I am an artist. I have a lot of art to post because of the aforementioned being an artist, and I will be doing that. Sometimes I paint dinosaurs, other times I don't. I always paint something though.
My work is not shocking, so I generally won't content-warn (except for this warning).

Hi Tooters, I am an artist on the internet, and I paint #dinosaurs a lot, so you should expect that. I also paint and draw other things, like trains, aliens, robots, gods, ugly old people, people with long shoes, long cats, and landscapes.
I have created two books with Memo Kosemen & Darren Naish: All Yesterdays, about how we portray dinosaurs, and Cryptozoologicon, about mystery animals.

These #paintings are the first in a series, where I am attempting to avoid deliberately posing and placing the animals in a composition. Usually we compose animals in scenes for aesthetic reasons, and avoid confessing angles or poses. Obscuring parts (particularly heads and eyes) is nearly always avoided. What if I try to purge those rules? Will a new sort of naturalism develop?

A new #painting, Duckface. On Instagram, nobody knows you're a pile of ducks.
This is a series of speed-paintings of sauropod herds. My website has the list:

Less is bore, and enough with the minimalist oppression! https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/graphic-designers-have-always-loved-minimalism-but-at-what-cost/
Another #vector drawing, and another God: the great Saddleman stands at the beginning of the world and drips life into the wind.

@me @mike A modern example would be the stained glass windows of the Strategic Air Command Memorial Chapel at Offut airbase (a USA airbase), detailed in this thread by an anthropologist who studies nuclear weapons culture:

Whether it's from Constantine or SAC, it's primarily about the military advantages of combining religion and war.
This is a #vector drawing inspired by Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City, which is gone now.
This is the tallest thing I've ever drawn.
A new #painting, a portrait of Monsieur Chatadipeux.
On the internet, I see a lot of people with fox heads and fox tails. I prefer foxes with people heads and people tails.
