My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax & published by Columbia University Press) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "A whisper at twilight" shows an eclipse of moths migrating across the North Sea.

My final Canadian 🇨🇦 province #linocut is my home #province #Ontario along with its symbols, the common #loon and trillium. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, black, green and yellow, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

Ontario is where I was born and where I now call home. Growing up on Lake Ontario I was always aware of our region being defined by the Great Lakes, 🧵1/2

For #PencilDay, I sketched this caiman peeking out of the water! 🐊 Used my Pentel Graphgear 1000 pencils, mostly a .5mm with 4B lead. Getting the reflection right was a fun challenge! Fun fact: Caimans can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes before surfacing! #sciart #artyear

Zooming into my 2022 Nature cover, featuring Tupandactylus. This painting was commissioned by Cincotta et al for their paper describing multiple feathers and their colours from a pterosaur fossil!

My next Canadian 🇨🇦 province is Manitoba with its provincial animal the bison and flower the crocus (Anemone patens) in this linocut. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, pale violet, umber and brown, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

It's no mystery how the bison could symbolize this prairie province. Manitoba is one of the few places where 🧵1/n

Abdomen is done, mostly. The rest of the "space" is mostly digestive glands (I think?), which I'll add once I see how this works printed/painted.

The weird tabs on the book lungs/spinnerets, are openings for me to put paint into the cavities. We'll see how it works!
