Face-to-face: a, pigeon, iguanodon and pterodactyl, in the park gardens of the former Crystal Palace at Sydenham, May 2008. The pigeon seems confident to take this prominent perch! Iguanodon (a dinosaur) and Pterodactylus (not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur) are among the famous Victorian-era sculptures of extinct animal species made by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, guided by palaeontologist Richard Owen. / The original pterodactyl sculptures had gone missing, and were replaced in 2002 along with much other restoration work done then. Much has changed in our ideas, and debate continues, in relation to the story of life on earth. ‘Iguanodon’ now is envisaged as looking quite different to how it ‘looked’ when sculpted then! ..and who can say how for sure it really looked? But Owen’s and Hawkins’ work was pioneering, and had huge impact in bringing such extinct unfamiliar lifeforms into public awareness.. the dragons of legend, amazingly shown to have existed as biological reality! / The intrigue and popularity of such creatures – both factual and imagined – continues today.

Oil on canvas, 2009. Sometimes as an artist, I get an image full-blown in my mind; that was the case here. Composition, lighting, hues. I needed some details for the biplanes. So I did a bit of online poking, and found the story of a true Canadian adventurer, perfect to add to my concept painting. Major William George “Billy” Barker was a World War 1 flying ace and Victoria Cross recipient who flew Sopwith Camels against German Fokkers. Although I could not find any information indicating he fought against the infamous Red Baron, Manfred Von Richtofen, I thought these two ace pilots would heighten the drama in this alternate history. Of course, Major Billy Barker has a trick up those RAF sleeves: his fighting pterosaur squadron, made up of Quetzalcoatlus northropi. Links and more here . (Currently not available as a print, until it dries and gets a proper scan – let me know if you’d like to see a print available!)

Original artwork 22” x 15” Mixed media (plaster, impasto, sand, graphite powder, turpentine, 8B pencil) on 12mm MDF / photographed on Ilford Pan F using a Mamiya RB67 – / 16×10 Selenium toned hand-print – re-photographed for display on a Lumix DMC-LX3 (this image) This is the first in a series of studies of fossil pterosaurs that I am working on as part of the preparatory stages of the Annunciation series of paintings – these are technically accurate renditions of actual fossils which will be incorporated into the base layers of the paintings. The original artwork is fairly unstable and is likely to degrade fairly quickly – which is why I chose to photograph and print it as a selenium toned hand-print in order to ‘preserve’ it. critique and discussion here My good friend, the astonishing poet CC Arshagra has written Frail If this work served no other purpose other than to inspire such a beautiful poem, it would have been worth every moment spent making it.
