I was always being vocal at against using AI slops in a specific dinosaur event held in Korea for years. It cannot be any excuse if they say "We purchased them from Adobe stock image websites" because these places are now full with slops. Hope they could use Paleostock website next year.

Hey everyone - For #FossilFriday, I'm relaunching a completely overhauled Skeletal Drawing dot Com. Check it out, read the welcome post (below), and let me know what you think! www.skeletaldrawing.com/blog/welcome...

Welcome to the completely overhauled SkeletalDrawing.com. For the last month and a half I've been working on a ground-up overhaul of the website. I'd like to explain a bit of what's changed and why, h...

Enjoyed visiting both the Carnegie Museum of Art & Natural History Museums in Pittsburgh PA yesterday, both world-class institutions. An ichnological highlight for me? Seeing what I think is still the largest known eurypterid trackway, made by a 2.3 meters (7.5 feet) long eurypterid: oh my. 🧪🪨🌊🦂🐾

Gray sandstone surface seen at an angle so its width seems to decrease in the distance, but actually stays the same; on this surface are sets of three linear and parallel impressions on both left and right sides, making a "V" pattern.Gray sandstone surface with two sets of three linear and parallel impressions on both left and right sides, making a "V" pattern, my hand to the lower left as scale, showing the set of three there is about three times wider than my hand.Sign for the display in previous two photos, with an illustration of a eurypterid on the left making a trackway of three sets of tracks on right and left sides; the eurypterid has a long segmented main body and a short head with two eyes, and on each side are three walking legs and a paddle-like leg. The top part of the text says "A Giant Sea Scorpion Trackway from Western Pennsylvania," then "Palmichnium koniskiorum, CM 34388 (Holotype), Briggs, & Rolfe, 1983," followed by a lot more text that I didn't feel like typing (sorry).

Regarding the publisher that used my Koreaceratops artwork without specifying the license, I proceeded until just before starting the lawsuit, but they didn't want a legal dispute and offered an agreement, so we eventually settled it with an appropriate amount.

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated about this situation. I don't think they saw my social medias. They might saw the Wikipedia page where I uploaded my life reconstruction. But I don't give a shit whatever it is. Making AI slop based on someone's artwork should be eliminated.

I remember somebody said like this before: "WDRA is inaccurate because they show Icarosaurus in New York. But the actual fossil is from New Jersey." Maybe he never searched the locality of its holotype. He really needs to check the map.

Now I am concentrating on drawing some Paleozoic critters. Working on a specific project that will be out likely next year with another fellow paleoartist.
