In 2007 I painted a mural on the ceiling of an exhibition room at Pools Cavern Visitor Centre, Derbyshire, UK. It was a Carboniferous scene, partly depicting life on land but mostly marine and freshwater species. It was fun but it demanded long hours and a few nights sleep in my car.
In 2007, Roar Publishing planned a book about evolution. I created some artworks for it but the book was shelved. Here is my draft drawing for the Ordovician spread that never happened...
The cover of the 2007 book DINOSAUR, published by Roar, wasn't the original concept. Here is the original art, there would have been a plastic hologram eyeball (not shown here).
In 2005 I was one of multiple artists who created hundreds of illustrations for Dougal Dixon's THE WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DINOSAURS & PREHISTORIC CREATURES, published by Anness and Lorenz Book.

We are still in 2004. Here is a coloured sketch of a megaraptorid walking into the ribcage of an eaten titanosaur. The predator is reflected in a pond of blood. Oh, and I know the sickle-claw shouldn't be there (I was making quite a few mistakes back in 2004).
In 2004 I played with a book idea but never took it to a publisher. I did 100 draft drawings for the proposal (never completed), here is just one more: Spinosaurus (old anatomical proportions) eating a Carcharodontosaurus.

I illustrated several books in 2004 (via the Beehive Illustration Agency). One of them was PLANET DINOSAUR, by Steve Parker and Miles Kelly Publishing. I will post the five main paintings (acrylic on card) throughout today. Last is the Late Cretaceous.
