An artist has created a mural of a Triceratops on Dorset's Jurassic Coast as part of a launch of David Attenborough's TV show for Apple TV+.

The large-scale Triceratops mural, which is best seen by drone was created at East Man, next to Winspit Quarry near Worth Matravers on Dorset's Jurassic Coast.

The artwork was just one of three created across the globe to celebrate the release of the documentary, with a T.Rex also created in Utah and a Hatzegopteryx created in Finland.

The artworks are featured in the second season of Prehistoric Planet which premiered on Apple TV+ today (May 22).

Created by natural artist David Popa, the large-scale murals celebrate the incredible natural history of planet Earth.

Artist David Popa is the son of one of the first New York graffiti writers and uses some of the same techniques to create his sustainable artworks.

He creates huge pictures on actual landscapes using the same sustainable materials used by cavemen in their cave paintings such as chalk, charcoal, and earth pigments – all of which wash away with the rain leaving zero trace - making his artwork totally unique.

This Triceratops artwork was created around May 14 at East Man and will have likely washed away now.

A video of David creating his artwork can be seen here.

David Popa said: "The Jurassic Coast in Dorset is an area renowned for being one of the best fossil-collecting sites in the world.

"I have been seriously creating these works since 2019 but experimented with these materials first in 2016. One piece can take 4 to 40 hours to complete depending on complexity. 

“For this project in particular, each dinosaur artwork took over 12 hours to complete. The T-Rex took the longest due to its gigantic scale.”

"I have always had a thing for Triceratops.

"I had been sketching a drawing of one with my kids a month before I was approached for this project, which felt like such crazy timing.

"The love for him certainly helped, as it was incredibly hard making him come to life on the Jurassic Coast in the UK.

"The varied rock formations with twisting and bending shapes and even multiple levels had me really doubting if I had what it took to make my favourite dinosaur come to life, but I’m really pleased with the final result.”
