the art of deep time with ray troll

In this episode we talk with the legendary paleo artist Ray Troll, whose drawings of dinosaurs, fossils, fish, and geologic rock formations have become iconic all around the world. He's produced numerous books, most notably "Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway" and "Cruisin' the Fossil Coastline," both collaborations with Dr. Kirk Johnson, director of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. We talk about his influences and how he goes about trying to convey the enormity of deep time in a single image. We also break down our song "Back to the Beginning" and there's even some Scottish accents that find their way into this episode. It's got it all! Onward!!!
