It's the worst. I hate everything about it.

This is honestly great. I think my problem is I'm trying to be all serious and professional about it, and that's just not me. I can remain professional for about 2 minutes before turning into a flailing chaos muppet and ranting about Farscape or something equally obscure to most people.

It's been awhile since I've had to write anything like an artist statement, which I'm quite happy about, but I've been tasked with writing a two sentence bio and I've been staring at a muddle of words most of the day and I'm on the verge of an existential crisis. Mondays, am I right?

Every time I make cinnamon rolls from scratch it always feels like the most sinful thing I’ve ever done. Eating them feels on par with smoking or drug use. Like I’m toying with an addiction and taking years off of my life expectancy. I love them.

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".

Folks have been asking for it, and I'm happy to oblige. I've printed the panoramic prints on smaller paper!!! The smaller size is 8.5 x 25" compared to the 13 x 38" they've only been available in until now. I'll have them at shows now going forward and in my store: www.emmalerae.com/store.html
A photo of two panoramic prints. 

In the top one a group of 4 adult Allosaurus work together to take down a full grown Diplodocus. Dust is being kicked up into the air from the hunt and two juveniles lag behind distracted by some dragonflies.

In the bottom one an adult Spinosaurus sleeps on a fallen log as dawn breaks in Cretaceous Africa. Sitting on the head of the adult is a baby Spinosaurus watching a tapejarid decide to land on the log right in front of them.

It’s still up for debate. It’ll go back and forth until there’s more evidence either for or against. Keratin doesn’t fossilize all that well and most skulls show obvious attachment areas for keratinous beaks. Sauropods don’t have that. Think more thick hard lip, not a parrot-like beak.

Emma LeRae @emmalerae.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I was viewing it less as a functional beak and more of a protective keratin face sheath at the front of the face.

Emma LeRae @emmalerae.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I mean, the debate is still out, so I just try it out on occasion to see how I feel, because it’s a weird visual shift to their faces.

My weak flesh is not made for that. “Long live the new flesh!”

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’ve subtly been putting beaks on my sauropods when I remember for awhile now (when I remember). It’s nice to see some more papers coming out adding for evidence that it was likely a thing. preprints.arphahub.com/articles.php...

I always hope for the best, but rarely am I completely functional. And it always takes me about a week to really get back in the swing of things.

My food is constantly in threat of being be stolen by my birds, or the birds are bringing me random objects for trade for my food, sometimes they tag team to distract me so one of them can sneak through my defenses and grab a morsel. Clever little dinosaurs.

Don’t encourage this behavior! People are going to appear magically no matter what you eat. I go to a grocery store and buy bagels, bananas, grapes, and trail mix when I do shows alone. (As well as my Nerd flask) It’s at least semi nutritional. Minus the Nerds.

I need to teach you better con nutrition.

Emma LeRae @emmalerae.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Not anymore. I’m saddened by the lack of flavor options in modern times. And I find nerd clusters to be sacrilege.

Emma LeRae @emmalerae.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
This is why the Nerd flask is great. They come out slowly so I pace myself, if I ate them out of the box they would be gone in 5-10 minutes.

Snaggletooth is headed for the @burkemuseum.bsky.social giftshop and I wanted to make she she was dressed up real nice and give credit where credit is due for @restingdinoface.bsky.social and @korybing.bsky.social for their work on the book Tyrant Lizard Queen. So I make some snazzy backers.
