So as you've seen, I've drawn some prehistoric beasts again, but I'll be slow, it won't be like during the years 2001-2005. Time has passed and I have many other things to do. I still have a big collection of drawings from that epoch I'll post now and then here. Well, let's see how DA will consider paleoart, always based on photos of skeletons or on various skeletals.

So some questions here:
- Is it worth it taking a print account and to sell prints through DA?
- If there was a problem, and otherwise having an alternative where to post art (and be in contact with artists, especially paleoartists), what's the best? Facebook is excluded. I don't wanna register there under my real name, and besides, Facebook looks to me like a toxic environment. So what are the alternatives? Blogspot? Tumblr? Other suggestions?

Cheers - Luka SCLAYENE.

Some strange phenomenon just happened in Roche-à-Frème, Belgium: a hen laid eggs as usual some time ago, but one chicken is born with 3 claws at each wing. I'm thinking about telling geneticians about it, because it looks to me like a very rare case of reversed darwinism!

GODDAMNIT... The neightbors just told me right now: to be left in peace, they killed the chick and now it's in the soup!

You know, it's ol'Ardenne here. Too bad for scientific experiments!

So, already two new pieces have been added to this paleontography gallery. I'm planning a larger illustration for late Fall based on some 's skeletals. I have a job and other occupations outside artistic ones, so well, this gallery will be slow during this year.

I removed my real name from this gallery: my real name will be used only for my job and what's related to my job. I will now use "Luka Sclayène" as an artistic alias (really, just see it as an artistic alias), and I prefer now to be known that way as an artist, was it paleoart, fantasy or comics. However, to keep a sort of continuity, I will still sign my paleoart as "Aspidel", while waiting for a better choice.

I'm planning in mid September to meet an artistic collective group in Aubange, South Belgium, and maybe to join them for various artistic projects (I'd likely add a dinosaur or two there also).

Well, that's about it for now.

...after all these years.
Still looking after some interesting critters to draw. Dinobirds, Triassic basal critters, things like that. And some wild Nature to go with it.

It seems the DML is about dead lately. The DinoData forum is gone. So I nwonder how to have some contacts with the young paleontologists - like the way I drew some sauropods (Gondwanatitan, Paralititan)... years ago. I know JP is far, far ago and dinomania is gone. But it seems the best paleontographists still stay, which is a very good thing.

Uh, also, what has to be left behind is left behind, no need to say more.

If you wonder why this account is inactive lately, it's because I don't draw paleontography anymore currently.  Maybe one day I'll return, who knows...
