Hello. I’m Andy - an illustrator of dragons and dinosaurs. You can find me and my stuff in these places: andyfrazer.com etsy.com/uk/shop/dragon… patreon.com/dragonsofwales

Fancy a big book full of dinosaurs? Of course you do: dragonsofwales.etsy.com/listing/438142…

It's true, my 'Theropod dinosaur diversity of the lower English Wealden', co-authored with Chris Barker, Neil Gostling and colleagues, is a #TopViewedArticle at #PapersinPalaeontology, and here's the certificate to prove it... congrats to us all. #dinosaurs #fossils

@ArminSchmitt Thank you.

@DragonsofWales Looks great, as always.

Achillobator giganticus - a large Mongolian dromaeosaurid dinosaur. This was a private commission and the client supplied fantastic references for the colour scheme and general design, but allowed me complete freedom to interpret this in my own style.

Vicky Coules will be hosting a talk at #DinoConUK 2026 about the first animated dinosaurs. Vicky is a writer and artist researching the representation of dinosaurs in visual culture, based in the Departments of History of Art and Palaeontology at the University of Bristol.

@420_221B 🙏

@DragonsofWales The gular pouch, the crest and the feathers... naaa this is too good. Insane work.

Chasing turtles. Megalosaurus bucklandii.

Shoutout to Etsy’s advertising algorithm, which is spamming me to buy MY OWN BOOKS. Maybe send these emails to, I dunno, literally anyone else. 🙄

If you’re looking for a gift for that young dinosaur artist in your life… (Details in my pinned post).

@Rev_ADB Thank you! We don’t have any preserved nasal bones for Megalosaurus or its nearest relatives so we can’t know for sure, but many closely adjacent species certainly had crests so it’s highly probable that Megalosaurus could have too. Glad you like it. 🙏

A sagittal crest on a Megalosaurus? I love it!

So, not much going on then… 😮(sarcasm). If you haven’t already, get your tickets booked now - it’s going to be amazing.

Just wanted to take a sec to let folks know what exactly I do in paleontology! My main thing is volunteering at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Here I do fossil prep and outreach, plus two secret projects I’m working on/helping with 👀

Just a reminder that if you want dragon books, I got dragon books 😉👇 dragonsofwales.etsy.com/listing/151779…

Bullshit. You knew what you were doing. You posted a picture of the Aberfan tragedy to score cheap points on social media. If there is any justice, this will be the end of your sorry, flat-lining career.

Ab Antiquo is here: my latest collection of palaeoart, and if the reviews are to be believed, it’s not too bad. All the details are in my pinned post.

A video about a cup… that isn’t about a cup at all. instagram.com/reel/DYCdZA4ti…

@UroborosJose “Self published AI author” 🙄 Take a seat.

@DragonsofWales you are shortsighted.

Dear AI user who just messaged me: I really don’t care how “cool” you think my work is, the answer is “NO”. I don’t want to collaborate on your new project, especially when in this context “collaborate” means you feeding my work into your slop machine to animate it. 😖

@Seedmanc Hush, child. The grown-ups are talking. 🤫

@DragonsofWales the mediocrity is speaking if you're concerned more about your monetary gain (and loss of it due to AI competition), you're no artist, but a mere artisan

Today’s slice of painful idiocy.

@TierZoo Yeah, same here with my art. I used to engage with those people and try to explain, but I’ve given up trying. People can choose to believe me or not, I don’t have to prove my innocence to anyone, least of all reply guys on social media.

@DragonsofWales The worst part is, even when we succeed in endeavors to avoid lazy use of generative AI, we will continue to be accused of using it anyway. I get hundreds of comments saying I fake my voiceovers now!

YOOOOOOOO 1/10 WE ARE BACK IN WAYS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT POSSIBLE
