We’ve had the good fortune to work with some very talented paleoartists on several of our projects, and we occasionally write posts drawing attention to pieces of paleoart that we think are especially cool or noteworthy, or use paleoart as a springboard for talking about paleobiology. As usual for SV-POW!, the tone of the posts ranges from completely serious to deeply silly.
