It's #ArtistOnTwitter is it? Right, well I'm Ben and I draw animals.

It's felt like ages since I've worked on a new painting but here's my current #paleoart WIP. Tyrannosaurus decapitates a Triceratops carcass by tugging on its frill; terrible, terrible carnage 100% inspired by genuine science.

More #Halloween-inspired spooky and gory #paleoart, because why the heck not? Presenting Atopo-"Fog Horn"-dentatus, Tyranno-"Voorhees"-saurus, Zu-"who ya gonna call?"-ul, and Lemmy-"historic palaeoart was metal enough, no ghosts needed"-suchus.

My Twitter following is in flux as the number of new followers is balanced by those leaving. For the record - and having considered it a lot - I'm not leaving. This remains a place where there's a lot of good stuff, and it has functionality that I don't see on other sites.

Hate to keep going on about this - sorry - but I'm very happy with my new #AncientSeaReptiles book, out now from Natural History Museum. Has taken decades of pitching, planning and asking to make this book happen. SO PLEASED with the tons of excellent art we pulled together, a thread...

Several images in the book are by the UK's premiere palaeoartist Bob Nicholls @Paleocreations ... #palaeoart #paleoart #books #AncientSeaReptiles

I'm especially happy to include several images by Brian Choo, showing #Triassic marine scenes... #paleoart #palaeoart #books #AncientSeaReptiles

Also included are images by Julius Csotonyi, Mark Witton Mark Witton ... #paleoart #palaeoart #books #AncientSeaReptiles

.... and several images by the amazing (and gosh darn prolific) Gabriel Ugueto Gabriel N. U. #paleoart #palaeoart #books #AncientSeaReptiles

Finally, #AncientSeaReptiles includes art from 'rising stars' in the #palaeoart world: young people doing amazing work, and who we'll see a lot more of in coming years. They include Joschua Knüppe and Tosha, plus the cover art is by the excellent H.J #books

m@d#u🐦🦕🦖 Natural History Museum Thanks so much. You are correct: _years_ of trying to get this off the ground!

Aaaand…done 👍🏽 Darren Naish @Paleocreations Gabriel N. U.

You are, of course, curious about #caecilians. Here's a primer on these fascinating and bizarre #amphibians... tetzoo.com/blog/2022/10/2… #TetZoo #naturalhistory #animals

Ancient Sea Reptiles is out today, written by Darren Naish. My old Pliosaurus painting is on the cover of the Smithsonian edition. #PalaeoArt #PaleoArt #SciArt

Photosynthesis involves manipulation of quantum physics to generate energy. Butterflies diffract light through nanostructures to create iridescence. Porpoises can direct sonar beams through anatomy. The verdict is in. Biology > Physics x.com/blackphysicist…
