Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Is it a lizard? Is it a snake? Maybe a 'false snake'?? As that's what its name means in Gaelic! Hello to Breugnathair, a new fossil from the Jurassic of Skye with a curious mix of snake & lizard features, showing that early squamate evolution was complex www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

bbc.co.uk

Fossil found on Skye is new species of fanged Jurassic reptile

Experts say the lizard-like creature, which has been given the Gaelic name Breugnathair elgolensis, had lived about 167 million years ago.

I was honored to create this illustration to accompany the discovery of Breugnathair elgolensis a newly discovered genus of reptile that shares traits of both lizards and snakes. Congratulations and special thanks to the authors! You can read the paper using the link below doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Paraiso Lodge in Costa Rica’s Talamanca Mountains is famed for its close views of fiery-throated hummingbirds. Often overlooked, the lodge’s elevation offers a stunning view of the Central Valley. While it was tempting to zoom in, the added context made it my favorite shot of the trip.

I’ve spent the past couple weeks recovering from a deviated septum surgery. Every evening, I sat on the front porch watching this Orbweaver tend to its web. I discovered if I shot wide open and lined up the spider with the neighbors garage lights, I could outline it with bokeh.

Kleptoparasitism. Geosternternbergia, Nyctosaurus and Enchodus. Inspired by the book Oceans of Kansas by Micheal J Everhart and the brown pelicans, magnificent frigate birds and delicious mahi-mahi tacos at my trip to Puerto Vallarta. #paleoart #pterosaurs

A chaotic scene of pterosaurs. A Geosternbergia with an Enchodus in its mouth is absolutely pestered by a flock of Nyctosaurus all trying to steal the fish.

Since today is Pokemon day I thought it would be a good time to share my fakemon project I’ve been working on lately! I have much less time to do art in optometry school so this has been keeping me creative while I focus on my studies :)

Happy #FossilFriday, and a massive THANK-YOU so much to everyone who's followed me!!! I've just passed 5k, which is about double the followers I've had anywhere else before, so thank-you!!!🥰 As a treat, here's a new piece of #paleoart which I've previously only shared on Patreon! #paleobotany #plant

A parchment coloured landscape page covered in different bennettitalean leaf genera. They are almost all frond-like and green, but vary wildly in their shape and structure. The genera present are Anomozamites, Dictyozamites, Nipponoptilophyllum, Ptilophyllum, Shenozamites, Eoginkgoites, Nilssoniopteris, Otozamites, Pseudocycas, Pterophyllum, and Zamites.

I’ve been a bit slow in posting so far in 2025 and so far, it’s all been crossbills! We do have other birds around, but the crossbills are hanging around so … This male White-winged Crossbill was intently searching for his next cone. #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

A brilliant pink/red male white-winged crossbill about to fly down from a spruce tree branch to get a cone. He’s looking for another cone as he just finished eating the seeds from his last one.

This morning I came across a group of birds eating from a fallen oak branch. I dug a little hole in the snow and waited for them to return. To my surprise a gorgeous male red bellied woodpecker flew in! Here are some shots from the encounter 📸 ❄️ #birdphotography #bird #birdwatching

Day 19 #ArtAdventCalendar -spread from my Illinois prairie nature journal, covering August 10-17, 2021. Silphiums like cupplant and prairie dock tower above the prairie in August attracting pollinators and birds alike to their bounty. And gentians with bumblebees are fun to watch. #SciArt #prairie

2 page spread with watercolor and ink sketches interspersed with handwritten notes. Left page- multi-branched stalk of yellow daisy-like cup plant flowers with a black and yellow carrion beetle below it and a black patterned grasshopper on the other side. A shorter cream gentian flower stalk is to the right and overlaps into the next page. Notes-Schulenberg prairie, Aug 10, 2021, cloudy and humid- hot! 84- feels like 97, 1 hr 40 min later-90- feels like 104 degrees. B.impatiens were main pollinators today. Never seen pine-tree spur-throat grasshopper before! Saw cream gentian 8/10, drew 8/17
Right page-sketched multi-branched stalk of prairie dock with its ball-like buds and yellow flowers. A closer version of cream gentian with a bumblebee pushing inside is under the prairie dock. To the right are 2 sketches of a Ripiphorus beetle from the top and side. Notes- Aug 13, 2021, Springbrook Prairie, 78 degrees sun with clouds, Beautiful day! Saw lots of bees on monarda, ambush bug, goldfinches and sparrows on cup plant. Hummingbird, soldier beetles and bumblebees feeding on prairie dock. Aug 17, 2021, Schulenberg Prairie, 82 degrees, partly cloudy and humid, B.auricomus busy pollinating gentians- can muscle its way inside closed ones. B.impatiens also! Notes by beetle- wedge-shaped beetle mimics wasp, female lays eggs on buds, larvae parasitize ground bees, male lives one day, female has a short life. I saw the female and painted from my photos.

Something I will never stop talking about is how when you take away color and pattern hairy and downy woodpeckers are actually SUCH different birds #birdwatching
