New Dinosaur Paintings by Phil Wilson

Dimetrodon paintingLiopleurodon painting

 

Phil Wilson just illustrated two new dinosaur paintings using a combination of acrylic and airbrush. The first painting – “Dimetrodon” – was a 12 foot long reptile that pre-dated the dinosaur age and was the first predator of its time. The second painting – “Liopleurodon attacking Mosasaurs” features Liopleurodon, which is nicknamed “T-rex of the ocean” or “Sea-rex”  It was a top ocean predator of the late dinosaur age and is shown attacking Mosasaurs, which was a sea-going lizard related to the modern day Komodo dragons and reached a length of 30+ feet. As usual – like the majority of his dinosaur art being used for various publishing books – Phil uses a combination of scientific fact and super realism.

Children’s Book by Phil Wilson

Phil Wilson is creating numerous illustrations for a new children’s book – as we all know it is always difficult for the author to come up with funding for a self publishing project. In this case the author and another family member came up with a great idea of using kickstarter.com to raise money for the book. They created a fabulous video to explain everything about the book – you can view the video at http://kck.st/RhMhAK
