a set of 6 linocut prints in black ink on tan paper. from left to right, the prints show: a Deinonychus with wings outspread, a group of ostrich dinosaurs, a Parasaurolophus framed by clouds, a stegosaur, a soaring Pteranodon, and a Borealopelta wading through shallow water.

a digital illustration of a large theropod dinosaur hunting baby sauropods. the tyrannosaur has a bright yellow-and-orange face with wrinkled, lumpy skin around its throat, and a body covered in short gray and black feathers. it is holding one small sauropod in its mouth, while three others flee from its claws through the ferns.
A detailed black and white line drawing depicting the face of Tyrannosaurus rex. The lines are densely packed, creating a textured appearance that suggests the rough, scaly skin of the Tyrannosaurus.
a digital illustration of an armored dinosaur wading across a shallow body of water in a forest. the water is covered in a layer of bright green algae, which is sticking to the flanks of the dinosaur and making swirling, spiraling patterns in its wake.
a photo of a collection of paleoart prints laid out on a flat surface.
a black-and-white digital illustration of a pterosaur standing in some ferns on the floor of a misty forest. it has a relatively small, rounded crest and a long tail; another pterosaur is faintly visible flying through the fog in the background.
a digital illustration of an Aquilops, a small basal horned dinosaur, peeking out of a layer of ferns. he has a blue face with a white stripe across his cheek, a tiny hooked beak with a red crest, and large cute eyes.
a photo of a person in an art studio holding up a print and smiling at the camera. the artist (Em) is white and bearded and wears glasses and a black t-shirt that says "85 million years in the making"; the print is a lithograph of an Archaeopteryx floating in abstract organic squiggles, bordered by an assemblage of light brown shapes like a broken fossil slab.
a digital illustration in browns and blacks of a dinosaur investigating a hole in some tree roots. only its head and one arm can be seen through the ferns surrounding it.
A black and white print of a duckbill dinosaur carcass lying on a floodplain with a shallow covering of water. One of its front legs sticks up into the air and its head is upturned so that the underside of its skull is visible. Its chest is torn open and entrails fall out into the water. Beneath the large dinosaur, a small bird washes itself and another perches on a piece of driftwood.
a photo of a book titled "When the Earth Was Green: Plants, Animals, and Evolution's Greatest Romance" by Riley Black, on a desk. the cover has various extinct animals surrounded by plants on a black background.
a small black linocut print on tan paper, with a silhouette of an armored dinosaur from above, surrounded by ripples
a digital illustration of a pterosaur scratching its beak with its hand claws. it has a yellow-tipped bill with large teeth poking out at odd angles, bare pink skin on its face, and fuzzy white and gray feathering over its bulky neck.
a monochrome digital ink drawing of a large Eryops, a prehistoric amphibian looking like a fat crocodile, emerging from a a pool in a misty forest
a page of digital ink drawings of the dinosaur Iguanodon, featuring three portraits with varying amounts of speculative soft tissue and a silhouette of the animal. the Iguanodon on the far left has a fleshy wattle on its nose and an inflatable sack under its chin, the one on the far right is plain and almost shrink-wrapped, and the one in the middle is somewhere in the middle. the drawings are in a dark red-brown on a pale cream ground.
a detailed image of the print, showing the delicate lines inked in black which make up the auk in contrast to the abstract bubbles, drips, and brushstrokes in the soap ground, inked in green which changes from olive-green to blue-green below the auk's head.
a print in shades of green and black of a dead bird, floating or falling into turbulent water. the bird is an auk, a large flightless waterbird that looks like a penguin, and is wrapped in thin rope or wire that leads up off the top of the image and to the edge of the platemark.
a digital illustration of a Velociraptor sitting like a vulture, with its heels flat against the ground. it has light brown plumage shading darker on the wings and back, and its head is featherless, with dark grey, wrinkled skin.
a digital sketch of a dire wolf trapped in bubbling tar up to its shoulders. its hackles are raised and it is snarling. to the side there is a handwritten caption: "the angriest dog in the world."
a digital illustration of Tameryraptor, a giant charcharodontosaurid theropod, looking into a swampy green valley. the dinosaur is light brown with a pink-grey head.
a digital illustration of a huge azhdarchid skull on the forest floor, half-hidden by vegetation. a small theropod with folded wings, a long tail, and large toe claws is perched on top of the skull, drawn as a black silhouette against a background of pale green trees.
a loose, brushy monochromatic digital sketch of a giant azhdarchid skull surrounded by plants on a forest floor, with a tiny theropod perched on top.
a print on paper laid on top of a spiral-bound sketchbook. the print is a copper plate etching and depicts an auk, lying dead and bound in rope at the top of the composition. the bottom half of the print is an empty gray field with a subtle stippled texture.
a set of six small linocut prints in black ink on sheets of light tan paper. all are in a square composition and make use of background chatter to form shapes and texture around the subjects, which are mostly silhouettes. top row: a Deinonychus in a swamp spreading its wings in front of a rising sun, a flock of ostrich dinosaurs walking close together, a Parasaurolophus vocalizing and creating clouds of mist around its head. bottom row: a stegosaur crouching so that its armor and spiked tail fit within the composition, a Pteranodon flying through wind-torn clouds, a Borealopelta seen from above wading through shallow water.
a montage of paleoart prints, including a lithograph of an ammonite, linocuts of dinosaurs and pterosaurs, and painted monotypes of bird-like dinosaurs. in the corner of the image is a caption stating "15% off SITE-WIDE"
a digital illustration of a Dromaeosaurus from the neck up, with dark feathers and a bright orange wattle and blue throat wrinkles, similar to a king vulture.
a stylized, black-and-white digital illustration of a Mobulavermis, a Cambrian invertebrate with a flattened, segmented body, a long thin tail, and spiny jaws.
a digital illustration of two small bird-like dinosaurs, Anchiornis. They are mostly black with white and grey spotted feathers on their wings, legs, and the base of their long tails, and a white streak behind their red eyes. One has a crest of red feathers and is perched on a log, coughing up a pellet. The other, crestless, stands nearby on the ground and looks at the pellet.
a digital illustration of a Linheraptor (a raptor dinosaur), showing two views: a simple silhouette and a detailed portrait, colored like a turkey vulture
