Please say hello to Austronaga, an aquatic trachelosaurid from Triassic Asia. In a new OA paper published yesterday in Science Advances, Dr. Wei Wang , @stephanspiekman.bsky.social and colleagues presented a description of a COMPLETE Austronaga #paleoart #sciart

This Thursday’s episode of Surviving Earth dealt with GABI (the Great American Biotic Interchange). I was entrusted with designing several animals including the gigantic ground sloth Eremotherium eomigrans. I am really fond of ground sloths and I love reconstructing them! #paleoart #SurvivungEarth

Let me introduce you to Tametara mirim, a basal Cretaceous snake from South America that was likely fossorial. It is known from a beautifully preserved and articulated specimen that includes a skull! If you know anything about snake fossils you will know that is VERY rare #snakes #paleoart

So, I found this huge Northern Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus) this morning during my morning hike and it was blocking my path out the pond area. It didn’t want to move and it was not happy with me 😅 #reptiles #snakes

Last night’s episode of Surviving Earth dealt with the Ordovician extinction and its aftermath. For this episode I was entrusted to create the concept design for Endoceras 9as you can see here), Telephina (the swimming trilobite) and Nerepisacanthus (the Silurian fish) #paleoart #SurvivingEarth

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to visit the Whiteside Museum of Natural History and observe the AMAZING collection of Permian fossils they have that includes beautiful Dimetrodon and Diplocaulus individuals #Dimetrodon #Diplocaulus

I could not be happier of how my concept designs got translated into 3D models by the talented artists at MilkVFX. Here are three more animals that I designed for last week’s episode of Surviving Earth: Dimetrodon, Diplocaulus and Dendromaia #SurvivingEarth #paleoart #sciart

Last night episode of Surviving Earth showcased Spinosaurus! I was entrusted with doing the concept design for both the adult and hatchlings. It was so fulfilling to see my reconstruction moving around! Who else wants to have a bunch of Spinosaurus chicks following them around? #paleoart #sciart

The third episode of Surviving Earth is now available in PEACOCK. For this episode I was entrusted with creating the concept design of just 3 species: The small mammal Unnuakomys and the dinosaurs Asterioris and Saurornitholestes. I’ll post some concept art soon Stay tuned 😊

Tonight there will be another NEW episode of Surviving Earth, but before that let me show you the concept design of one of the cranky Hyperodapedon from last week’s episode. I love rhynchosaurs, so it was a dream come true when I was asked to create this creature design #paleoart #sciart

One of my favorite concept designs to do for Surviving Earth was Zupaysaurus. I was entrusted with designing both the adult and juveniles. It was special for me to see this design come to life #SurvivingEarth #paleoart #sciart

I have been very busy working in many new projects. One of them is a commission that deals with Pleistocene fauna, so I have been sketching and revisiting some old concept sketches of many animals from that time period #paleoart #sciart #pleistocene

As the time to talk #SurvivingEarth nears, I wanted to say that I’m extremely proud to have been part of the amazing team who worked on it I was commissioned by Tim Haines (producer of Walking with Dinosaurs) and his team, to create the concept art for MANY animals for this project! #paleoart
