mikeymig Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Original artwork by Eryks Arts on display with my Upper Devonian cephalopods of New York. The canvas is a slab of Devonian slate covered in Leiorhynchus brachiopods from Ontario County NY. Thanks, Mikey Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Very Impressive. It highlights and expands the impregnated fossils. Thanks for sharing.

Seneca20 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 When you showed me a photo of this on the phone I thought it was okay. But when you brought it home I was very impressed. It looks so much better in person. Looks like its underwater!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 This is an imaginative and powerful visualization! I would LOVE to see something like this in natural history museum displays; it really adds relevance.

Fossil Claw Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 You have inspired me to ask an artist friend to do a wooly mammoth or rhino on a flag stone or piece if slate. Hopefully he agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymig Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Thank you everyone for the positive comments. Paula (Seneca13) is right, its much more impressive in person. If you would like one of your own or something similar I can get you in contact with the artist. Hes a a friend and collecting buddy of mine who lives here in Rochester NY. Just message me and I can send you the info. Thanks, Mikey Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Claw Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Mikey, if my artist friend isn't interested in doing a wooly rhino for me, I will PM for contact info. If he is interested, I will post what every he creates for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I am visualizing a Green River bird track plate, with a painted scene of shorebirds flying over the lakeshore in the background...

Just let me know Auspex. We can arrange this my friend. Mikey Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Claw Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Anyone know where I might find a stone plate 10 by 15 or so from a location where either wooly rhinos or wooly mommoth are found. My artist friend is in. I'd like to get it done on a stone from where they are found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymig Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I don't think that's possible claw. However, I do have a large piece of mammoth skull that would work. It has a flat surface that is around 10" x 10" as a canvas. Let me know and I will send you a pic.

Fossil Claw Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Mikey, Please PM a picture. I love the idea. I do worry that using a skull for the "canvas" might quick make the total cost of the project go way higher then I was planning. thanks, Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Claw Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Still thinking about having a mammoth and wooly rhino scene done. Who thinks I would be totally nuts to have it painted on the side of this Woolly Rhino Jaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Well, if I had such a rhino jaw. I wouldn't paint it. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Still thinking about having a mammoth and wooly rhino scene done. Who thinks I would be totally nuts to have it painted on the side of this Woolly Rhino Jaw? A small painting as a backdrop to your fossil would tell the story better, in my opinion. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Claw Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I am only considering it because I have 2 and this one I got cheap because it got damaged in shipping and I had to repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I don't know what I'd do... On one hand, it sounds like a pretty cool display idea, especially since it's a duplicate. On the other, there is the sense of "violating the sanctity". I would probably talk myself into it by using easily removable paint; "reversible" is an established watch-word in paleontology.

Good idea. I have been going back and forth on the idea since mid-summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
