I wanted to show the misty atmosphere of the setting without a full rectangular shaped composition, so I used a "torn paper vignette," cutting out a ragged piece of the background behind Will and his skybax.

Hi James! A question that’s been on my mind for a while now is: with all the painting you still do and the popularity of Dinotopia, why don’t you paint it anymore? Even if it wasn’t a new story, I feel like there is still so much more to learn about this wonderful place you created. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDear james,
ReplyDeleteI think your dinotopia illustrations are soft and lovely!
I ask permission to use one for reference for a mural in my newest grandson' room, due in march.
Thanks.
Lucy coates.
P.s.
Thanks for all the beauty you put out into the world.
