Common Trees of the Seridic Swamps! These might all get profiles (depends on time before the episode), but if nothing else, wanted to put this together. Shows more or less average specimens, but some like the village cypress can get a LOT bigger.

Hatchling vs lightning, here’s illustration I made for the paper “Fatal accidents in neonatal pterosaurs and selective sampling in the Solnhofen fossil assemblage” by Smyth et al., 2025. Paper below👇

It's finally here! 😍 Everyone's favorite hadrosaur, painstakingly rendered with ink and brush by the unparalleled Natee @himmapaan.bsky.social, has now joined Sinosauropteryx in my collection. Go full-size and zoom...the details are finer than my fingerprints, conjuring a world from a silhouette. 🖤

Two original ink drawings by Natee Himmapaan set one above the other on a wooden tabletop. My hand frames the bottom left corner. Both are silhouette-style renderings of dinosaurs, the top of Sinosauropteryx leaping after insect prey in thick underbrush, and the bottom of Parasaurolophus trotting over low-growing foliage as a trio of pterosaurs soar in the background. The drawings are astonishingly detailed, with ingenious use of negative and positive inking to suggest patterns on the animals, skin folds, densely overlapping undergrowth, and so on.

Apparently, it was #DinosaurDay, which also coincides with the beginning of #Pride month, so yay for us LGBTQ+ dino folk. Though really, every day is Dinosaur Day. 🦕🦖 I don't think I've posted this older Deinonychus drawing here. From 2019, the tail end of the days Before Covid.

Detail from a drawing in brown and graphite pencils of a Deinonychus standing on a broken tree trunk. Deinonychus is one of the most famous dromaeosaurs: feathered theropod dinosaurs that are perhaps most readily likened to ground dwelling predatory birds, but with a theropod snout instead of a beak. One of their most distinctive features is the large, sickle-shaped claw on their second toe. The drawing is detailed and intricate, and is photographed with a penny for scale, and one of the pencils it was drawn with.
