My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2024 I designed the Ice Age Giants coin series, for The Royal Mint and the Natural History Museum, London. The coloured silver coins came with acrylic presentation blocks, here's my giant deer block artwork.

It's St. Patricks Day! So here is a couple of Megaloceros pieces to help us all remember a time when giants roamed the misty glens and boglands of Ireland.

Megaloceros, something called the Irish Elk, wasn't an elk at all, but a whole genus of extinct deer. There are 6 species of this giant extinct deer! The one depicted in this pin is likely M. Giganteus or M. antecedens. It's closest living relative is believed to be the fallow deer, but sadly they're still rather distant and there's nothing quite like this amazing genus alive today. We have this enamel pin in multiple colors and in glow.
