Made a Tyrannosaurus cut-out to greet guests coming to my trolley museum for Dinosaur Weekend in July.
Made some new plywood dinosaurs for Dinosaur Weekends at my trolley museum. This year it’s Maiasaura and Dimetrodon.
Made some paper bag prehistoric creatures for Dinosaur weekends at my Trolley Museum. Featuring Cryolophosaurus, Yutyrranus, Lystrosaurus, and Triceratops.
Hey everybody RT this, please? While mural making I haven't had time to fundraise (it would be so cool if there were 2 of me). I wanna do some cool projects this fall so I gotta sell some shirts.
It’s gardening season! Do your friends and neighbors know about the positive ecological impact we can have by planting native plants?? Help get the conversation started with our Native Plants t shirt! (Modeled by our buddy @wowthanks.bsky.social) Get one at squidfacts.net
My version of the newly-described “Cretaceous Kraken”, Nanaimoteuthis. I created this as a shirt design for my TeePublic shop.
These photos popped up in my FB feed so thought I’d reshare them here. This was a dinosaur track scavenger hunt I designed for the Connecticut Science Center to go along with a dinosaur exhibit. Fossil footprints are abundant in the Connecticut Valley and I like making more people aware of them.
Drew some aliens from the lost protplanet Theia which crashed into Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form the moon.
A review I did on one of the cooler TTRPG books I’ve read. The fey explained as energy beings that imperfectly minic mortal appearances and behavior. readingradiodont.blogspot.com/2026/04/rpgb...

A spring pollinator display I put together for the children’s section at my library job.
Me when a song on the 1920s radio station at my museum casually drops the most bizarre racial slur in the middle of a jaunty ragtime ditty.
Started doing book reviews again because I love sharing the stuff I read with others. I’m also reviewing fun little indie RPGs like this one. readingradiodont.blogspot.com/2026/03/rpg-...
Drew one of my favorite alien designs, the being from the original ending of Disney’s 1980 gothic ghosty story film “The Watcher in the Woods”. The reshot ending of the theatrical release depicted the Watcher as a column of light, but the original alien puppet is waaay cooler.
Just wanted to show off this little display about nature in winter that I put up at my library job.
Really enjoying all the cool classic free noir movies on this channel youtu.be/lqQtxcCKD_k?...

Took the cryptids to my planetarium job today. Mothman from the Mothman Museum. Flatwoods, Van Meter Visitor, Enfield Horror, and Vegetable Man from @cryptidcomforts.bsky.social
Parking lot ice and salt stains that look like spacecraft views of Kuiper Belt objects.
Caprellid party off the docks today 🐙🦑🌿
A slightly late entry for Goblin Week. Made to express my frustration at white supremacist losers using Mac Tonight as a mascot for their racist rap albums, and thus making me feel uncomfortable about using moon-headed creatures in my fantasy artwork. (It’s, uh, a bit of a niche frustration.)
Goblin Week Day 2! This green dude’s playing is playing one of my favorite weird musical instruments, the glass armonica! Made of a series of glass bowls stacked inside each other and turned on their sides and played with wet finger tips on the bowl rims.
I was on Tune FM (the University of New England student radio station) to talk about Sponges, Carnivorous Sponges, and a worm that lives with carnivorous sponges 🧪 #Invertebrate www.tunefm.net/2025/12/19/c...
Fantastic article on these amazing creatures by the incredibly talented @restingdinoface.bsky.social! (Also, for more on evolution of elephant/proboscidean tusks & trunks, check out my recent exploration/review paper [More to come soon!]) anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...)
Shovel-tuskers! Ancient elephants like Amebelodon are an evolutionary success story, and we’re only just starting to understand how they used their exceptional jaws. I’ll tell you more at Smithsonian. 🧪
First post for Goblin Week 2026! Here’s a little dude based on the clothing moth Tineola bisselliella. I think Tineola is super cool because it’s descended from moths that feed on keratin-rich bits from mammal carcasses like fur and horns- parts that other scavengers don’t eat.
It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. #bluesky #photography #landscape #birds #nature #art #landscapephotography #naturephotography #sunrise
Ohio’s Loveland Frog and Portland’s Inflatable Frog both agree. Hashtag All cryptids are antifascist.
