A paleoartist is an illustrator who specialises in the science and art of reconstructing ancient animals and their world.
In Dinosaur Art, ten of the top contemporary paleoartists reveal a selection of their work and exclusively discuss their working methods and distinct styles.
Filled with breathtaking artwork - some never before seen - and cutting edge paleontology, this is a treasure trove for dinosaur enthusiasts, art lovers and budding illustrators.
White has edited, written and illustrated comics, magazines and books for a quarter of a century. He has drawn dinosaurs since he was four, for fun and professionally, and has been called the John Milius of paleoart (by fellow paleoartist Dan Varner). He is currently a senior editor for Titan magazines.
