German paleoartist, he/him, doing extinct critters of all sorts and some spec evo too
Results from the #paleostream! We started with two #MonkeyCruise pieces in honor of Sam Neill! Limnopithecus, Europolemur, Ceratocaudia and Phoebodus.
Every illustration in Pterosaurs: The Field Guide was painted by humans. Every word was written by Pete Buchholz. No generative AI, and none ever. If you've seen AI paleoart, you already know the difference. https://fossi.ls/ks

Hey, friends! I put my big face in a video like the kids do! Time to join the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social and tell @mayor.nyc.gov to enact a moratorium on "A.i." in the schools! Please share - and please tell the mayor you want a moratorium! www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

A very successful #DinoConUk! And managed to pick up some amazing stuff this year, not least the awesome giant Kem Kem poster by @kakapojay.bsky.social! And I finally, after all these years, got myself a copy of @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social's Europasaurus!
Our new paper on an oddity from the Bolivian track record: a weird pit on a palaeosurface...digging sauropods? Read our paper to find out! fr.pensoft.net/article/1987... With the superb art work by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social 🫶
The Ordovician episode of Surviving Earth aired tonight and while only on screen for a few seconds I did recognize my favorite animal to make concept art of: Phacops. While it is one of the most common trilobites ever I had such a blast painting this little guy!
$50.1 million could fund over 400 doctorates; 933 years worth of annual curator salaries (UK), or running cost for a millennium-worth of free events like the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival. It is inane that people can accumulate such wealth, and use it explicitly to cause public harm.
Steve Brusatte@stevebrusatte.bsky.social · 3w agoGus the T. rex fetched $50.1 million at auction, a new record price for a dinosaur If this is how much dinosaurs cost now, how can museums afford them? Where does that leave science & education? Will the public still have opportunities to be inspired? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
After returning from Lithuania I finally caught up with Surviving Earth today. The Carboniferous was my favorite episode so far and not just because I made concept art for the Arthropleura. Important: I made this BEFORE the head material was published.
To all those looking for a travel tip The Haus der Natur in Salzburg is currently running a temporary exhibition on Europasaurus, based on the work of @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social
Oh BOY, what is this?! Well, something that I did on the side for a while now and that is finally available. I have been fascinated with glyptodont diversity for a long time, which goes beyond the shape of the carapace and tail weapons. These animals had bizarre faces...
Flocking! With an Opabiniid! Palaeoloxodon, Palaeosaniwa, Rhomaleosaurus, Utaurora #paleoart #sciart #paleostream #art
here's today's #Paleostream sketches!! today we sketched Palaeoloxodon (i drew P. falconeri), Palaeosaniwa, Rhomaleosaurus, and Utaurora
it was fantastic to see my Saurosuchus design is action on yesterdays episode, liked this one more than the last, and I hope I'am not too biased because one of my critters is in here. There was another one of my guys supposed to be here but it looks like it didn't make the cut.
btw. you can also get a quick run down of this phase by @ppaleoartist.bsky.social who also did most of the maps for this project! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t6I...

The second episode of Surviving Earth premieres tonight on NBC! But before that I want to share with you more concept designs I did for various animals from last week’s episode. If you know me you can imagine how excited I was to design Triassic species for this show! #paleoart #sciart #conceptart
When Atopodentatus was first described in 2014, scientists thought its mouth looked like a zipper. Two new fossils in 2016 told a different story. The original specimen was crushed, and its face actually resembled a handheld vacuum cleaner. Art by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social
