My other paleontology work is in this gallery:
[link] This is a mount of a cast of the fossil skeleton of Paraphysornis, a 10 million year old "Terror Bird" from Brazil. It is now on display at the Burke Museum on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. This represents about a year of work on my part, first designing the positioning of the skeleton and then recasting certain parts to make this posture possible and assembling them. The weight savings of this design made a very dynamic pose possible. The skeleton stands about 2 meters tall above its base. photo (c) John P. Alexander |

 reports, 1d 13h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
