When you're trying to figure out the position of the legs, you end up with some happy stomps. Some decisions are real hard.

Sorry this isn't another Etch A Sketch doodle, you people really liked that. I'm still plugging away at the State/Provincial dinosaurs/fossils. The plan is to also release stickers and well as 8x10 prints of each of the illustrations without the state border.

So, 45 years old, what did you do on your birthday? I played with Lego. It keeps me young and joyful.

I gift you all this doodle I did a few years ago that's just been sitting on my computer. Happy spooky season!! (excuse the questionable skeletal anatomy, I did it without reference.)

An ink doodle of a ghost and a skeleton looking sad and despondent from being left outside in the cold as fall sets in. It reads" If you're cold, they're cold. Let them inside".

I’ve only had subtle beaks occasionally for a couple years but always blended in, just to feel it out. I’ve been waiting for this debate to get some more evidence one way or the other before committing.

I'm into the nitty gritty (fun but frustrating (how do I art?)) parts of the state dinosaur illustrations. Sometimes they go in directions I didn't expect. It always takes me about a week to get back in the zone after I have a convention. Hence doing fewer conventions next year. I want to focus.

Emma, why are you pushing the sales of all of these particular prints and stickers? Let us go back in time to past Emma who had no idea how many prints or stickers to orders for her first ECCC in 2021. She was a naive, silly creature. These stacks, bins, and boxes represent her past mistakes...

A photo of a stack of large stegosaurus pride stickers and bins filled to the brim with prints of the same designs. So, so many prints and stickers that she would like to sell to you!

A photo of a stack of 5x7 and 11x17 prints, some still in boxes representing my naivety of what folks want on their walls and in their homes. I am trying to atone for past mistakes, help me atone, I beg of you. BUY MY OLD PRINTS!!!!

I just had a typo pointed out to me on the Anzu illustration. I misspelled "Formation" and at no point did I notice. If you bought a print or sticker from me of the Anzu, let me know, and I'll send you a replacement. I also corrected the file on my Threadless store. My apologies.

So many projects to wrap up by November. The state dino project is moving ahead in little spurts. I use them as warmup and cool down projects because they're easy to poke at here and there. I didn't mean to steal the coloration from the Creative Beasts' Acrocanthosaurus, but they sure crept in.

I've loved Centrosaurus since seeing Phil Tippet's Prehistoric Beast It was the first dinosaur I ever sculpted with Sculpey, way back in 2001. I lovingly named it Mono, because I had mono at the time I made it, and Monoclonius is a dubious genus likely the same a Centrosaurus.

I assure you that flaws in anatomy, perspective, light and shadow are entirely my own. Sometimes because I'm tired, sometimes because I'm sick of a piece, sometimes time, and sometimes because of sheer oversight. A lot of the time because I didn't sketch enough beforehand. But all 100% human.

Long overdue update of my business cards. I finally dropped sculptor from my description and put paleoart on there instead. I feel that with paleoart being 95% of what I do, and the complete lack of sculpture for the past decade, it was probably time. I left "comics" on there for now.

The day before ECCC 2023 I was in a head on collision that totaled my car. (Not my fault) I was on my way back home from picking up prints for the show. The prints were very damaged and had to be reprinted. I did the show with, I presume, a concussion. Which in hindsight was probably really dumb.
