Mark P. Witton is a vertebrate paleontologist, a technical consultant on palaeontological documentaries, and also a palaeoartist, graphic designer, and author. His books include The Palaeoartist's Handbook: Recreating Prehistoric Animals in Art and Pterosaurs: Natural History, Evolution, Anatomy. He lives in Portsmouth, UK, with eight tetrapods: two lizards, one snake, four chickens, and one long-suffering, infinitely patient wife.
When it comes to modern palaeoartists, Mark Witton has become a leading light. Life through the Ages II is a beautiful palaeoart portfolio that pushes the envelope where realistic compositions and reconstructions are concerned. * The Inquistive Biologist *
