J’aurais tellement aimé découvrir #dinotopia à sa sortie, quand j’avais à peine 10 ans et que les dinosaures étaient ma principale passion... aujourd'hui encore ça reste tellement cool à lire, et le travail graphique de #jamesgurney, sur les lumières notamment, est vraiment magnifique.

I'm finally reading James Gurney's 1992 #Dinotopia for the very first time, and I'm surprised to see how exactly similar it is in look and feel to one of my favorite books from my own childhood, Wil Huygen's 1977 #Gnomes (although upon reflection, it makes sense, given that only 15 years separates the two books' original publication dates).

I think this was my best work so far.
Inspired by the book Dinotopia, which I loved as a child. Hand sculpted from Super Sculpey polymer clay and painted.

Habe ich mich gerade mit meiner Frau über Büchereien unterhalten, erzählt, dass meine Mutter mir unendlich oft #Dinotopia ausleihen musste, mich dann daran erinnert, dass ich nun selbst ein Kind habe, dem ich die Bücher zeigen will – und deshalb gerade alle Dinotopia-Bände gekauft?

Ja.

Episode 42: Dinotopia Dreaming

It’s time for a nostalgia kick. Travis and Alyssa discuss James Gurney’s Dinotopia: an idealised vision of a world where humans and dinosaurs peacefully co-exist and everyone has their place. We explore the storytelling approaches, links to other media and what Dinotopia could look life if it were written today.
