People telling me that having my livelihood eroded by AI is *my* fault for making art my career not my hobby is…. Well, it’s certainly something.

I couldn’t let the announcement of a new Tyrannosaurid pass without illustrating it. So here’s my take on the new kid on the block: Tromerosaurus solumons.

A digital illustration shows a large bipedal dinosaur - a relative of T.rex walking amongst tall trees in a sunlit forest.

Three books.
One artist.
No AI.
(And a whole load of dinosaurs).

Today's four random pieces of palaeoart:

Bernard Long's Moeritherium, Peter Zallinger's Brontosaurus, @himarudolf.bsky.social's Carboniferous forest, and @dragonsofwales.bsky.social's Pteranodon!

A grey, bare-skinned ungulate with a tapir-like build and rounded, tusked face emerges onto a sandy shore, backed by a crescent moon and starry sky.Two stiff-limbed, almost statue-like sauropods in an orange-tinted evening scene. One stands beside a lake, tail dragging along the ground. In the foreground, cutting across the image, is the neck and head of another Brontosaurus, mouth gaping slightly as if reaching for some unseen leafy morsel. Scattered palms and a thick layer of ferns decorate the shore, while horsetails poke above the waters of the lake.A lush tangle of impressionistic greenery painted with square, blocky, almost pixelated brushstrokes surrounding a still pond. The great trunks of primitive trees stretch out of sight. Amid the understory of horsetails and ferns, the curling tail of a huge blue-grey scorpion arches menacingly. Portrait of a Pteranodon with a long, sweeping, subtly upturned beak and stubby yellow-tinted crest. Its movement throws an arc of water above its leathery black head, while the bare skin of its voluminous neck stretch and fold. The face is covered in a complex blend of bare, bird-like skin and keratinous sheathes, giving it a strangely familiar visage.

I've only just watched the Marco Makes video recapping his adventures at #DinoConUK 2026. Definitely worth a watch if you want an idea of what the event was like ... youtu.be/hGoRbFbzXGM?... Follow @dinoconuk.bsky.social for news on our 2027 event...

Nakima. A 1-hour sketch of an elderly rescue chimp.

Thank you. I haven’t…. At least not yet… 😉

A new portrait of Istiodactylus, an Early Cretaceous pterosaur from the Isle of Wight. Previously thought of as a fish-eater, Isiodactylus was reinterpreted as a vulture-like scavenger in a 2012 study by Mark Witton. Procreate and Photoshop. No AI.

A digital portrait of Istiodactylus - an extinct flying reptile. It is shown who a long, curved orange snout with tightly-spaced blade-like teeth at the tip.

That means so much. Thank you 🥹🙏

For the exact same reason that he NEVER receives proper scrutiny. Our media decided long ago that his ascendancy to the top job is inevitable, and nothing can be allowed to derail the narrative. Chris Mason has probably already pre-recorded his “Farage becomes PM” broadcast.
