Dinosaur
art falls into an unusual category. Unlike other art, it carries a special
responsibility. It must present what we know as accurately as possible.
Artists who work in this realm are interpreters, showing the public what
scientists have been learning...and lately they have been learning a lot.
What we believe about these fantastic creatures is changing daily, and
artists are busy keeping up. While our toy stores are filled with dinosaur
paraphernalia, dinosaurs are not just for kids. The kids grow up, but
our fascination never fades. We soak in the scientific literature. We
spend hours debating the evidence for warm bloodedness, or what a nest
full of eggs can tell us. As an artist I strive to show off the living
animals and comment on the state of our scientific knowledge. I love these
creatures!
