Generous patron B. G. came to me with a great commission; to turn her boyfriend's "chud son named Jabba, an African bull frog" into a wise, strange, alien deity.
My process with this commission proceeded as before. First, ...

Generous patron A. had a very interesting commission - a spec-evo caricature of a friend as a posthuman adapted exclusively for a life spent gaming and drinking diet coke.
This gave me a chance to pay homage to one of my favorite artists - 2025-09-24 12:07:19 +0000 UTC View Post
Charcoal, watercolour and other media on cotton art paper, 20 cm. wide.
Really enjoying this mixed media technique! Everything melts into the paper while staying crisp and vibrant.
Created for generous patron D.S., an animal-like form of their "original character" persona.
Like previous commissions, this character started out as a number of sketches based on my patron's initial art. Images of mummified foxes were a strong inspiration.
I created this mixed-media painting while live-streaming on the 14th of September, 2025. Charcoal, watercolours, pencil on Khadi cotton art paper, 15 cm. wide.
Thank you all ...

Even a dollar a month makes a huge difference!

A short and mysterious commission for generous donor J.
"Just a regular red fox with an extra tendril extending from between his ears shaped like a red rose... And instead of pupils a starry field for eyes."
I think the stalk-tendril was inspired by Cordyceps, the famous "zombie a...

My rendition of the mysterious, singing "Llano Vibra" plants from Robert Reed's "Great Ship" universe - created for generous patron J. M.
These plants are not explicitly described - we know from the stories that they can learn songs, listen to commands, and can grow individually, or "in meadows". Here is a passage that ...

Created for a private supporter, with the signature "saliva painting" technique I had used for the original All Tomorrows. After 20 years, it's nice to see that I still got the good old saliva magic!
When younger, at certain moments was dealing with extreme fever, I used to hear strange "dream music" when the illness was having its way with me. A few years ago, I tried to capture that feeling while messing around with paint.
Commissioned illustration of Nophtha proditor - discovered and described in part by my good online friend Niko Kasalo; who generously 2025-08-28 20:07:09 +0000 UTC View Post

An intuitive, silly photobash for your eyes only!
I've created numerous photobash experiments like this before - they look very cool but there's really no science behind them. Just match animals that seem close "in spirit"...

This week I am a little slow on new posts and art - because I was away at the Dinocon expo in Exeter, UK, between 16-17 August, 2025. I will get back to my studio soon, and will resume sharing cool new stuff with you.

A personal spec-evo concept, a giant descendant of Rhamphorhynchus-grade "primitive" pterosaurs which somehow evolved to be as big as the famous Quetzalcoatlus.
To put things very simply, there are two main lineages...

The "biological forteana" archive I have been curating for 20+ years - a big selection of strange natural deformities, vagaries of evolution, cladograms, illustrations, and more. Fuel for your spec-evo projects - or just cool stuff to share and gawk at! Some are very weird but all are tastefully cura...
