The second annual Dino Fest will be held at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum next weekend! 

Come visit the Artifact Graphics table, and be rewarded with the lowest prices ever on our Blue-Blooded Dinosaur matted art prints. We are totally liquidating our stock! We also have plenty of oil paintings. Did you know that California is soon going to have an official state dinosaur? Augustynolophus morrisi was a local duck-billed dinosaur that lived 66 million years ago. (It is not to be confused with our state fossil, Smilodon californicus, the saber-toothed cat.) Artifact Graphics is featuring postcards and prints available in honor of the occasion. Here is a link to the Museum's Dino Fest webpage: Dino Fest

I look forward to seeing you there!

The photon-tastic Spring 2017 issue of PittMed magazine has been published with my artwork serving as a backdrop for Jason Bittel's cover story, and his article on optogenetics. Thank you, Art Director Elena Gialamas Cerri, for the excellent exposure!

Caiman are several species of crocodilia native to Central and South America. They can be distinguished in the field by the shape of their snouts and the arrangement of nape scutes. I am currently working on an identification diagram for the Los Angeles Zoo. The illustration on the upper left shows what the sketches look like as I am in the process of researching the species.

In 2013 we inherited a cranky old king vulture named Gus. He couldn’t fly because his wings were deformed. But he could certainly bite. Eventually we won each other’s hearts, and now he is a joy to have around the office.

We love that our clients want the same kind of artwork as we want to paint.

Tote Bag

"Baby Buitreraptor", a royal relative of Velociraptor. The young blue-blood is wearing what appears to be a strapless dress. The image is sweet and dainty enough for a baby's nursery, yet also tasteful and classical enough to go in your parlor room.

Our artwork makes a tote bag look surprisingly stylish!

Trumpeter swans are able to create their signature honks because they have such a long and convoluted trachea. Illustration by Michelle Leveille for the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Note that this image has been flipped, and the trachea actually deviates to the right in its pathway to the lungs.
