Rhamphorhynchus might be dead, but I'm not!

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 25, 2009, 12:52 PM

John Conway's Palaeontography
Visit my palaontographical website, and get a free dinosaur!


I am not dead, I have even submitted something! A dissection series of Rhamphorhychus:



It's a little... odd, I guess. I'm not sure where I'm going with it, but it gave me the feeling of painting something real and alive (even though it's dead!) than all the natural life restorations I've done. I hope it conveys the same.

Hi:) just have seen your gallery, i can say your style is a lit of bit similar to doug henderson or greg paul, witch are my favorite dinosaur artist, or how you say "palaeontographists". I just wanted to say that its very awesome to know that there is more artits who have a vision to to show extinct creatures more alive and realistic. Mostly i find them represented like roaring monsters or beasts from prehistoric times, witch i hate...

Your stuff is amazing, my favourite pic by you is on this video: [link] (which I may re-do, I made it before I could figure out how to use annotations and video transitions)

Hi! Before I say anything, I have to tell you that I really admire your work. I love pterosaurs, and you bring them to life for me. :) Please keep it up. I was wondering if I could use your reconstruction of P. kochi in a science presentation that I am giving at a symposium if I give proper citation to your work. The image will not be published in any way, but it will be displayed for approximately three minutes, maybe less, during the presentation as a potential reconstruction of a pterosaur for a general audience that will have no real knowledge of pterosaurs. I will wait until I have your disapproval or approval before adding the image to the presentation, of course, and I appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you. :)

Sorry I'm late with this, I've been away. The answer is yes--the cc license all my work is under allows non-commercial use.

Palaeontography. You know it.

Thanks! I didn't use it for that presentation, but I'm representing and I would love to add your image in!

Hey John, it's Donald, from the Gondolend Message Board. Haven't gotten a chance to catch up with you in a while. What's up ?

I know I've asked you this before, but it was a couple years ago, so I figured I'd ask again. I was wondering if you'd be willing to do a pterosaur commission for me, and how much you'd want for it. Let me know, if it's doable I'll pay it. I really love your art man, and I'd love to have some originals on the site, since I've been working on it in secret for a while. Storm birds and Night birds are my favorites.

Anyway, let me know.

Thanks,
Donald E. Ridenbaugh

Hey Donald, I got your email actually, it went in my "needs a substantial reply" box--which unfortunately means long delays and sometimes death. I'll respond this evening.

Haha, alright. Hopefully not death....

I'm always excited to get new chances to see your artwork. Very inspiring. I'm curious: did you coin the term, "paleontographer?" It's an awesome moniker and lots of paleoart folks here at DA seem to be using it.
