A collection of observational museum sketches based on archeological and paleontological finds.
I've been taking my little A7 sized sketchbook with me to international museum visits over the past few years. This accumulation of carefully crafted sketches is the result of all my object observations.
Sketched out in 4-6B graphite & Polychromos coloured pencil.

Paleontology Art
This paleoart series seen above was initially made to be put on double sided bookmarks, with the representative fossil on the other side (see my Shop page). They show a nice little panoramic window into the prehistoric past.
