The Artwork Of The Week this week is a very recent illustration of a titanoboa eating a sarcosuchus, made by James Gurney for the October 2009 issue of the magazine Ranger Rick.
Titanoboa, 2009. James Gurney. Oil, 14in x19in. Supposedly published in the October 2009 issue of the Ranger Rick magazine (but I can’t find the issue to check because it’s all locked behind paywalls of all kinds). Can be found on James Gurney’s blogspot site, though.
I was unable to find an electronic version of the work that I could cite from, and since I still have to figure out how to properly cite modern works, I cannot include a photo of Titanoboa. However, I originally encountered the work on Tumblr and the post provided a link to Gurney’s blogspot, where he detailed the process of creating the work. Check out his site to see explorations and explanations of art and artists much more comprehensive than I offer here!
