A little bit late but Happy World Ocean Day! 🐡🌊🐠
.
This is a little different from my normal prehistoric art but I’ve always had a deep love for ocean life and I’m working on a little personal project in the background which involves this Butterfly Fish (my absolute favourite when I was little) 💙
Ammonite Rock ~ 🐚🦑🦀🪸
.
For years I’ve been curious by all the different ammonite shapes and types, I knew I wanted to create a design that brought them altogether!

The first ammonite is complete for my upcoming big piece

This guy has fluffy moss-like seaweed growing on the shell to help give the impression of age or how slowly it moves!

Attenborosaurus ~ 💚🐟
.
After observing the celebrations throughout the weekend for Sir David’s 100 year birthday, I wanted to commentate it my own way by highlighting my favourite quote of his alongside the plesiosaur named after him 😊

What a special man who has inspired and evoked so much in us

I stopped using term "palaeoartist" to describe myself because it annoyed some white guys in the community who insisted palaeoart cannot be stylized
I won two palaeoart prizes in a row, awarded by the oldest palaeontological society in the world🏅
