Illustrating the Lost Continent

Here's a little teaser video I produced to show you how I make my dinosaur paintings.



(Link to video) A few weeks ago, Scientific American magazine asked me to paint two dinosaur scenes for an article called "Dinosaurs of the Lost Continent," about the amazing recent discoveries of paleontologist Scott Samson in southern Utah. The illustrations will appear in the next (March) issue of Scientific American.

I'll tell you more about the making of those paintings in future blog posts, but I want to let you know that I'm currently working on an hour-long video (DVD and download) to show the process in great detail.

Many thanks to art director Michael Mrak, paleontologist Scott Sampson, and composer Kevin Macleod.
