Not done yet, but after a long break, it was good to get back on the stylus again. What a beast Xiphactinus audax was!

Welcome to Cretaceous Winton, Queensland, Australia!

This illustration was done years ago, but I can finally share it now that the work has been published. Every plant, animal, fungus and topographical feature included in this illustration was based on physical, scientific evidence provided by Drs Tucker, Roberts and Salisbury. The entire image was done with graphite and the original is A2 in size. What a great project to be involved in :-)

“The final version of our study investigating the stratigraphy and palaeoenvironments of mid-Cretaceous vertebrate fossil-bearing localities in the Lower Cretaceous Formation of western Qld is out. Nice one and https://t.co/yRRIEtIFGj”

Re-working an old friend of mine based on some better reference material, courtesy of a prominent palaeontologist. Forgive the placement of the logo - it's just to stop people stealing the image ;-)

Finally finished the spiky, spiky Comura! Was going to put it on a new business card, but I suspect the detail's too fine... Oh well, T-shirts it is!

A little work in progress. A spiky, spiky Comura trilobite that just got fed up waiting for someone to dig it up.

Pen and ink study of a Comura sp. trilobite. Just a practise piece for later... a few adjustments need to be made, but it's not a bad practise run :-)

The finished product. The tree's about 50cm tall and was done using a 0.1 Felt tip pen. Time to rest the eyes now, I think...
