Alas, “survival of the fittest” would not be a concept that worked out for Rex.
The Illustration Friday theme of the week is “survival,” so…
Here's a spread from DinoTracks, my fourth illustrated book with Sylvan Dell Publishing. These are polar dinosaurs, Timimus Hermani who lived at the icy south pole. OK, the santa hat was added later - that's my artistic license showing.
What would happen if you took dinosaurs skating on your local pond?
This is from Don't Invite Dinosaurs to Dinner, Red robin books, 2012

I was excited when I heard that November's theme is "Dinosaurs" because I'm in the midst of drawing exactly that. Actually the book is about dinosaur tracks and the science of studying the tracks. The tracks provide clues to the movement, behavior, what they ate, lots of information about dinosaurs come from their footprints. Hopefully I'll be posting more dinos as the month goes along.
As the June 1st release of The Secret Queen draws near, interest in The Empyrical Tales series is growing.
Here is a brand new review of Book I: The Fourth Queen from The Reader's Roundtable.
A FEROCIOUS DINOSNAIL APPEARS...
T’was true then and remains true to this day.
The Illustration Friday theme for this week is “prehistoric”, so remembering an old post that would work quite well, I dug it up, dusted it off and made a few tweaks to spiff it up a bit.
… and speaking of the holidays, I just wanted to invite y’all over to The Doodle Diner on the 13th. We’ll be dishing up our own version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Each day we’ll have a new illustration of an old classic.
Come join the fun.

Happy Tuesday, people. After an invigorating (albeit cold!) morning walk outdoors and a strong cup of coffee, I’m energized and ready to tackle the day. So I begin with posting a piece I worked on back in November for the Jan/Feb 2010 issue of Chirp! magazine (Owlkids). I worked these up on my laptop and [...]

In our intense efforts to solve the Dinosaurs vs. Princesses debate, we are leaving no stone unturned as we gather our facts. Matt just reported back with a field report based on some intense and prolonged observance of Dinosaurs in thier natural habitat. His 253 page report will be published as soon as it is peer-reviewed. Until then, his journal entry for 9-15-09 his been adapted into yet another Word Play entitled “Little Dinosaur’s First Day of School“.
I bugged Krista while she was on the phone for the required nouns and verbs, so you can be sure that they were completly off the cuff. Lets see how it turned out!
There once was a Dinosaur named George, who was so jealous when he thought about his first day of school that he faked having a dog so that he wouldn’t have to jump. When that didn’t work, he hid in the cat, but his momma found him between his baby and the pretty phone.
“Why don’t you want to go to school?” George’s mother asked. “You’ll learn all about shirts and ordering. It will be good for you!”
“I’m guilty!” George trembled. “What if all the other kids pick on me?!”
George’s mother dreamed knowingly and raised her dino eyebrow, “I promise they won’t.”
“How do you know?” George asked while trying to pray and escape.
“I just do,” said his mother angrily. George finally smacked, and he went to School with an expensive look on his sword.
All of his stalling made him late, so there was no one in the hallways as he fell blankly to his classroom. He took a deep engine, and he bravely opened the door to his classroom.
“AAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!” the classroom painted, “A dinosaur!!!!!”
George realized that he didn’t need to be afraid of the guitars, they were afraid of HIM! His momma must have known all along!
It’s your turn to play along. Check out the Word Play section on our FUN STUFF page!

Well, hello there, SFG'ers! Been a long time, hasn't it? Jeff, thanks for keeping this up and running. What a great inspiration for all artists.
Well, thought I'd stop by SFG to let you all know that I've illustrated my very first children's book, How To Train With a T. Rex And Win 8 Gold Medals, written by Michael Phelps with Alan Abrahamson. Yes, THAT Michael Phelps. Hey, check out some of the insides of the book HERE.
FYI: No, I didn't meet him. Yes, I've heard all the jokes. No, this is not an attempt to make parents forget about the photo -- the book was done a month before the photo was released. Just had to get all that out!
Okay! There ya go!
Who doesn’t crave chocolate? Well, okay. I have met ONE person who had NO desire for it, but for the remainder of the earth’s population, I think it’s a universal craving. So unfortunately I don’t have time to create something new for this week, so I pulled out and modified this illustration from a cartoon spread [...]
Here are a couple of preliminary sketches for a couple of projects I'm working on....Ink and Photoshop
Love this guy! Too cute.

That’s how it happened. Super funny idea!
