Paleo Ink Journal

What was intended to be just a doodle on a flight ended up being a sort of re-imagining of my first ever commissioned dinosaur artwork for and his mesozoic death metal band Carnotaurus. Maybe we could chalk it down to 2 carcharodontosaurids trying to bring down a (juvenile to sub-adult?) titanosaur.

If you're a well-commissioned, scientifically validated paleoartist stumbling upon this post, I openly welcome any form of critique of this.

Tyrannosaurus rex | Tyrannosaur (Late Cretaceous Period)

For those who've missed me, I'm back!

Here's a sketch I drew out of imagination (and boredom) on a flight I took recently. It probably has a tonne of scientific and artistic errors but I'm reasonably pleased with the result. I'm hoping to be more regular with posting new artwork, and less regular with saying so without doing so!

A big thanks to those of you who've stuck around!

Hi all,

Just returned from a trip to Europe which included a visit to the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels, Belgium. I was so happy to be there and was very impressed by the way the museum is curated. Needless to say, I decided to draw some of the dinosaurs on display. What was most fascinating for me was the story of the Bernissart iguanodons and how 30 of their skeletons were found buried 322 metres under the ground together.

Stegouros elongassen | Ankylosaur (Late Cretaceous period)

The last dinosaur discovery to be named in 2021, Stegouros must not be confused with the name 'Stegosaurus'. The prefix 'stego' means roof, and 'uros' means tail, a reference to the unusual shape of its flat tail. The tail has also been likened to a macuahuitl, an ancient Aztec weapon, owing to its country of discovery, Chile.
