TLS05E07 PaleoArt

With every big new paper or museum exhibition there will be artwork depicting dinosaurs as actual living animals, as well as all kinds of other representations of these animals be it pop-art or cartoons. Today we have a special with an extended chat to two artists who specialise in dinosaurs and make their living from producing images of these animals. They are Danielle Dufault who works for the Royal Ontario Museum and Natee Himmapaan who is an independent artist in London. We discuss the very concept of palaeoart and the roles of artists in communicating science to the public, as well as the explosion of interest and new artists in recent years.  Dave’s archive of interviews with palaeoartists: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/palaeoart-roundup/ Natee’s old blog (with numerous images): https://himmapaan.wordpress.com Danielle’s website: https://www.ddufault.com
