A digital portrait of Istiodactylus - an extinct flying reptile. It is shown who a long, curved orange snout with tightly-spaced blade-like teeth at the tip.

Ok… so I’m in negotiations with one of the BIG publishers to license one of my illustrations. Just two emails in and we’re already at the “this is a children’s book, so our budget is very limited” stage. Y’know what else is limited? My patience.

Yesterday I posted on Twitter in support of a transgender mutual. The replies I received overnight have been a tiny (and of course I mean *tiny*) insight into what they have to deal with every day. How they keep going in the face of such bigotry and hatred is beyond me. But they do. (1/2)

Bambiraptor feinbergi. Possibly a valid genus… possibly a juvenile Saurornitholestes. Possibly none of the above. I spent far too long on this one. I hope it was worth it 🫠 If the scientists could avoid reclassifying Bambi before people have seen this, I’d appreciate it. 😉 #SciArt

A digital illustration of the head neck and shoulders of a small dinosaur against and out-of-focus background. The dinosaur has a large eye and long, tooth-filled snout. Its neck is covered with wrinkly, pink skin, with its shoulders covered in dark blue-black feathers.

(10/10) All in all, #DinoConUK was one of the best experiences of my life. The people I met were so lovely and fun to hang around with, the guests delievered interesting talks, and the staff did an amazing job pulling it all together. I loved it! Thank your for reading! #dinoconuk
