Hi, I’m Emma, an illustrator, comic artist, and sculptor with a propensity for drawing dinosaurs, monsters, aliens, and spaceships, but especially dinosaurs. I'm working on a sci-fi story with all of the above. Except dinosaurs, oddly no dinosaurs.

I'm into the nitty gritty (fun but frustrating (how do I art?)) parts of the state dinosaur illustrations. Sometimes they go in directions I didn't expect. It always takes me about a week to get back in the zone after I have a convention. Hence doing fewer conventions next year. I want to focus.

I decided to redo the stegosaurus. I have a habit of doing side views all of the time, it's just so easy to do. But it really flattens the image. I've been trying to challenge myself with these pieces, which is subsequently slowing me down dramatically. Not sure how many I'll finish by SVP.

Dinosaurs Survived! Series 4 is here with 5 new dinosaurs and 6 new birds. www.emmalerae.com/store.html Bearded Vulture with Monolophosaurus Western Meadowlark and Anzu Budgies and a Cockatiel with Astralovenator Pallas's Sandgrouse with Guanlong Goldcrest with Archaeopteryx #paleoart #sciart

As someone that has relied heavily on black ink lines to delineate the edges of their illustrations, trying to learn how to not do that has been challenging beyond belief. I'm trying to paint more than draw for the state and province dino illustrations, and the urge to outline everything is strong.

The book is real and it’s finally out!! Extinction Coast is a collection of my dinosaur art and stories of the changed world they inhabit. I’m super proud of it and so stoked it finally really exists

Sorry this isn't another Etch A Sketch doodle, you people really liked that. I'm still plugging away at the State/Provincial dinosaurs/fossils. The plan is to also release stickers and well as 8x10 prints of each of the illustrations without the state border.

Ha ha, thanks. It’s been a while since I’ve touched an Etch A Sketch, all waiting rooms should have them. Or I need to go to the kid area of waiting rooms and see what they have. I’d rather look at picture books of animals than read some random magazine.

It's been awhile since I've had to write anything like an artist statement, which I'm quite happy about, but I've been tasked with writing a two sentence bio and I've been staring at a muddle of words most of the day and I'm on the verge of an existential crisis. Mondays, am I right?

I gift you all this doodle I did a few years ago that's just been sitting on my computer. Happy spooky season!! (excuse the questionable skeletal anatomy, I did it without reference.)

I mean, the debate is still out, so I just try it out on occasion to see how I feel, because it’s a weird visual shift to their faces.

Keezy and I are apparently birthday buddies! Give her books a read, they are amazing. Buy them, borrow them, check them out from a library. Support hardworking artists!!

Suciasaurus Rex! I make a lot of dinosaur art (in case nobody noticed), and I live in Washington state. I wanted to do something to celebrate Washington's first and only dinosaur fossil discovery. Stickers and prints are available in my store: www.emmalerae.com

I finally watched Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma last night, and like any good movie, it's burrowed into my brain and I've been thinking about it all day. AKA, my wife is out of town and I'm watching all the fun movies.
