already _beyond_ pudgy, and could have pushed the exaggeration much further. I merely ended up with a short-legged titanosaur.
“Evolution for Curious Kids” caught my eye when browsing at the bookstore recently, but I was ultimately somewhat disappointed with it. Read my thoughts on it here: dinodadreviews.com/2026/09/25/e...
Evolution for Curious Kids
A somewhat disappointing book on evolution.

I visited The Lightroom’s “Prehistoric Planet” show with @himmapaan.bsky.social over the summer! It was a little pricey perhaps, but I rather liked it. 🦕🦖 dinodadreviews.com/2026/09/03/p...

My latest review covers “Great Dinosaur Mistakes”, written by Dr. Adam Smith & @jonathanemmett.com, and illustrated by @stievenvdp.bsky.social. It’s a fun look at how our views on prehistoric creatures have changed over time! dinodadreviews.com/2026/07/10/g...

I’ve reviewed @juliuscsotonyi.bsky.social and Evan Johnson-Random’s excellent book “Dinosaur World”. It catalogues every dinosaur yet discovered (at time of writing at least)! Check out my review here: dinodadreviews.com/2026/06/20/d...

I visited the @MaybornMuseum in Waco, TX over the weekend to check out the temporary #SeaMonstersUnearthed exhibit about the ancient sea reptiles of Angola. I highly recommend seeing it while it’s there! dinodadreviews.com/2026/06/14/s...
Sea Monsters Unearthed
I’ve always enjoyed visiting the Mayborn Museum down in Waco, Texas. It’s on the smaller side, but it certainly has its charms, and has a large space for temporary exhibits. It’s …

Finished the current build of #Subnautica2; it definitely left me hanging! I guess that's the price of playing early access.
“Earth Clock” is a fun book on Deep Time that takes the classic analogy of mapping Earth’s history onto a 24 hour clock to help make sense of the vast units of time involved. dinodadreviews.com/2026/05/19/e...
Earth Clock

My contribution to the fertility decline discourse is to note that there has never, in the millions of years that hominids have existed on this planet, been a sustained global population boom like we've seen in the past 300ish years. Why in god's name would you think that growth is sustainable?
My latest review covers Frederic Wierum’s “My Dinosaur Alphabet Coloring Book”. It’s a charming coloring book with two dinosaurs per letter of the alphabet. My son and I both enjoyed coloring it in! dinodadreviews.com/2026/05/14/m...

Aw yes! It’s about time! I finally got my copy of #OtherWorlds: The Art of @alexries.com. I contributed to its Kickstarter quite a while ago, but the wait was worth it!
I always see nonpartisan, righteous anger at public art. Everyone loves to hate a concrete blob bought with taxpayer money, what's it even meant to be etc. My hot take: art funding is good and there's no benign policy for keeping out 'bad' art. You really just gotta fund it until a good one happens
I’m getting trained on the air scribe at the Perot museum today! I’m gonna be a volunteer fossil preparator. 😁 They have me working on an ammonite with no collection data so that if I make a mistake I don’t break anything important. 😅
I wonder what whalefall communities survived on between the death of the great sea reptiles and the evolution of fully marine whales. Or did they just go extinct and have to re-evolve later?
Here’s my review of Dean Lomax’s “An Anthology of Fossils”, a collection of profiles on various fossils throughout Earth’s history. I rather like it, though I might have been stricter with the chronological order of things. 🦴🦖🦕🦣 dinodadreviews.com/2026/03/27/a...
An Anthology of Fossils
A collection of fossils both famous and obscure!

This isn't finished yet but looks so good?? It's like I bent the background making skill to my will. Ngl I'm sooo glad I crunched out that comic paleomedia recently. It snapped something in me and rearranged my neurons idk making backgrounds tastes differently now #art #gamedev #ZidJourney
