The Natural History Museum has launched “The Dinosaur Collection” in its web shop and at the Museum – and includes t-shirts comic creator Steve White created the retro dinosaurs for.
A collection inspired by dinosaurs, bringing ancient creatures to life through designs on our organic cotton clothing, there are quite a few dinosaur designs to choose from, all featuring real ancient beasts, with more to come.
Steve White has worked in the comics industry for over three decades, his career starting at the offices of Marvel UK in 1986. Working his way up from colour separator – a discipline now lost in the mists of time – to senior editor, colourist and writer, his credits range across a plethora of titles for both Marvel US and UK, from Care Bears to The Knights of Pendragon. After Marvel, he worked in the UK offices of Tundra and as senior editor at Titan Comics., and as a senior editor at Hachette Partworks.
Today, he’s perhaps known more widely as an illustrator and artist, specialising in creating incredible natural history art, and since departing Titan in 2016, has seen his artistic career gather deserved momentum.
His projects include Mesozoic Art: Dinosaurs and Other Ancient Animals in Art, co-edited with zoologist Darren Naish, published by Bloomsbury. Mesozoic Art II (AmazonUK Affiliate Link), also edited by Steve and Darren, will be published in September.
Steve self published The Bone Cabin Chronicles, an A-Z of dark poetry inspired by Edward Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies in 2023, a book that details the rich and varied ways prehistoric animals could meet their end.
