Hi #PortfolioDay I’m Tyler, a 2x Emmy-nominated photojournalist and freelance artist specializing in paleoart and creature design. I also dabble in 2D animation, and do sci-comm on TikTok. My plate is full right now, but I’m planning to take more commissions in 2025. Stay tuned!

After a short break, four more silhouettes have joined my roster for @blankparkzoo: Carcharodontosaurus, Lourinhanosaurus, Oviraptor, and Conchoraptor. Just four silhouettes left! #paleoart

A fraudulent company that lies about bringing back extinct animals using environmentally-harmful, unethical AI slop to advertise their next bullshit project? Yep, that’s Colossal.
NEW PROJECT: We’re working to bring back the South Island giant moa, one of the largest birds to walk the Earth. Gone for 600 years, its legacy still echoes. From ancient DNA to artificial eggs, this project could reshape the future of bird conservation.

RT @DragonsofWales: Colossal uses AI because no palaeoartist with an ounce of integrity would work with them.

On today’s edition of TikTok misinformation that is exhausting to combat: the pendulum has somehow swung too far. We’ve gone from being unable to convince people that birds are dinosaurs to lots of people thinking all dinosaurs are birds and looked like giant chickens.

Also, the creature designs were fantastic across the board. They finally nailed the Jurassic Park aesthetic – not necessarily accurate, but monsterized in a way that feels informed, naturalistic, and plausible, instead of tacked on and generic like the previous World movies.

Rebirth kicks so much ass. It may have the Jurassic World title, but it feels like Jurassic Park in all the right ways. Easily my favorite after the first two movies.

Oh no, the child version of the character looks like the adult version so you can tell they’re the same person!. Star Wars fans do understand that film is a visual medium, right?.
