A Teensy Bit Late For #fossilfriday In My Own Timezone But It's Not Too Late For Some Of You! Here's

A teensy bit late for #fossilfriday in my own timezone but it's not too late for some of you! Here's a part of my collection of actual fossils; some from where i grew up here in Buskerud, Norway, and some are from the Jurassic Coast, England. First up, there's the two ammonites...or bivalvs?...or..mollusks.. that i found while on a fossil trip when in 2007, from the Jurassic Coast, which is a famously fossil rich coastline in England, UK. The rest of the fossils are from Norway, where the majority of fossils you can find are mollusks of various forms, and some trace fossils of early sea creatures. The largest fossil found here I believe was a 0.3 - 1 meter long eurypterid, or seascorpion as they're known as (tho icthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and a pliosaur dubbed "predator x" and other Jurassic marine life has been found on the Norweian governed part of Svalbard). These mollusks i excavated myself as a child from rocks right outside my yard with a regular hammer or other rocks. Some i could just poke right out of the rock. I don't have that much info on these things cause i haven't really looked into these things in the likes of 12 years🤷‍♂️ #fossil #fossils #mollusks #invertebrates #tgif #amateurpaleontologist #jurassiccoast #norwegianpaleontoligy https://www.instagram.com/p/B5wKYT3lGSA/?igshid=1x6jrwy8v2nah

Still a wip, but here is a long promised update on the kelenken sculpt 2.0. Been working on it on and off for a while now, and i keep running into problems with it. I think the glue in the masking tape i foolishly tried to use again (after learning not to while making the platybelodon), has been deteriorating the bulk layer of clay, and the the bulk layer has been drying out and cracking up the outer layer😓 so much back and forth and so much material.. I'm doubting wether or not to double down and get this one right, or restart. #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #sculpture #supersculpy #paleoart #terrorbird #art #artist #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #dinosaurart #iceage #iceageanimal #kelenken #kelenkenguillermoi #arksurvival #wip #workinprogress #dinosaur #diorama #miniatures #phorusrachid #phorusrhacos https://www.instagram.com/p/B4V1ga1lTgo/?igshid=1a8kxuc8in90m

Been busy working, adulting and starting on a 3 week job seeker course to help me do more, non-art related adulting, so not done that much art. Here's scene i drew like 15 years ago mashing up something from The Future Is Wild, Ice Age (the movie) and BBC's Walking With Beasts. Top left is a saber toothed wolverine or badger pressing a flock of chicken like, flightless birds off a cliff. Bottom left is a sabertoothed cat cub waiting in anticipation of it's mother to kill an unsuspecting mammoth or mastodont having a shower. More more drawings and sculpture updates will be posted soon👌 #art #artist #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #paleoscene #fantasy #throwback #idrewthisasachild #childrensdrawing #drawing #lookingback #reminiscing https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hiBnslWrs/?igshid=o8zxiqksk41v

i haven’t drawn much because all my spare time has gone towards going overboard with holiday prep but i do have a small pope offering from like a week ago as usual so here, take him

also important: literally the day after i saw this pic of an actual archbishop’s tomb
