Next August (weekend of 16th-17th 2025), the very first #DinoConUK kicks off in Exeter, UK. It's a descendant of #TetZooCon but way bigger, and this first one is very much dinosaur-focused. We're very excited about it and hope that you'll join us. Info and booking for accommodation is online at .... https://www.dinocon.co.uk/

I'm here, but only occasionally. So... #TetZooCon is no more: 2024 was our last one. But hello #DinoConUK, starting August 2025. We're at Exeter University in August 2025 for two days involving stalls, merch, stands, displays, quizzes, talks and more relevant to #dinosaurs and related things. You can already register interest and book accommodation.... https://www.dinocon.co.uk/

In the past I worked as a tour guide (I've had a LOT of jobs). This year I decided to run my own tour in conjunction with #TetZooCon - we called it #TetZooTour - and I'm pleased to say that it really worked out. Museums, zoos, science sites, natural history. A report.... https://tetzoo.com/blog/2024/10/13/the-inaugural-2024-tetzootour

We just held the last ever #TetZooCon. A lot went down: it was, I think, the biggest and the best. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make it what it was. Here's a long write-up with lots of pictures.... https://tetzoo.com/blog/2024/10/7/the-last-tetzoocon What's next? Well...

Here's a #pen and #watercolour pencil #painting I finished last week (just in time for #TetZooCon). It was commissioned by Dr Dave Hone and depicts a pair of #Confuciusornis tail feathers being obscured by the leaves of the #Ginkgo apodes tree it is sat in. #paleoart

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Continuing with 2016 and the TetZooCon theme, here's a video from the TetZooCon 2016 palaeoart workshop. After I talked about reconstructing Psittacosaurus, the attendees sculpted their own psittacosaurs. Choosing the winner was tricky!

Four highlights from this weekend's Tet Zoo Con: the genius @john Conway pointing at me, Dave Hone with a Doug Henderson original artwork, me with Katrina van Grouw dressed as a Great Auk, and the announcement of DinoCon 2025 (see: dinocon.co.uk).

Bruce the T. rex made a lot of friends on his trip to #TetZooCon. He got on well with Chris Packham and thought Steve White was delicious. Bruce is now on his way home to Wollaton Hall.

This weekend was Tet Zoo Con 2024, here are some of the brilliant artists who were there...

I tried not to overdo it this year, but I still got myself some nice swag at #TetZooCon!

#tetzoocon purchases: two books!
(One in Swedish to practice my language learning)

A postcard print by @JoschuaKnuppe

And a sticker with the T. rex skeleton print by Matt Dempsey (https://bsky.app/profile/sketchy-raptor.bsky.social) :)

#tetzoocon stuff!
A Swedish dinosaur book I grabbed and a "bad paleoart" attempt (which was harder to do than it looks like) :)

What's going on at #TetZooCon?

In London for #TetZooCon! I get a nice view walking across Waterloo bridge in the morning.

I’m getting excited for #TetZooCon in just a few short weeks! I had a great time at last year’s event.
Here’s my experience of TetZooCon 2023 for those curious. It was definitely worth my first international flight!
