Watch Dinosaurs Create Art Live! Experience real dinosaurs painting for a cause—one mouthstroke at a time. At The Painting Dinosaurs, we are dedicated to making a difference. Your support fuels our mission to empower survivors of trafficking.
The Painting Dinosaurs isn't just a live show or viral sensation—it's a
MOVEMENT.
Our Jurassic-sized T. rex, Tiny, and the
adorable baby dino crew create real paintings using custom-designed rigs
and creative puppetry. Whether stomping solo or teaming up with special
guests, every dino brings heart, humor, and serious talent to the
canvas.
It all began with a joke—"What if a
professional artist painted inside a life-sized dinosaur walking
puppet?" That laugh turned into a living, roaring canvas... and a
Mission that Matters.
Every stomp, splatter, and
swirl helps fund safe housing, trauma therapy, and creative recovery for
survivors of sex trafficking.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT! Book
a show. Collect the art. Or come paint with the dinos yourself—and make
a little history -- change a life!

"I thought it was just a kids’ show—until I saw a dinosaur paint a masterpiece with its mouth. I laughed, I teared up, and I left inspired. These dinos have heart… and talent!"
Scott Watson
Incredible experience. The dinos are impressive, the art is real, and the cause is powerful. It's fun with a deeper purpose—and that's rare. Highly recommend.
…
It started as a wild idea—"What if a dinosaur could paint?" — and turned
into something bigger than we ever imagined.
Our dinosaurs
don't just entertain—they heal, connect, and inspire.
Each
original painting is auctioned live or offered as fine art prints and
playful merch, with every sale helping fund safe housing, trauma care,
and creative recovery for survivors of sex trafficking.
Every 30 seconds, someone becomes a victim of human
trafficking—and many of them are children. Survivors often face years of
trauma, fear, and broken trust. That's why we use creativity and
community to bring light, dignity, and joy back into their lives.
Behind the color and laughter is something powerful:
HOPE.
Whether you're watching, collecting, sharing, or
giving—you're part of the story. Every laugh shared, every brushstroke
bought, every gift of support helps rewrite someone's future.
