For #FossilFriday, a fashionably late post of my Musango matusadonaensis #paleoart, the first depiction of this newly-named Zimbabwean sauropodomorph. Commissioned by @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social of @nhm-london.bsky.social, Musango is known from just enough of a skeleton to attempt a reconstruction.

It's #WorldLionDay, so here's some #paleoart of cave lions, Panthera spelaea, from my upcoming book, "The Colors of Dinosaurs and the Prehistoric World". P. spelaea is among the Ice Age megafauna we have colour data for, although it's not easy to interpret. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

This #paleoart of #Pteranodon standing on a wave-crashed rock seems to be a favourite for some, judging by steady print sales over the last 10 years. I recall it coming together quickly, probably because I did it for my own enjoyment and fully engaged with my impulses towards romantic art.
