    Not For Sale

    I was fascinated with the idea that nobody really knew what a Dunkleosteus looked like because the only part of this prehistoric creature to have fossilized is its scull.

    The actual process of reconstructing this prehistoric creature required taking a trip to the museum to study its remains, and studying reconstructions by other artists/scientist to get a better idea of what it must have looked like.  More info about the animal can be found @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkleosteus

    This painting is not for sale due to the fact that my engagement ring was fashioned from this picture.

  • Diplomystus

    diplomystus

    This is my reconstruction of an extinct fish called the Diplomystus. This fish lived during the Eocene period (roughly 40 million years ago) and is the distant relative to the modern day herring…

    mmmmmm, delicious herring…
