Monkey King

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.

    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!)
