Welcome to the home of palaeontography, which is a new dicipline, made up by me — which largely doesn't exist yet. I'm John Conway, and I draw pterosaurs. I am disatisfied with palaeontological art as it is, including my own, but have so far failed to spark the revolution. A rebel without a cause (well, a plan anyway).
All the artwork on this website is under a Creative Commons licence, meaning you can use it for non-profit purposes, as long as you don't alter it, and give me attribution. Some of my work is under an even more liberal GDFL licence, which can be found on my Wikipedia user page. Better yet, if you want to pay me to use my work, drop me an email.
