Our thanks to James, a young artist who sent into Everything Dinosaur an ichthyosaur illustration. It is a fabulous painting of a marine reptile.  James had a little trouble emailing the illustration to us, a special thank you to his sister for helping out.  The beautiful and evocative image reveals plenty of detail.  For example, the huge eye of the ichthyosaur.  The artwork gives the impression that the viewer is observing the marine reptile underwater.

A Clever Ichthyosaur Illustration

The marine reptile’s anatomy has been carefully observed by the artist.  It seems to be hanging motionless in the water column.  The blurring of the image provides a unique perspective.  It is as if we are viewing the animal from under the water.  It is a clever ichthyosaur illustration.

James has sent several illustrations to Everything Dinosaur.  For instance, last year he dispatched an illustration of a Columbian mammoth.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur thanked James and his sister Lorraine and stated:

“What an intriguing ichthyosaur illustration.  We are always amazed at how talented some of our customers are.  It is always a pleasure to receive pictures from our customers.  My thanks once again to James and Lorraine.”
