I sculpted an entire series of Kaiju Kitties for 100% Soft. Blind box city crushing cuteness. Please look at those little buildings! I can't stand it.

Scavengers Reign (2023) is now available on Netflix (at least, in the US & UK). Please watch this beautiful, weird, frightening, fresh, poetic, fascinating sci-fi masterpiece. We have the power to collectively spawn a Season 2.🖖

Blocking out a biplane in Valence 3D on the iPad for fun. I love having the ability to poly model from my couch. That’s the dream! #valence3d

Today I worked on some beautiful fossil leaves and some crusty old bones. Really old: 225 million years old!

I'm an editor, so a lot of what I do is help people find the right words. One problem even the best writers struggle with is ableist language. We're so pickled in ableism that it can be hard to spot. Here are some examples & solutions, and please share your own 🧵 a thread

Bigfoot is bears!
is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

A fallen Liriodendrites occidentalis, a Cretaceous species related to our extant Tulip Trees (Magnoliaceae), is a rare treat for the relatively small Ceratopsian Turanoceratops, whos' fossils were found at the Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan.

This Christmas I learned silversmithing in order to make this pendant for my wife. It’s a 500-million-year-old trilobite from eastern Washington state that we found on one of our first fossil hunting trips.

One of my favourite stories is a short story I wrote called "Would You Mind Waiting Awhile?". It's happy sad, and personally what I think might be my best artwork. (1/4)

Today is #godzilladay ! It's the 69th anniversary of the original film's release. I got to make an ad for Funko Games' Godzilla board game back in 2020. I didn't have time to make anything from scratch so all the monsters are actually the figurines from the game! 🦖 #godzilla #animation #vfx

The quality of this stock footage is horrible but the subject is cute so it evens out in the end #cat #vfx

A #protip thread for artists about working with commercial clients: When you do client work for ad agencies, design studios, etc it is important to establish PRECISELY what you're providing for the rate. It helps to proceed as if your commercial art clients understand NOTHING about what you do.

How it started and how it went. I normally work on fossilized leaves so this is a change for me. This is a partial femur of a shuvosaurus. A reptile from the Triassic that looked like a dinosaur, but was not a dinosaur! #fossilfriday

Spent a couple hours prepping this partial shuvosaurus femur. It’s coming along nicely

Aurora Didelphis is the first finished piece from my ExtraCT Skullpture project and the first time I’ve used LEDs in my art. This piece is derived from microCT data of a ln opossum skull and lesser engraved acrylic. Visit my Instagram for mesmerizing videos, since they aren’t postable here yet.

There was a pachycephalosaurus skull in the fossil lab today! It was incredibly smooth. I rubbed it for luck
