Here you go, Lisa. (Link to YouTube) This video tours you through one of my recent painted sketchbooks, "Court Report."
It's a cross-platform app that lets you experience a sketchbook with scalable art, audio commentary, background info, and behind-the-scenes videos. It's now available for both Apple and Google devices. Note: The iOS version has all 25 videos because Apple apps don’t have a data limit. Unfortunately because of the 100MB limit on Android, we had to limit the videos on that platform to five.

“This app is outstanding! One of my favorite aspects of James Gurney's videos is getting the opportunity to hear his thoughts about the pieces he is painting. I love that I can get that same experience while enjoying the detailed views of the high-resolution sketches in the app.” —Jon Schindehette, Art Director, Art Order
“It’s as nice as having James’s sketchbook in my hands! Only with the added bonus of actually being able to see him manipulate the image. Having followed many of these pieces and seeing the originals in some cases, I find that this is a really helpful tool to see how he paints in real life and being able to examine the images at my leisure to see the way that the final brushstrokes are put down. I hope that James adds more sketchbooks and/or pages so that I can get even more inspiration from his work.” —Michael Mrak, Design Director, Scientific American

Do you plan to release a bundle of all three volumes like you did for the first two?
So much thought went into all these sketchbooks.
Didn't want to left this unobserved.
How did Wordsworth's line on Charles Darwin read:
"Voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone".
Rich, wow, what a fascinating quote. What did you mean, that each of us in our sketchbooks is traveling a sea of our own thoughts as Wordsworth did when he was in college contemplating Darwin or Newton?
I think a sketchbook is a kind of track of a person's thoughts. Maybe that's why we all like to watch videos where the artist flips through them and talk about what inspired each drawing.
ROTM81, not sure, because each bundle has to be submitted to Apple separately, and it can become kind of complicated to have all these separate offers.
Thanks for getting back to me on the bundle question... I understand completely!
Do you plan on offering this on gumroad as a pdf and video like you did with Metro North? I don't have a tablet, and viewing your sketchbooks on my old and tiny phone isn't adequate.
I recall you spent some time in Australia whilst working on dinosaur stamps. Did you do any sketchbook or other painting here?
Hi James,
I was cleaning out unused Apps from my iPad mini and I saw your Living Sketchbook, vol. 1 and 2. I wanted to read through it again but the apps are missing and it no longer exist in the Apple Store. Your name does not come up in the search either.
Did something happen?
Can I download volume 1 and 2 some other way like a PDF?
Is Volume 3 available for Apple iPad mini 6?
thanks, Henry
Hi, Henry,
Please email me privately (address on lower left of blog) and I'll help you sort it out.

Hello James,
I’m also having the same issues. I had the apps for a while but it wouldn’t let me open it again as it’s not on the apple app store anymore. Is there anyway I can buy all three as pdf?
Thanks James.
Best,
Eliz
Hi, Eliza, Wish I understood the details well enough to help you figure out what's going on with the app, but I remember my tech person saying that Apple makes it really hard for small publishers to keep things going in the store.
