I finally made a start with a project I was planning for a while now: drawing the Kem Kem dinosaur fauna! First I will draw each dinosaur individually and then I will combine them all in one big landscape. As you can probably tell, I am not aiming for 100% scientific accurary. I do however try to take into account what I know about these animals and what is known about their skeletons. This is the first one and probably the most iconic of them all: Spinosaurus. I will give regular updates here about this fun project, so stay tuned!

Just a quick digital sketch of a freshly hatched oviraptorid that I made today. Had to finish it on my last day of my current job, amongst many other things, so it is what it is. I have some spare time before my next job, so I am hoping to do some more serious paleoart in the next weeks!

I recently got started sculpting digitally, and with this new hammer I am now excitedly looking for nails! My thoughts turned to some of my microfossils, specifically some of my really old shark teeth. Microfossils in general are difficult to appreciate without a microscope, so I figured it would be fun to sculpt a few. My first subject is a Devonian Phoebodont shark tooth that I thought looked neat enough. Besides being some of the oldest teeth I know of (380-390 Ma), they look very different from the teeth of modern sharks (except for those of the frilled shark). Most of the teeth are broken, but I luckily had enough fragments to get a good picture of what a complete tooth looked like. With these fossils as my reference I quickly squashed and shaped a chunk of virtual clay into a passable shark tooth: And thanks to the wonders of today's technology, I can actually share that model directly in an interactive manner: I didn't do so much work on the bottom since I intended to 3D print it. And after warming up the printer and waiting for 3 hours... I was able to do all this in an evening. I'm hoping to do more possibly throughout the Summer as my time and inspiration allow. There are a couple of other sharks I had in mind, but I'm open to crowd-sourcing suggestions/requests.

I recently got an Apple Pencil and Procreate for my Birthday and have gotten the hang of digital art. Here are some of my depictions of prehistoric life with the use of digital art. I will continue to update this topic. Acrocanthosaurus atokensis Labocania anomala “Alamotyrannus brinkmani” Dinosaur Park Formation Daspletosaurus sp. Uintatherium sp. Juvenile Teratophoneus cf.
