Must steal back the spotlight ;)

Anyways this piece is done in an unusual medium...scratch art. It's based off of Luis Rey's illustration of a Sinornithosaurus standing over a dead Confuciusornis. I did not trace this...done entirely freehand. I also did the border of vines, complete with exotic flowers, insects, and even an Epidendrosaurus (or Scansoriopteryx, depending on whom you believe), which you can see on the bottom right (click the pic to enlarge). I consider this to be one of my best pieces. B)

What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858

Here's one that I did many years ago. It is Merychyus (Ustatochoerus) profectus, the last of the Oreodonts from a specimen I collected in the Texas Panhandle.

Here's a quick Apatosaurus sketch I did after school one day using the school's art supplies. It took me only around 10 minutes or so, with no references.

A doodle done at work. I was visualizing the quarry as it was in the Upper Mississippian. This is mostly stuff Ive found there. A quick doodle and simple paint with paint.net.
