Go my Bothriolepis... This year's fish pecan pie! Bothriolepis was a peculiar-looking placoderm from the Devonian period or the Paleozoic. It had two long pointed pectoral fins and silly little eyes on top of its head.

Last year I made a Xiphactinus pecan pie for Thanksgiving. What prehistoric fish should I do this year?

Two Denversaurus meet at sunset. Referenced from a photo I took in Montana this summer.
Denversaurus belongs to the ankylosaurian family nodosauridae. Unlike ankylosauridae, nodosaurids lack a tail club and many have shoulder spikes.

My second SVP meeting! It was an honor meeting all you lovely folks in the UK, seeing old friends, and presenting my fish research (more on that hopefully soon!)

Homotherium labeled skull diagram. I made this for an online vertebrate anatomy illustration class I'm taking right now, where we were assigned to draw a labeled felid skull.

One of the coolest cases of convergent evolution was just published yesterday, so I was inspired to draw them together - Temnodontosaurus trigonodon and Tyto alba.

A small herd of Murrabuttasaurus stop at a river on an early Cretaceous morning. The lead male and one of the females are occupied with mating while the other females are drinking.

My new son. His name is Azhdarchidae gen. et sp. indet. I saw him in a dream once, he was yellow and made of pipe cleaners and felt.

A redraw of Charles R. Knight's Brontosaurus painting I did back in 2021. I love retro dinosaurs despite their inaccuracies - they're very charming.

Tlatolophus and Stegouros inspired by Aztec art. Tlatolophus is a Late Cretaceous hadrosaur discovered in the Mexican Cerro del Pueblo Formation. Stegouros is a Late Cretaceous ankylosaurian discovered in the Chilean Dorotea Formation. I drew these guys back in 2021 when they were first described!
