And so the art thread was born (feel free to submit better ideas for names).

Post either:

-your own art
-famous art that you like (please do your best to credit the artist who made thepiece)
or just chat about your favourite palaeontology artists.

I think I'll put forward for your consideration one of my favourite current palae artists, Luis V Rey. He has become one of the most prominent artists of dinosaurs in recent years and his works decorate many books.
His colourful and dynamic style is easy to spot. They really look like action packed snapshots of a long gone world.

Some of my favourites:

Some Utahraptors don't get it all their own way when wrangling with an Astrodon:

A pair of carcharodontosaurines ambush a juvenille titanosaur:

Therizinosaurus grabs a bite:

Gigantoraptors defend their babies from a marauding Alectrosaurus:

Only encountered this Luis V. Rey picture today:

I also taught this was incredibly cool. Really puts things into perspective:

[pedant] eating broadleaves, oak by the look of it and is that grass at his feet? A bit out of place. [/pedant]:D Great pictures and idea for thread. Amazing that the victorian artist put so much movement into the creatures in the first pic.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Article on a recent dinosaur art exhibition by William Stout:
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/apr/25/jurassic-art/

Check out his prehistoric gallery on his official website.

Here' a sample:

(probably could have used that one for my Quinkana article..)

Loads more really cool murals here:

Knew it!

Can you check your Kosmoceratops vs Teratophoneus again? Not loading up for me..

Great pics all 'round. Love the dino made of dinos.

edit: actually, your other pic of Teratophoneus aint loading either

If you have any pics of anything non palaeontology related, feel free to post them in the off topic thread.

That is no lie. I have reference books with less detailed pictures. The Chasmosaurus really stands out.

The picture of Pristichampsus. It seems to show it has bitten his vital bits off.

I'll get me coat:o

By the way you could make moneyout of your talent (which is better than this guys anyway)

Could be a good money spinner as a sideline if you can get them published.
