This children's book tells a story of an old Triassic tree growing in Arizona during the late Triassic, some 225 million year ago--a tree that lives together with other Triassic plants and animals, eventually dies, lands in a river and is carried by flood waters to lowland plains where today fossil logs weather into view from the soft, freshwater stream deposits in Petrified Forest National Park. The story and illustrations take a little inspiration from wandering through both the fossil remains of Triassic flora and fauna and the living examples of old conifers in wild places.  The hardcover book has 32 numbered pages, 17 color pastel illustrations, one little map and a closing glossary.

I picked up a few hundred copies (new, hardcover, english version) when the book went to remainders, the small stock I'm offering here.  Each book will be signed, can include a requested inscription and made unique with a doodle or sketch on the title page--you may request an image or leave it to me. The book will be carefully packed in a Priority US Mail box.  Outside the US, the book will be custom boxed and shipped 1st Class International.

Dinosaur Ghosts, The Mystery of Coelophysis is a children's book that explores the possible events that resulted in a large number of these little dinosaurs being fossilized in a Triassic age bone bed at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, the site discovered in 1947.  The book has 32 numbered pages, 10 photographs (mostly historical), 13 illustrations and 2 diagrams.  Written by Lynett Gillette and published by Dial Books for Young Readers in 1997.

This 8x8 inch self-published book is a collection of early drawings and field sketches that span the first 10 years of my becoming an artist and the simple foundation of my work as an illustrator. The book includes 132 drawings of landscapes, people, places and events of interest and examples of my beginning efforts developing working styles, a sense of composition and a better informed imagination.

The book can be purchased in digital and print form from HP Magcloud, the link provided here:

I suggest selecting UPS Ground deliver for the small additional charge, as the book is then delivered in a fine, protective box.  The book is only packaged in a clear plastic envelope when sent through the US Mail and is hefty enough to get dinged during shipping.
