Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends. I've so enjoyed your blog posts, and learned so much from you this year, I can't thank you enough for all you do. I love this Santa, amazing details right down to the scruffy boots and the dinosaur in the toy bag.
Merry Christmas to you and Jeanette as well! Thank you for all you do for us with all your great posts, videos and books! Great Santa, by the way! ! ! :)
Love Santa's scuffed boots. He looks so...well, real. And he is real, of course! Many thanks to you for the huge amount of information and inspiration you share throughout the year. I enjoy your blog very much. Best of the season to you and your family!
Merry Christmas James! And thank you (and others) for sharing your insights, knowledge and even questions! 2015 was an exciting year (older dog, new tricks). Can't wait to see what 2016 brings.
Merry Christmas and thanks so much for your time and effort on this blog... even though I've bought some videos and books in return... I still feel like I'm getting the better end of the deal.
Merry Christmas to you all!!! I just got your book, "Color and Light", in Mandarin version. It's very struggle for me to make a decision between English and Mandarin because all the book store sealed the book with plastic wrap. I couldn't check the quality of translation before buying. At the end I like it and the translation is very professional.
A Dinotopia Christmas miracle! I was at a relative's house for Christmas Eve. Upon entering one of the bedrooms I saw three beautiful Dinotopia original artworks! At first I thought they were prints, but my wife's aunt told the story of helping with a Dinotopia exhihit at a mall here in Utah. Later on she was able to buy the three pieces I saw. What fun it was to see beautiful work when I least expected it. Thanks for always inspiring!

Merry Christmas! This is an overwhelmingly- executed image; may I ask when it was made? (omg the boots, Man!)
