Waaaay back in the mid-to-late 1990's, when I was a youngun, just getting started in my career, my first pieces of published art were Dinosaur illustrations, appearing in children's books and small circulation magazines.
Most of this stuff was for Mike Frederick's "Prehistoric Times" magazine and then, later, for a nice little publisher in Century City, California called RGA Lowell House. (RGA doesn't exist anymore, but at the time it was located right across the street from the Nakatomi Plaza building from the original Die Hard movie! Being a Midwest kid who had just moved to California... I was starstruck.)
I think some of this work may have also been reprinted later in either a Random House or Harper Collins book or two. I can't remember anymore... Pretty sure one of those big companies took over RGA at some point.

My "Dino Art Years" were 1996-1999. After 1999 I started getting work in Television Animation, and stopped doing the Dinosaur Illustration stuff. But recently, I found a whole box of these drawings in my closet and thought it would be fun to add them to my Deviant Art Gallery. Just for nostalgia's sake.

Anyway... Good times...
Enjoy this little glimpse into my professional art prehisotry!
