as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine

[forcekenobi]

"Nor did we expect the story of the galactic republic’s decline to be so tedious and technocratic, involving trade embargos, boring speeches to the senate" laments The Guardian's Ben Child in 2024 May. In 2025 April:

solidarity for butches with no mechanical skills and no back muscles just a big stupid heart and big stupid brown eyes. and big stupid sub top tendencies

i think it's fine to show up a little buzzed for work, but only if it's the kind of work that doesn't require the full use of your faculties. like if all you do all day is routine coronary angioplasties, or you're just performing the same route motions on a ballistics assembly line, fine! show up with a flask on your hip and take sips in your down time. but if you're running the griddle at waffle house you need to sober the fuck up and lock the fuck in.

Dinotopia is a fictional utopia created by author and illustrator James Gurney. It is the setting for the book series with which it shares its name. Dinotopia is an isolated island inhabited by shipwrecked humans and sentient dinosaurus who have learned to coexist peacefully as a single symbiotic society. The first book has “appeared in 18 languages in more than 30 countries and sold two million copies.”Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time and Dinotopia: The World Beneath both won Hugo awards for best original artwork.

God these images still send this ENTIRE thrill through me. They just evoke that feeling of being a child with a book too large for you, staying for so long on a single picture that you feel like you could turn around in it.

Gurney consistently produces a world that feels completely reasonable and real. The color, the light, the relationships between fore- and background,

the fact that it seems like a real world, where people are engaging in perfectly reasonable cultural activities…

The natural gestures, implying the personalities and relationships of characters in a single image…

And it’s quite creative. I mean, look at this pair of bagel sellers. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SELL BAGELS?

I feel like there is so much to learn from the way Gurney does his work - his blog is here http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com

it is a delight to watch him paint !

for a handy print book, Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter has been recommended to me by several pro illustrators whose work relies on realist picturing with convincing deep space
