#SVP2024 was last week, and in addition to seeing some great talks and shepherding my students around, I also got to go on a surprise research trip to the #Science #Museum of Minnesota with the @ndgspaleo.bsky.social crew. More #dinosaur mummy shenanigans to come.

#SVP2024 doodles.
I don't usually post sketches, but I thought I'd show some of my mindless doodles I made without any references that I did during SVP and on the plane back.
This is generally what my initial sketches look like.

The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Annual Conference did not disappoint! Such a fabulous chance to see old friends and make lots of new ones #SVP2024 #paleosky #paleontology

If you’re at #SVP2024 my #paleoart will 🤞🏻 hopefully 🤞🏻 be in John Kanipe’s talk on the Cretaceous Creatures public outreach program. Thanks to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences & Drs. Thomas Cullen & Lindsay Zanno for the opportunity. #SVP

Come see my post tonight if you’re interested in some weird “archaic” mammals #SVP2024
Anyone else at #svp2024 on here?
A full sized print of the Edmontosaurus arm belonging to Dakota the dinomummy.
Happy #FossilFriday from a print we made of the Dakota arm here at #SVP2024. Come pet it and marvel in the reconstruction done by @himmapaan.bsky.social in the informational sign behind it at the NDGS friends booth
My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
In 2017 I built a life-size Liopleurodon head for Wollaton Hall Museum, Nottingham, it had a big mouth!

If anyone at the #SVP2024 sees this, please give either/all of the mad wonderful lads Brian, Stacey, and/or Esben a huge congratulatory hug from me! 💚🦕🤘
A life-size reconstruction of the small dinosaur Nanosarus agilis. It has a brown-y camouflage coloured downy surface, except for the face and neck, which have splotches of coloured scales, and the tail that is covered in large scales. The hip region sports a skirt of pointy quills.
A morning view of the lush rainforest of the Late Jurassic Northern Morrison Formation. The scene is dominated by the lower trunk of a huge araucaria tree in the foreground. A Hesperosaurus and a young Diplodocus make their way through the dense foliage in the mid-ground of the image.
I am so very proud to be able to say that we have not one, but TWO Lanzendorf Paleoart Prize winners in our new museum! Swedish 10Tons wizard Stacey Wiik won the 3D-sculpture prize for Nanosaurus, and maestro Brian Engh won for his dynamic Morrison mural #SVP2024 #FossilFriday

In 2017 I built a life-size Liopleurodon head for Wollaton Hall Museum, Nottingham, with guidance from Dr Adam Smith. I'll show how I built it, here is Part 1.

Here's my "Archosaurian Dawn" painting & prelims, created with Prof John Hutchinson at the Royal Veterinary Collage. It was commissioned for the Dawn Dinosaurs project (2017).

omg I gotta get in the loop about when and where SVP events are held because if I had known it was going to be in the twin cities this year, I would have 100% just drove over 😭
Hope you all are having fun regardless!

Got to visit some Mesozoic friends at the SVP2924 welcoming reception at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Talk pulled off within the time limit! A good day at #SVP2024.
Don't lose your head today...

What an excellent start to #SVP2024 - Paleontologist Dr. Brandon Kilbourne reading his poetry and reflecting on natural historians, their role in colonialism, racism, and repression, and making sure we all know and share with our students the legacy of our field. #2024SVP #Paleosky #Paleontology 🧪
My colleagues over at Crash Course are looking for a geology expert! I feel like I know some folks who would be great in this role… #SVP2024 #geosky ⚒️ 🦕

Excited to be back in my hometown for #SVP2024! There’s a lot of cool stuff to do here, but if you have a couple hours I highly recommend the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It’s only a mile from the hotel, easy to get to by bus, and has free admission.
On my way to #svp2024... such a roller-coaster of emotions...
