Join us for a Dino-mite First Friday event with illustrator and paleo artist, Jason C. Poole!
Jason has worn many hats: Adjunct Professor of Paleontology, scientific illustrator, art teacher, and paleontology field instructor. He has excavated dinosaurs on three continents, including Africa and South and North America. Paralititan, Dreadnoughtus, and Suuwassea are three dinosaurs Jason has worked on; all were new to science when discovered and two are supermassive titanosaurs. Jason is also a Paleontological Artist who’s been published in National Geographic and whose art work appears in many museum and private collections.
Jason resides in Missoula and can often be found sketching in the studio and the great outdoors. Or you may find him at MNHC: Jason has taught various drawing and painting classes, has hosted lectures on Montana’s ancient past, and is currently spending Tuesdays-Fridays at MNHC preparing and conserving 150-million-year-old dinosaur fossils collected by Elevation Science Institute in Carbon County, Montana, during the 2024 field season.
Signed or personalized copies of Jason’s education and coloring books will be available for purchase (authored by Jason P. Schein of Elevation Science Institute), along with one-of-a-kind artwork. Jason’s knowledge and enthusiasm about the prehistoric world and its wildlife are contagious! Bring your questions and curiosity and we’ll see you on Friday, February 7th!
Light snacks and beverages provided.
