Stop-motion legend Phil Tippett is having to retire & shut down his studio.

Decades of his art and memorabilia is also being auctioned off.

We are confident Phil Tippett will keep making and creating. He is a brilliant animator and artist of our time. Sad to see the studio close, but the art lives on and inspires

@viper_tobi The visible eyeball has to fit inside the scleral ring. While the scleral bones weren't found, the small orbits of Baryonyx means it would have had relatively small eyes. All dinosaurs with preserved scleral rings show the eyes go at the top of the orbit.

[Scott Hartman @skeletaldrawing]

It would have been nice if the dinosaur designs were a bit more realistic, but this is a ton of fun!

@paleofrikis The tool is based on the skeletal drawings on the website, so 261 of them so far. That does include Laquintasaura, but not currently Tachiraptor. There are instructions on using it on the compare tool page.

Have you ever wanted to make your own size comparisons? I just launched an interactive tool here: https://t.co/FQQikRXpbi

Exhibition in Winchester, England, opening September 26th!

'We are thrilled to share our new exhibition opening at The Arc this September: Ray Harryhausen: Myths in Motion 📷

The story of a legendary animator who changed the course of film history, this special exhibition has been created for The Arc and drawn from the incredible archive of The Ray & Diana Harryhausen Foundation. His creatures – the skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Minaton from Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) and Medusa from Clash of the Titans (1981) - were animated in a way that had never been seen before.

Together with daughter, Vanessa Harryhausen, whose personal contributions will be found throughout the exhibition, we’ve selected over 70 objects to bring to Winchester. They include paintings by artists who were early influencers on Harryhausen’s art and storytelling. Through sketches and original models, the exhibition highlights the inventiveness, incredible artistry and resulting awe of Harryhausen’s career.

📷 Opens Saturday 26 September 2026

@MarshallJulius Now was there one that transformed from french fries in that range? That's the one I had but I have no clue what year I got it, it was definitely McDonald's though.

Taken from the Future Fossils Instagram - the crew assembling the mecha Megalosaurus skeletons at Blenheim Palace over the last few days. It doesn't feel too long since I was drafting the first digital 3D designs for these wild pieces last year - and now they physically exist!

[Mike Tharme (BA, MA) @MikeTharme]

@BlueBeckwith Do I agree with the tech company selling these bots to war, no. Do I think these bots have other uses outside of war, absolutely.

[Mike Tharme (BA, MA) @MikeTharme]

@BlueBeckwith But you could say the same about a hammer, you can use it to make things that improve people's lives, but there will always be people who choose to use it to cause harm and chaos.
