The episode opens in the helicoid geochronograph, a water-powered machine that keeps track of time.
We meet Nallab and Enit, librarians of Dinotopia, who show Arthur their scroll-reading machine.
This acoustic adventure was produced by Tom Lopez, mastermind of the ZBS Foundation, with an original music track by composer Tim Clark.

You can also order the original book from my web store and I'll sign it for you. It's the ultimate holiday gift for the imaginative person in your life. (US orders only for the book, please).
James Gurney, love your blog and am learning so much about art from it. I tout your knowledge to all my art friends as well as our Island Sketching group. We live in Victoria British Columbia, just over the border from Washington state. You are our hero. However, I can't order your book. Why? Do you have a problems with your Canadian fans?
ReplyDeleteBrian, no problem with Canadian fans, just with the US Postal Service.
ReplyDeleteThe price of shipping the book is more than the price of the book itself, losses are common, and the custom forms are rather unwieldy, which makes sending books out of the country a practical impossibility.
One thing some Canadian customers have done is to ship the book to a US friend near the border, and then pick it from them. Hope that helps, and thanks for the kind words.
James, thanks for your advise. I do have many friends in the US (my wife is from New York) but not near our nearest border. Perhaps I'll order it from Canadian Amazon. $19.75 Canadian dollar. But then I won't have your prized autograph.
ReplyDeleteBy-the-way I have some links to a couple of your Youtube films on our sketching web site. Hope you don't mind. They are an inspiration. Thanks for everything.
This is so awesome! This brings back memories of my dad reading Dinotopia to me before bed. :3 I never ceased to be amazed by the creativity of this blog and Mr. Gurney.
