Photo of my sketch of Sue the T. rex's skeleton in front of the Sue mount at The Field Museum in Chicago. I was sitting on the floor for a few hours working on this and it was so annoying because they have an informative light show that plays on the skeleton periodically and I wouldn't be able to make out details during this 5-6 minute sequence. Also my legs kept falling asleep! Someone was taking photos of me working on it, I wonder if those ever made it online. Anyways, its a really awesome museum

I met Sue the T. rex in real life 🥹

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.

thank you!!

cute and cuddly

hahaha thank you and yes : )

thank you!

haha thank you! I think this one took me a good 5hs? Maybe even 6hs. I was figuring it out a lot on the spot

adding this to my ever-growing "to do" list

thank you for your kind words!

always a great question to ponder

Yep! There are some badly made tie downs there haha, enough to keep those feet somewhat in place. And for the rig removal, I'm not doing that yet! I've been enjoying leaving the rig there for those tests.

Thank you : )

Lil bro thought I was taking a photo of him 😂

Been making an effort to doodle more on paper lately. Fun to crank out some little guys free of any Big Art™ pressure

Thank you!

oh i had this realization once

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!

Notes on chapters 2 through 4 of Mark P. Witton's "King Tyrant," mostly on anatomy and biomechanics, plus a few other big-headed megapredators.

While I'm laid up, I'm catching up on reading and note-taking. Here's what I jotted down from chapters 2-4 of @markwitton.bsky.social's "King Tyrant" before I had to take it back to the library.

Happy birthday!! 🦖

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.

Hey all!

I want to wish you all a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Here's a couple of baby Seikrets being cute, because let's be honest, they are freaking adorable.

Thank you all for the inspiration through your words and actions. Here's to 2026 being a better year!

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.
