In what is now Austin, a Tylosaur cruises past Pilot Knob Volcano, a volcanic island in the Western Interior Seaway. A shoal of Hoplopteryx follow as it passes by a reef along the volcano’s flanks, and the ash cloud is set ablaze by the light of a Cretaceous sunset. #paleoart

Beneath the silent, gnarled lichens that rise monumental over the mosses and Cooksonia, the heavens are immaculate. #paleoart #Prototaxites #nightphotography

Hey y'all, here's a new art piece for an upcoming outreach video inspired by my undergrad geology field camp about the Entrada Sandstone! Want to know how my time in the field informed my take on what this landscape might've looked like? Stay tuned to find out! #geology #paleoart

Just updated my Redbubble page with new designs, including some #wildlife photography! Get a very cute little Grey Fox or pronghorn on a hat or sticker, or if #paleoart is more your style, get a print of the bizarre Aquilolamna shark! redbubble.com/people/Expedit…

110 million years ago, Texas was a land where titans walked. Here we can see a small group of enormous #Sauroposeidon in the process of laying down trails of footprints in the mud along the Cretaceous Gulf of Mexico.🦕🦕👣#tracefossils #dinosaurs #paleoart

Finished up this piece I started yesterday on #Paleostream of a pair of #Apatosaurus moving across a fern prairie under an oncoming storm. Inspired by shots in Night on Earth with neat colors resulting from night optimized cameras they used. #paleoart #ThunderLizards #Sauropods

Quick piece of the chinese dinosaur, #Caihong. Feathers of this animal preserve platelet-like melanosomes similar to those found in trumpeters and hummingbirds, suggesting that they were flashy, iridescent display structures much like modern birds! #BirdsareDinosaurs #paleoart

A lone Australovenator takes in the misty midnight air of the oncoming winter in Cretaceous Southern Australia. Though ice is uncommon, the stark chill of long winter night still slowly wraps it’s grip around the Southern forests. #Paleoart #WinterIsComing

Colossal beings duke it out under a darkening ancient sky, while a feathered hunter observes from across the fern prairie...I've been slowly learning how digital art works, so here's my first complete piece of digital #paleoart! Hopefully more to come! #Sauroposeidon #Deinonychus
