I’m honored and grateful to receive the Monkey King award from CICAF, the annual animation festival in Hangzhou, China.
The painting that won the award is “Desert Crossing,” from Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara.
Next time I visit a troupe of wild monkeys, I will now demand respect as their true sovereign. I will not tolerate the lèse-majesté that happened on the previous occasion.

Now that is a prestigious award indeed!
Congrats, Mr Gurney! But you missed out a stroke on top of the second character in the Chinese phrase. :-P
Good eye, Jess. Maybe the monkey took the stroke!
It's nice to visit your blog and see that you are receiving proper tributes :-)
But seriously, I appreciate your wide-ranging interests, your generosity, and your thoughtful approach to making and considering art. (Good qualities, whether for monkey kings or others!)
