Sheeple, Aliens and Dinosaurs

I've been a fan of John Conway ever since his book All Yesterdays came out and was surprised to see I've never actually posted about his work on my blog. John has been drawing dinosaurs since he was a kid, and is known for his unique portrayals of the prehistoric creatures. He caught my attention again today when I discovered this uncanny illustration he did (pictured above). Most of his work is done in Photoshop and Illustrator, but he also paints with Procreate on the iPad.

"I explore some subjects that are not often found fine art," he explains. "I just paint things because I like the idea a lot of the time." Scroll down and check out some of his amazing creations.

However, this isn't just for cool footage. The real mission is to capture valuable scientific data: examining how quickly an eagle can gain altitude and precisely how its incredible wings are adapted to achieve such breathtaking, effortless lift.
