Steampunk Miyazaki

That's cool! Animation background painting legend Kazuo Oga and his team painted a model of Goldsworthy Gurney's Royal Patent steam carriage (right, circa 1830) in one of their background shots for Hayao Miyazaki's Secret World of Arrietty (detail, left).

Cool! Are you genetically related to Sir Goldsworthy Gurney?! My guess is YES! - mp

The painting is almost as cool as the name "Goldsworthy Gurney"!

Cassidy gave me "Color and Light" for Christmas--yea! Thanks for the little sketch!

MP, We can trace our line back to England, which is where Goldsworthy was from, but haven't found the exact connection with him yet. Gurney's a pretty unusual name, which ultimately traces back to France.

Suzy, glad you enjoy it.
