Mark Witton: Art of the Pterosaur

I have something interesting here: Mark Witton's Flicker Photostream. Well, interesting for anyone who likes dinosaurs, which should be everyone, right?

I've linked to Mark Witton's work before; he's the one who has done the brilliantly rendered pictures of giant pterodons like Hazegopteryx as shown here:





And of course with a better size comparison here.  I love the SIZE of these monsters!:





The whole site is filled with brilliant dinosaur artwork. It's worth reading as well, because he discusses a lot of his work as a pre-doctorate researcher who is focusing his grad study on, you guessed it, pterodons. This tells you a lot about the life of a paleobiologist, including the eccentricities required.

I some respects, I'm not sure if Mark Whitton is pursuing his career, or being pursued.

You see?

His artwork makes it easier to understand the work he's doing with those wonderful creatures. (Great inspiration for Spore, too! :D)
