Ginkgo and Dragonfly Endpapers


Here's some more pen and ink art for the endpapers of “Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara.” The dragonfly, ginkgoes, and horsetail ferns are from the time of dinosaurs.

Beautiful and inspiring ink work, James. Does some of your pen work incorporate scratchboard? Some of it looks like it might have (though I know you could have accomplished the same effect with the pen and/or brush alone).

Hey, Tom, great to hear from you. Yes, the one on the Speedball site of the church is scratchboard, obviously inspired by Franklin Booth. Funny thing about Booth, he did most of his images in pen and ink, imitating woodcuts.
