Parapithecus grangeris and some fruit from oligocene fayum egypt. Not to scale
Meganthropus palaeojavanicus of Sangiran, Central Java, Indonesia. A hominid that lived during the early-middle Pleistocene. Brush test from last year. The fur brush is by Ville Sinkkonen, which you can get from his gumroad. Easily my top 5 brushpacks.

Devonion fishies Elpistostege (close relative of the famous Tiktaalik) and couple of bothriolepis swimming by. Needs updating but still thinking this is one of my better paintings I have done
Work of Margret Flinch should get more attention and be named along the Knight and Christman as the great paleoartists. Illustrator and sculptor among other things she made life reconstructions to Osborns massive two part monograph series on proboscideans. I’m particularly fond of these ink drawings

Squeezing in one more art piece before the end of 2024, a year after having the opportunity to do fieldwork in the Candeleros Fm of Argentina's Neuquén Basin. That trip inspired this piece, which depicts a group of titanosaurs traveling a dry interdune riverbed at sunset. #paleoart #sauropods 🦕
My latest piece! "A serpent in the making" Basically a show of how I work as an artist.... Featuring Hainosaurus bernardi alongside some Squalicorax sharks and fish. Belgium circa 67 million years ago.
