For about a year, I've been working as vizdev artist, science guy, & 3D CAD designer on an awesome project - Future Fossils. Directed by Jay Jay Burridge, Future Fossils is manufacturing a pack of life sized Megalosaurus skeletons, stylised as living machines. A thread (1/6) 🧵

-it is not *good* enough it needs to be of higher quality' but then I will start and notice 'wow I do not have the energy for high quality next to work', and then you kinda just don't do anything? it's really annoying, not sure how to combat it tho

This shit is dreck and I'm not scared of AI, what actually hurts my soul is seeing Jorge Gutierrez sell out to this AI plagiarism. I'm so fucking sad. I respected this man and his amazing films and series so much. This one really hurts. Goddamn it. Does he even know how it works? Sigh

🚨 The keys to being a successful artist in 2026: - produce as many pieces as possible - make short form videos of you doing that ⚠️ What I'm doing: - spend forever on one piece - whining about pressure to make short form video

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

Had the pleasure of making a sculpture of Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex for SHOWANNA Studio. 🦖 Pretty pleased with how this one turned out, I got to nerd out on all of her unique pathologies. The old girl lived a hard life!

I want to destroy the notion that STEM, humanities and arts, are separate units of knowledge and skill. And if you do one, you can't do other. I am a geologist, professional artist and trained in international relations. They all complement each other.

Triceratops model exploration done over the weekend. This is not based on a particular specimen. While we have some skin impressions from triceratops frills, I elected for larger scales along its surface to study different keratin textures.
