My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

I'm continuing with the acrylic paintings I created in 2000. This one is Devourer of Giants, it features three Otodus megalodon, which have been attracted to some dead and bloated Anancus. The Anancus were drowned by a flash flood and carried out to sea.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Here is another acrylic painting I created in 2000 to expand my portfolio. It features Allosaurus, through the dried remains of a dead sauropod. In this version I did a bit of old Photoshop tweaking.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

I only had a few commissions in my fist year as a freelance artist. I spent most of my time photocopying artworks & posting them to universities & museums.

This painting, commissioned in 1999, features Liopleurodon & Metriorhynchus.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

This painting is the first artwork I was paid for (1999). It depicts two T.rex approaching Super rex, a name given to some large remains. Behind is the Chicxulub asteroid.

I needed to teach myself how to paint & I had a long way to go!
