As a note to Austin, I'm also an avid dino fan -my inspirations have been in no particular order:<BR/>The Land Before Time (first one)<BR/>The art of Crash (just check out stanwinstonstudio.com and you'll know what I mean) Bill Watterson also did some great dinosaur drawings in his Calvin & Hobbes strips. John Gurche has painted a lot of great dino paintings for National Geographic too. I must also swear on my dino encyclopedia for skeletal and extended reference: <A HREF="http://www.a1wdb.com/cgi-bin/women/14340?tab=ftd" REL="nofollow">link</A> I hope you -and all of the other dino enthusiasts out there- enjoy these refs as I have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-3198949712484627132008-02-29T01:02:00.000-05:002008-02-29T01:02:00.000-05:00Great idea!

There are so many incredible paleo artists and sculptors that I hesitate to mention any for fear of leaving off someone. You probably already know these resources, but for anyone else, a good place to see contemporary paleoart is in the magazine Prehistoric Times. I also love Michael Ryan's Palaeoblog.blogspot for science and pop culture news and lots of links.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-34530528905780149702008-02-28T03:38:00.000-05:002008-02-28T03:38:00.000-05:00Howdy Jim,Thanks for running such a great blog, th...Howdy Jim,<BR/>Thanks for running such a great blog, there's always something new. Great entry on animorphic charactersm. I love Rien Poortvliet, I used to draw from his dog book all the time. I posted my take on your Khalians. What a cool challenge. Keep the great blog posts coming! I'm working on a little ten-page comic featuring dinosaurs, so I'm gathering as much reference as I can. I've been sketching from Dinotopia of course, and Mark Schultz's Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Douglas Henderson is another superb artist--his environments have a great sense of atmposphere and he works a great deal in black and white, which I call diNOIRsaur. Terrible joke. Anyway, if you know of any other great paleoartists, please let me know. <BR/>Later Jim!<BR/>AustinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634354258406911180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-60086334443904501122008-02-27T17:24:00.000-05:002008-02-27T17:24:00.000-05:00Reminds me of ConceptArt.org's "Daily Sketch Group...Reminds me of ConceptArt.org's "Daily Sketch Group"...<BR/><BR/>http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=39Frank-Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108449526617418249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-50909656029714569212008-02-27T16:26:00.000-05:002008-02-27T16:26:00.000-05:00Hear-hear to Jen Zeller.My submission is already o...Hear-hear to Jen Zeller.<BR/>My submission is already on the pony express.Erik Bongershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409523352634066030noreply@blogger.com
