Vintage Dinosaur Art: Konstantin Flyorov

Vintage Dinosaur Art March 28, 2021March 29, 2021 by Niels Hazeborg

Здравствуйте, comrades! Today, we are going to sneak past the Iron Curtain to see what the palaeoartists in the USSR were getting up to! Let’s get the obligatory joke out of the way first: in Mother Russia, dinosaur art review YOU! Ever since Zoë Lescaze’s monolithic book Paleoart came out, reviewed by me here, we’ve …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Dinosaurs At Your Fingertips

Vintage Dinosaur Art January 4, 2021 by Niels Hazeborg

Happy New Year! Last month, I promised you I’d take an in-depth look at the dinosaur designs from The Land Before Time, and I’m still going to, but life, uh, got in the way (not least because there was a podcast to edit). Today, to cleanse the palate, I’m going to give you something small …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Dinosaur Encyclopaedia for Children (Gollancz)

Vintage Dinosaur Art September 9, 2020September 16, 2020 by Marc Vincent

Who doesn’t love a bit of Steve Kirk? I’ve featured his work numerous times on LITC over the years – both here and over on version 1.0 – and I simply can’t get enough. Imagine my delight, then, when I found hitherto unseen Kirkwork in a book for sale in an Oxfam bookshop on Blatchington …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Extinct Animals

Vintage Dinosaur Art June 17, 2020June 18, 2020 by Niels Hazeborg

I’ve found another very old dinosaur book! This one was released in 1946, and it’s a short but sweet one. The author and illustrator is one Hilary Stebbing, a stalwart of children’s literature of the mid-20th century. It’s rare to find dinosaur art from the 1940’s, a quiet time for palaeontology for obvious reasons, so …

This Mesozoic Month: May 2020

This Mesozoic Month May 29, 2020May 29, 2020 by David Orr

Yer boy David here, returning with another look back at the current month in Mesozoic paleontology. Pandemic or no, each month I look for a selection of interesting research and news stories, posts from the shrinking-but-still-kicking blogosphere, videos, and a piece of paleoart that grabbed my attention. And, of course, I gleefully shine a spotlight …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: The Great Dinosaur Atlas – Part 3

Vintage Dinosaur Art May 28, 2020 by Marc Vincent

Right, it’s time for one last round of The Great Dinosaur Atlas (see part 1 and part 2), the greatest book that John Sibbick ever illustrated by proxy. Again, I must apologise for using (dodgy) photographs rather than scans, but the book is so Great that squeezing it under my scanner is an issue. At …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Verdwenen Werelden – Part 3

Vintage Dinosaur Art March 22, 2020March 22, 2020 by Niels Hazeborg

Here we are again with Verdwenen Werelden, Marie Hubrecht’s masterpiece and the gift that keeps on giving. As we always do, we’ve started off by showing you all the dinosaur stuff. Then, we went to the more recent past to look at some mammals. That leaves us with the many depictions of marine life Hubrecht …

This Mesozoic Month: January 2020

This Mesozoic Month January 31, 2020January 31, 2020 by David Orr

A new decade begins, and once more we’ll wrap up the past month in Mesozoic news. In the News A non-pterodactyloid pterosaur trackway was discovered and hit the scientific press this month, an important new insight into their locomotion on the ground. Possibly made by a rhamphorynchid, it indicates that these little aerial archosaurs were …

Paleoartist Interview: Gabriel Ugueto

Interview November 14, 2019November 14, 2019 by David Orr

Today I’m excited to bring you an interview with one of the most prominent paleoartists working today, Gabriel Ugueto. If you are on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and follow paleoart at all, you are likely well aware of the astonishing scope and quality of art flowing out of Gabriel’s studio. From field guide-style lateral view …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Dinosaurs (St Michael) – Part 2

Vintage Dinosaur Art June 8, 2019 by Marc Vincent

Back we go into the wonderfully Bernard Robinson-illustrated world of 1978’s Dinosaurs, from St Michael (aka Marks and Spencer). Except this time, we’re actually looking at the art from this book that wasn’t provided by Robinson, but is instead attributed to various agencies. It’s a shame that we can’t put specific names to pieces, but …
