Charles R. Knight, who lived from 187 to 1953, is famous for his ground-breaking depictions of dinosaur, prehistoric animals, and wildlife. Known as the father of paleo-art, Knight was commissioned by scientists to restore living animals from the fossil records, often putting flesh to bone for the first time. Millions of people are exposed annually to this artist's works in major institutions around the world including the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum of Natural History, and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.

In 2005, I was approached by Rhoda Knight Kalt, granddaughter of Charles R. Knight, and executor of his estate. We are collaborating on producing fully-authorized models of his works. Tyrannosaurus Rex is the first of that series. Since Knight’s paintings inspired the dinosaurs in King Kong, and the Harryhausen films, it seemed appropriate for me to take on this project.

Tyrannosaurus Rex is produced by Mike Evans, one of the finest resin casters out there, and can be purchased from The Alchemy Works.

Also available from Alchemy is my battling sabre-tooth cats sculpture, ‘Sabre-duel’, which is inspired by the smilodon paintings of Knight.
