Hurry, hurry! An Ornithopod on the beach!!!

Paleoart doesn't go on vacation.
Three mounths ago, my friend Giorgio Faggiano realized this Ornithopod-like sand sculpture, on an italian beach. A brilliant idea, well implemented. Do you agree to that?

Giorgio is also a great amateur-paleoartist. This year, he partecipated to the CIID 2011 with this beautiful illustration of Miragaia longicollum.

Trilobite Boy featured on io9

(cross-posted from here)

Trilobite Boy and some of my other paintings and drawings were featured on io9 this morning, written up by editor-in-chief Annalee Newitz.  Trilobite Boy appeared right on the front page between Captain America and Captain Jack Sparrow.

The article is a lot of fun, and yes, I'd love to work with James Cameron on the next Avatar.  Or Gore Verbinski, George Lucas or Guillermo del Toro, for that matter. ;-P

Thanks to Marilyn Terrell for sharing Trilobite Boy with Annalee in the first place!

More Trilobite Boy blog posts here, and dA gallery here. I hope to have the first installment of the comic complete before the end of March.

Tomorrow you not only get to pick an inspirational post by Andrea Cau but also the humor of google's auto translation.
