I think your drawings are amazing, your songs, your animations, everything! It’s great, and I also think you’d be a talented tattoo artist! Your art skills are just beyond comprehension. Just sayin though(:

I want to tell you in person how I think you work is amazing! You are pretty mean with a pencil and paper! I get excited about your work, like a weekend filled with lazer beams!

Wonderful work! Your dinosaurs remind me of some of William Stout and Ricardo Delgado’s art. Thanks for sharing these :)

You are one weird dude. And you should take that as a high compliment :) Your dinosaurs are absolutely amazing! I especially like the imagination behind the brachiosaurs. Your other drawings are (sometimes disturbingly) fascinating, and often remind me of Hayao Miyazaki, which again is definitely a comment. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your website :)

Only rough Jiang Shi sketches for a music video I was storyboarding for Warcloud & The American Poets.

You can see the animatic here –

it’s supposed to be a Jiang shi (“shadowless zombie swordsman” to reference Warcloud’s song Dirty Vampire Kung Fu) chopping Nas’ head off at the beginning… This video probably wont ever get made so who knows when I’ll get around to doing some better Jiang Shi drawings… I had some decent rough sketches for what the character should look like, but I don’t have them online anywhere…

Yo man. I love your work, deeply inspiring. No doubt you are an ancient soul. I read somewhere that you make tattoo work? I was wondering if you can help me out with something. please :)
Historian on 16 Aug 2013 at 9:15 pm #

I love your site man and when I first saw that brachiosaurus pic you
Mad I hated it and thought wow this is crap but after you explained why
You added the air inflating structures (is that right?) it got me thinking and
Inpired me to add that kinda stuff to my own drawings of dinosaurs. I love to draw
Them and that’s all I want to do . Thank you :)

I really want to be a paleoartist when I am an adult, so I have a few questions. When and how did you first have an interest in paleoart? How much do you make annually just as a paleoartist? What do you use to make your art? Anyways, if you can answer these questions that would be awesome. Have a nice day

You can find a ton of information about my art process in the blog posts on this website and on my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/DinosaursReanimated

My daughter Hannah and son Brandon said you are very good. Age 11 and 12 . My daughter is an artist herself and found you to be inspirational thank you ?

I’m in love with your work! The way you research your art inspiring. Just found your YouTube channel today and subscribed. Can’t wait for Jurassic Reimagined!

Just have to say thank you !! Im a big fam of your work and you have actually inspired me to do so much and I actually have a very dark past im not to afraid to admit that i am a recovering heroin addict And when I finally put down the drug i I was afraid to leave my house because I live in Lawrence Massachusetts the city is flooded with drugs so I don’t like to leave my house very much So that just let them to me staying home watching YouTube which introduced me to you I started watching everything I could find from you looking at your art looking at your website and they’ve always been interested in Palio Art since I was young but I had too many obstacles I need to get through I can’t really pinpoint exactly what it was there’s just something about the way you explain things I just understand that I’ve learned a lot from listening and watching you and your work but like I said you’ve inspired me to pick up the brush and this led me to finding something that I really love to do That’s extremely important because the only way to keep myself from going back to hell this by finding something I love To do something to distract me of my darker past Especially earlier on in my recover it was very important i now have 5 years sober as of last month and if never had gotten interested in this work im not sure if i would have made it this far so i want to say thank you and thank you for reading this if you actually did read it !!!!

I love your art, I’d never thought I’d use this term to describe paleoart before but it is metal. Your dinosaurs unapologetically gawdy, unapologetically gorey and unapologetically awesome as a bunch of weird reptilian stem birds should be. Also the world in which you place each critter recieves the same amount of care and research with each little fern or shrub picked out in fine detail. Incredible work!
