I'm finally able to show my new cover artwork for the 10th anniversary 4th edition of DINOSAURS, HOW THEY LIVED AND EVOLVED, by Darren Naish and Paul Barrett (published by the Natural History Museum, London). The sauropod is the wonderful Amargasaurus. It isn't available yet, but it will be soon!

Today's marine reptile artwork is a 2008 digital artwork of Corosaurus.

Here are some crops from "The Twisted Feast," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of fossil species from the museum and the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay: a bait ball of Thrissops, Grendelius and Nannopterygius ichthyosaurs, diving Rhamphorhynchus pterosaurs, Caturus, Gyrodus, and Pachycormus fishes, a Dakosaurus croc, and three Kimmerosaurus.

Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004.

I'm sticking with the marine reptile painting theme for Fossil Friday. Here's an old acrylic painting of Liopleurodon and Metriorhynchus, called "Killing Breach".

Today's marine reptile artwork features Platecarpus hunting Enchodus. It was commissioned by the The Children's Museum of Indianapolis in 2021.

THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, written by Dr Dean Lomax - Palaeontologist and illustrated by Bob Nicholls Art, is OUT NOW!

The first mural I ever painted (1997) was at the Dudley Museum & Art Gallery, for a temporary exhibition of marine Jurassic fossils. Part of the mural featured a pliosaur; I reworked the pliosaur pose in my 2009 "Leviathan" painting for The Etches Collection.
