Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs: Vintage Dinosaur Art: The Superbook of Dinosaurs

https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/05/vintage-dinosaur-art-superbook-of.html

Saturday, May 9, 2015. Vintage Dinosaur Art: The Superbook of Dinosaurs. Above Hopelessly outdated as it now is, his work still has a palpable solidity and 'reality' about it, and certainly left a great impression on many childhood dinosaur enthusiasts. Plus, I can't help but feel that more people should try giving Tyrannosaurus. Glassy black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. Particularly in terms of how the palaeoenvironment in the latter is far more richly realised. Onwards to the Triassic, and back to Bernard...

Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Which Mammoth is Mopey Character are You? We're now two weeks from the end of the Mammoth is Mopey. I've posted about here a few times and tweeted about prolifically.

They're scientifically proven to be the number one way to come to self-knowledge in the hustle and bustle of this digital world. No hallucinogens, fasting, or pilgrimage required!

Pteroformer: The Fossil Record Throws A Curveball: Yi qi

http://pteroformer.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-fossil-record-throws-curveball-yi-qi.html

Blogged thoughts of a palaeoillustrator. Friday, 1 May 2015. The Fossil Record Throws A Curveball: Yi qi. Those crazy, crazy theropods. If there's one thing palaeontology has showed us about dinosaurs, it's that you shouldn't get used to their popular reconstructions because, sooner or later, something will turn up that'll really screw with your mind. And it's not like these events are necessarily rare; Deinocheirus. Got make-overs in the last couple of years, and they're both pretty high-profile. Where ...

Pteroformer: January 2015

http://pteroformer.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Blogged thoughts of a palaeoillustrator. Thursday, 22 January 2015. WIN STUFF At Pteroformer - BAM Greetings Cards. It's January and you lot in the Northern Hemisphere are all feeling low and depleted. So I've been to the bank, rearranged funds and borrowed some cash to bring you this blog's first ever competition. Now, the car I could afford on this blog's budget wasn't really worth towing home to photograph, so I've decided on something a little less corroded and a lot less expensive. Email your answer...

Pteroformer: Learn To Let Go: The Ever-Changing Look Of Dinosaurs

http://pteroformer.blogspot.com/2014/12/learn-to-let-go-ever-changing-look-of.html

Blogged thoughts of a palaeoillustrator. Tuesday, 16 December 2014. Learn To Let Go: The Ever-Changing Look Of Dinosaurs. Few people would argue that 2014 has been anything other than a cracking year for palaeontology. More specifically, dinosaur fans got to open their Christmas presents early, with the release of new reconstructions of Deinocheirus. Is a theropod and theropods are traditionally murderers. Enormous heads full of lots of teeth, which themselves are always compared to steak knives - we...

Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs: Review: Prehistoric Predators

https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/05/review-prehistoric-predators.html

Friday, May 15, 2015. Two years ago, after the director of Jurassic World. Confirmed that the movie would not feature feathered Velociraptors. John Conway wrote a brief but influential blog post about the effects of what he called Awesomebro culture. On perceptions of nature and, specifically, palaeontology. While pitched at a popular audience, Prehistoric Predators. Newly published by Cider Mill Press. And written by Brian Switek. And The Paleoart of Julius Csotonyi. Are decked out with feathers and fil...

The Art of Joshua Cotton: May 2015

http://joshcotton.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 30, 2015. Wishful thinking: feathered dinos in Jurassic World. Ok, admittedly the raptors from the first Jurassic Park were cool. They were cool beyond reason. And I wouldn't change the 1993 film (though I would be interested to see a remastered feathery edition .). You've probably heard by now that the raptors of that film are now outdated, and that many scientists and dinosaur aficionados are upset that the look is not being changed for next month's Jurassic World. In Northeastern China, ...

Pteroformer: New Year Blues Fix: Skulls, Papercraft and Aquilops

http://pteroformer.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-year-blues-fix-skulls-and-papercraft.html

Blogged thoughts of a palaeoillustrator. Monday, 5 January 2015. New Year Blues Fix: Skulls, Papercraft and Aquilops. Those wonderful chaps at Sauropod Vertebra Picture Of The Week. Have made available a papercraft skull pattern for Aquilops. Partially trimmed skull pattern. (© Matt Wedel). I used regular PVA as I didn't want any visible adhesives (i.e., tape) and it's pretty strong and easy to handle. All-in-all, it took about 90 minutes to complete. Two files are available at SV-POW! And a larger one.
