Palaeo-Art (by sarah)
Recently I found this intresting guy on twitter called the Flying Trilobite who is an artist inspired by science - I really liked his drawings so followed him.
Anyway he then tweeted about submissions for palaeo-environment pictures and lo! I found Art Evolved and their time capsules full of palaeo-art!
Anyway it turned out the next time capsule was palaeo-environments and they wanted pictures along that theme. Unfortunatly it was very close to the deadline and I wasn't sure how to entire or if I could - even though on a later inspection of the site I saw all the instructions in plan sight!
Anyway I basically only manage to get a quick biro sketch done which wasn't composed properly or anything!
My topic was an Upper Ordovician benthonic community - yep you got it - basically it was another of my seascapes 
Anyway its here if you want to see it I'm in the middle bit of the time capsule.
Of course being me the first thing I did was sit down and read a few chapters of various palaeo books I just happen to have lurking about
Anyway I am really excited about this as I've been searching for art and science cross overs The next time capsule is on the Therizinosaurs which I think are like beaked dinosaurs I think! I need to do a bit of reading up on these - at the moment the only book I have that mentions them is my Vertebrate Palaeontology book :/
