This digital illustration of a Dinosaur Santa was created in Oct 2013. It is painted to A4 size in photoshop, and shows a Dinosaur, based around a T-Rex, dressed as Santa Claus stomping through the winter snow. He is carrying a large sack on his back, full of gifts for lots of little dinosaurs. As well as the usual red costume the Dinosaur Santa is also donning a pair of half moon glasses and a big white beard. The full moon gives some illumination to the scene and the Northern lights in the sky provide a colourful backdrop.

The Luncheon on the Grass with dinosaurs

This digital illustration is based on the famous painting by Édouard Manet, titled Le déjeuner sur l'herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass). In my version though I have taken a comical slant and replaced the original figures with cartoon dinosaurs instead.
A larger version of the artwork can be seen here.
A time lapse movie was also created showing the painting being painted in built up in photoshop. It lasts for under 2 mins.
