South Africa’s Elliot Formation during the end of the Triassic. A large, starving #rauisuchid wanders through an increasingly arid landscape in search of prey that is becoming ever scarcer. From my book (När dinosaurierna tog över, 2025) about the #dinosaurs of the Early Jurassic. #paleoart #sciart

Somewhere in Siberia during the #Pleistocene, three impatient #Homotherium cubs wait for their mother to return from today’s hunt. From my upcoming children’s #book ”Urgulliga urtidsungar och deras förhistoriska föräldrar” (Idus Publishing) for ages 3 and up. #sciart #scicomm #paleoart
After a refreshing dip in the river delta, a Schleitheimia schutzi emits a deep, resonant call to signal to the rest of the gang that the cooling break is over. #Switzerland, Late #Triassic. Slightly updated illustration from my book ”De första dinosaurierna” (2023) #dinosaur #paleoart #sciart
It’s #velociraptorawarenessday! Here’s a dancing teenager and three feisty chicks of everyone’s favourite raptor… Velociraptor mongoliensis 🥳 #dinosaur #paleoart #sciart
Scene from the Late Cretaceous Allen Formation in Argentina. Two male Kelumapusaura machi are giving a group of azhdarchid pterosaurs (Aerotitan sudamericanus) and a poor little Bonapartenykus ultimus a fright. #dinosaur #pterosaur #paleoart #sciart
Here’s Lystrosaurus murrayi ignoring the Great Dying, the mother of mass extinctions, just getting on with its parrot-pig-reptile-bulldog business #paleoart #sciart #dicynodont #triassic

Late #Cretaceous Winton Formation, #Australia. A huge Australotitan cooperensis ploughs ahead, paying no heed to bothersome #pterosaurs (Ferrodraco lentoni) or a puny Australovenator wintonensis. A group of Diamantinasaurus matildae observe the commotion from a distance. #dinosaur #paleoart #sciart

A short break from the Mesozoic… here’s a European Homotherium latidens trying its hunting skills during the latest ice age some 12,000 years ago. #paleoart #sciart #prehistoricmammal
Darwinopterus modularis flaplings getting ready for the big leap 😬🤞 #pterosaur #paleoart #sciart #jurassic
On 5th September, the gallery will be full of books! 📚 Okay, not quite, but we will chat with @speed.thief, @stavrossk.bsky.social, and @aguirrefirth about their processes of releasing a book. Of course with artwork created by them. 3/n
Southern #Sweden during the late Cretaceous. A pair of pteranodontids trying to keep a healthy distance from an admittedly passive mosasaur. Meanwhile, the hesperornithids take a short break from foraging to catch some rays. #paleoart #sciart #scicomm #dinosaurs
