Dinosaur illustration by commission

As an experienced palaeoartist I have been involved in a broad range of projects and I'm always happy to get involved with new initiatives. By combining artistry with palaeontology (I have two degrees and a doctorate in palaeontology), I am able to produce the most accurate restorations of prehistoric life. These illustrations and other works of art are suitable for museum exhibits, magazines, books, and for electronic media (websites/presentations). Please contact me with general enquiries about the use of existing images/ commission of new ones. Adam Stuart Smith plesiosauria@gmail.com
