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.

Part 4 of my Newfoundland Cambrian diorama build, from 2005. Building something this big and complicated then shipping it across the Atlantic was a daunting challenge – but it worked!

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.

@gay_ornithischians It's from 2004, so you will be lucky to find a second hand copy!

Another acrylic painting from 2004. It was commissioned by a publisher for a book called "Being There," but it was never published (as far as I know!). It features Stegosaurus and Diplodocus.

In 2004 I built my first large model, a life-size juvenile Iguanodon for Lancashire Museum. It was a near vertical learning curve but in the end, despite some anatomical mistakes, the painted cast was good quality.

into 2004. I always prioritised palaeo-work, but I was never going to pass on an opportunity to illustrate 5 DUNE covers, by Frank Herbert. Crazy thing was, the publisher accepted & published my colour draft drawings & paid me in full anyway!
