A Haast's #eagle swoops down to give a #moa a lethal head scratch - a commission for one of my patrons. Also, #InsertAnInvert - can you find the little invertebrate? PS: feel free to caption this. Show me what y'all got! #art #paleoart #sciart #birds #newzealand

The time finally came for me to tackle the Devil's Duck, aka #Deinocheirus. Check out the convoluted history of this creature's discovery in @EonsShow's latest episode! #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs

#Beardogs weren't #bears nor #dogs, but relatives of both that were found across most of the world for nearly 40 million years. While some were lithe and agile like dogs, others amped up their bearness by being massive and stocky. #sciart #paleoart

Here's my long overdue graph on the #evolution of terror #birds! These giant seriema relatives were the top predators in S. America for millions of years after the K-Pg extinction, and 1 species (Titanis) against all odds reached the US before disappearing #sciart #paleoart

It's #DinosaurDay and here's a happy one, Linheraptor - a relative of #Velociraptor. #paleoart #sciart

For today's #tbt a very, very weird animal. #Wiwaxia was a strange #invertebrate covered in scales and spines that lived during the #cambrian period. Recent research suggests it may have been a very early #mollusk 🐌#paleoart

Time for more extinct south american #megafauna! Xenarthrans (#armadillos, #sloths and #anteaters) were once much more diverse, with several kinds of small to huge armadillos coexisisting with giant ground sloths and other strange mammals until a few thousand years ago #paleoart

Another illustration I did a while ago also featuring recently extinct #megafauna from South America, this time #Brazil. Only the alligators remain. It's amazing (and a little sad) how much our fauna changed in so little time. #paleoart

I began working on these concept illustrations a while ago, for a very cool project set in the #pampas region of #Argentina. Consider it a teaser; hopefully the project will be made public soon. #paleoart #megafauna #iceage

For today's #tbt probably one of the most atmospheric paintings I've ever done: a tiny #spider and a giant #pterosaur each minding their own business, connected yet oblivious to each other #paleoart
