Devonian Shorts
Description: Celebrate the ultimate evolutionary leap with this vintage 1980s collegiate style Devonian Period Track and Field design. Featuring a Tiktaalik taking its historic first steps onto land, this retro graphic is perfect for paleontology fans, biology teachers, geologists, and anyone who loves prehistory humor.
Description: Dunkleosteus was a 19.7 foot super-predator that used a lethal combination of suction and a wicked bite to cut through everything unlucky enough to cross it’s path, armor or no. Like many fish living today, D.terrelli most likely would swim close to unsuspecting prey and suck water into it’s mouth along with it’s victim. Instead of teeth, Dunkleosteus possessed a set of bony plates that were an extension of it’s own dermal armor. These places were self sharpening and would shear through most other armored fish with little trouble and was aided by a four-bar linkage mechanism that allowed it to open and close it’s jaws on the top and bottom at incredibly high speeds.
Description: Clever science themed design inspired by ancient prehistoric fossils from the Devonian era. The artwork highlights humor connected to paleontology and ancient marine creatures. Perfect for geology enthusiasts, fossil collectors, and science lovers who appreciate nerdy humor. Ideal for people fascinated by prehistoric life and educational science themed graphics.
Description: Teignmouth in Devon (UK) is a picturesque little seaside town that sits at the end of the Teign estuary. The rock here is classic Devonian sandstone - a red coloured stone that can be seen in the famous red sands and the cliffs (that the train weaves its way through en route from Exeter to Plymouth). Half the pub sign is missing, so I'm not sure its full name, so for now its the New 'Q'! This view of a corner of the harbour area is the first of hopefully many that I'll be painting over coming months. Painted in oil on a 16x12 inch board.
Description: Sidmouth is another of those devon seaside towns with distinctive red Devonian sandstone cliffs and beach. Seen here from its Western promenade as it climbs the cliff, I've painted this view in oil on a 12x12 inch board. Carry on behind me and you'll come to a nice clifftop spot for tea and a very large slice of cake!
