No evidence of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources per general notability guidelines. Although I cannot yet assess Dinosaur Art II, passing mentions or credited illustrations (as seen in The Atlantic and The Guardian is not significant coverage. And even if Dinosaur Art II is in depth, that's still just one source, meaning Wikipedia would be effectively promoting a single book's view. The artist certainly has gained some recognition, e.g. in blogs, Tumblr, and artist websites, but a WP:BEFORE search failed to find reliable coverage. Artist interviews (which are non-independent) appear at a blog and Polyfield Magazine, an online project that appears designed to promote artists ("we provide a platform for creators working within this emerging genre to share their practice with a global audience.") --Animalparty!

He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention. WP:TOOSOON I added another sentence and citation, but it is not enough to raise him to notable.

Delete - Very few citations, does not meet WP:NARTIST. Samanthany (talk) 00:40, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Delete - I'm not finding that this artist meets our notability requirements for WP:NARTIST. The work is nice but it is WP:TOOSOON for an article. Giving work to a museum is not the same as it being acquired by a curatorial process. There is no record of significant exhibitions, nor critical/analytical discouse about his work from art historians. Perhaps in a few years there will be enough coverage for an article, but not now.
