Well, it’s been and gone again for another year – Jurassic June, an online celebration of all things prehistoric, especially my favourite movie ever, Jurassic Park. 30 whole days to get excited beyond measure about nothing but dinosaurs! For last years Jurassic June, I managed to complete one cartoon dinosaur every day for the entirety […]
Cartoon insect in amber
Ok, so we all know I’m a massive fan of the Jurassic Park movies… So, for a change to more cartoon dinosaurs, I thought I’d do a cartoon of the insect in amber that started the whole story. So what’s the deal with the insect in amber? Easy peasy for those who have seen the […]
Dinosaur cartoons

Not strictly a dinosaur, but one of the flying reptiles and is synonymous with what we have in mind when we think of prehistoric times. This particular […]
Cartoon Ankylosaurus
Talk about a living tank – this cartoon Ankylosaurus is that and then some! Even his eyelids were armoured!
Cartoon Brachiosaurus
