A herd of Centrosaurus crossing a river. By Douglas Henderson.

There are a lot of great paleo-artists these days, but one of my favorites is Douglas Henderson. His illustrations transcend the medium used to create them and look like snapshots from deep time. I’m not kidding—Henderson’s art really looks like photos from a paleo-safari.

Many times such beautiful drawings are confined to the pages of books or magazines, but Henderson has made a wide array of his illustrations available as prints on eBay. There’s something there for everyone. If you like dinosaurs there are plenty of excellent prints to choose from, although I am quite partial to his phytosaur paintings. I may just have to order a few prints to decorate my new office.
