Gosh I love Dinosaurs! When this movie came out, I was nine years old, and seeing my favorite creatures alive on screen was magical (and terrifying). I know the JP dinos aren't 100% scientifically accurate, but they feel so ALIVE that they will forever have a special place in my heart.

The top left cartouche says, 'Life finds a way'. 

The Bottom right caption says, 'You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could that you didn't stop to think if you should.'

As I was adapting these dinosaurs into an Ukiyo-e style, I found a lot of amazing reference from 1800s artists. 

This print by Kuniyoshi (1825) inspired me to meticulously draw every individual scale for my own dinosaurs. It took a long time, but I think it was worth it!

This ink sketch by the famous Hokusai is from around 1830 to 1850. Hokusai had a unique way of depicting birds, with their heads cocked to one side, and black, dead looking eyes. The effect is quite lifelike, and also a bit chilling! If you went back in time and told Hokusai that birds evolved from 'terrible lizards', he might very well believe you.

NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:

1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!

2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.

Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.

This print looks great in three standard 16 x 20 frames (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).
