I’m delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit some more Brontomerus artwork.  Once more, as with National Geographic and indeed the original life restoration in the paper, Matt and I had the opportunity to work with the artist, feeding back on an initial draft, to help get the final version as accurate as possible.

Folks.  Just don’t do this.

With our baby’s appearance in National Geographic this week, she’s now been in four mainstream magazines: That’s National Geographic at top left, Macleans next to it; The Scientist at bottom left, and National Geographic Kids next to that.

Last month, over at Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs , David Orr wrote about the dinosaur conflicts he’d like to see, in place of the ubiquitous T . rex -vs.- Triceratops .  Among the fights he wanted to see was: 2. Four strategically placed Incisivosaurus vs. Giraffatitan : Two words: beaver style.

A month ago, I posted an article containing all the examples known to me of that sadly neglected palaeo-art theme, Sauropods Stomping Theropods: Mark Hallet’s Jobaria squishing Afrovenator , Luis Rey’s Astrodon biting/carrying a raptor, Mark Witton’s Camarasaurus grinding juvenile theropods to dust, and of course Francisco Gascó’s and Emily Willoughby’s Brontomerus pieces, both of them showing Bronto

Needless to say, one of the things I love most about Paco’s Brontomerus artwork is that it’s a rare and welcome example of the much neglected Sauropods Stomping Theropods school of palaeo-art. When I reviewed the examples I know of, I was a bit disappointed to find that they number only five.  Here they are, in chronological order.

After a couple of relatively hardcore posts on ilial osteology, we though it would be good to look at something lighter this time.  If you’re interested in dinosaurs, or indeed alive, you will hardly have been able to avoid seeing Francisco Gascó’s glorious life restoration of Brontomerus .

Here’s another dual-purpose post (part 1 is here), wherein I use some of Brian Engh’s cool art to riff on a related topic (with kind permission–thanks, Brian!). Back when he was first planning his awesome Sauroposeidon life restoration, Brian sent these head studies: {.aligncenter .size-full .wp-image-3160 loading=“lazy” attachment-id=“3160” permalink=“http://svpow.com/2010/12/13/pimp-my-pod-2-haids/benghbrachioreconrough1/”

These are happy times for me. Dinosaur rap god and burgeoning paleoartist Brian Engh, AKA The Historian Himself, has finished a new life restoration of Sauroposeidon . Here’s a smallish view, just to give you a taste; for the high resolution awesomeness, check out Brian’s post here.
