My dear friends,
Welcome to October! Always been my favorite month, I loved autumn long before a certain coffee roaster made that one overly sugary drink. To be fair, as a kid I loved October because it was the month of my birthday. Growing up in places when the seasons really started to change in October always made the fall feel ch...

My wonderful patrons,
today I have for you a project spanning the concept art through to the finished project. I was commissioned by a friend to do one of my pinups involving a duo I've explored a few times already: a spinosaurus and a spearfisher woman.
I really liked the idea in the last concept sketch. Maybe I'll actua...

Hello wonderful patrons,
Sorry for the radio silence recently. The wife and our house-panther moved to a new apt over the weekend and we have been very busy and very exhausted. As soon as my studio is finished I'll give you guys a tour.
I thought i'd share some of the concept sketches for a big commission I'm...

I love finding images that will make interesting backgrounds. I change them out at least once a month. They are almost always art by people I admire and subjects I obsess over, usually landing on either Star Wars or paleoart. It isn't just a landing page or conversation piece for anyone that might see it, but something that fits the mood I'm in,...

Hello wonderful patrons!
As promised, I present you a ceratopsid themed coloring page for this month. Just like last time, the file is a .png so if you want to you can color it in digitally or print it out and color the old fashioned way!
I had a lot of fun drawing this guy and hope you'll have fun coloring it! Please share you...

HI guys! very excited and nervous to share with you my first video. It looks like the coloring page for September is going to be a ceratopsid! YAY!
figured I would kill two stones with one bird and show you my sketchy sketchy style of working out a pose and coming up with the composition that will become the next coloring page! ...

I'm sure everyone has seen this already but I thought I'd share a high-res version of it with you wonderful people that you can download to enjoy all the juicy detail up close!
This was in the works for a long time and kept me quite busy during the last few months.
I'm sure you'll recognize the Styracosaurus from the proc...

Hello my fantastic friends!
I had promised you a video proces and I meant to record myself painting the Terror-bird rider. I am ashamed to say that rendering that image, with the light and pallet I had intended proved to be more difficult than I had thought.
What I suspected would be a simple matter of applying flat color in a ...

Very special instalment of Rage Raptors for you today. I got involved in a conversation with someone last night. My heart was pounding in my ears, my hands were shaking and I was starting to see red. So I turned up some music took out my tablet and started another Rage Raptor.
I'm not going to share the story with anyone except...

Hello my amazing Patrons!
I've got some more art for your eyeballs. The mighty Titanis walleri or "terror bird" in the common tongue. As big as 8ft tall, up to 300lbs, heavy, deep beaks, large feet on powerful legs, terror is right! For me, I can't help but think of what these animals looked like, sounded like and how they hunted. An...

and somehow I ended up with a few pages of people riding extinct megafauna. I know, not supring.
Well, I needed to draw an animal for this other project of mine, more on that later, and so I started messing around in photoshop. Sometimes it's easier for me to get a lot down quickly if I work digitally. Anyway I've had this itch to dr...

I recently rewatched Tartakovsky's Primal yesterday for some good old fashioned Saturday morning cartoonage. I was inspired again, as I was upon first watching it to draw this duo, Fang and Spear, in my own style.
I decided to draw "Spear" more after myself then a huge muscular hunk. I think the appeal of a show like this is really to imag...

Hello marvelous patrons!
Behold, the first step-by-step of my process. This one is very broad. It's a basic overview of my process that shows generally how I arrive at a finished reconstruction. It's also what I had available at the moment. In the future, I will start making unique pieces for demo purposes and explain a lot more of my meth...

I'm starting to to think about next month's Coloring Page and I could use some input for you guys. The image will be a single or pair of animals on a black background. A "spot illustration." I've got the itch to do a few different types of animals so thought it might be f...

Thought I'd give you guys more then two pages this time. Here are a bunch of pages that came into being toward the end of May, early June and I was coming to terms with the new normal the pandemic had brought us to and beginning to think about doing freelance full time instead of returning to the day job. You guys are a BIG part of me being able...

Hello my wonderful patrons! As some of you may have seen, I produced this study of dilophosaurus recently after watching Brian Engh's demo. If you like What i'm doing you should definitely check him out.
Anyway, THIS ladies and gentlesaurs, is the first sticker for the year. I'll be producing them quarterly (i hope!) since they are a...

These are two of the more refined iterations on this theme. Often when I worked retail and encountered rude or entitled condescending customers, I'd take out my frustration by drawing a person that somewhat resembles them being violently dismembered by a predatory Dinosaur (sometimes even a herbivore like Styracosaurus, you get the idea.) <...

The coloring page for the month of August! Since the newly described Dilophosaurus skull has been in the news, I figured it was appropriate. The file is a .PNG so feel free to print it out and color the old fashioned way or open it in Photoshop or another digital painting program and color it there! Enjoy!
