One of things that I love about the animorphs is that they're teens and they're very clearly teens.

Like Jake going: "I'm just going to casually slide into my locker. But in a cool way. No one can think I'm lame!"

Or Tobias: "Oh no, my kind-of girlfriend caught me doing something embarrassing. Better pretend I'm a different bird. Nope, not me Tobias. I am clearly an entirely different red-tailed hawk."

Or Cassie: "I accidentally turned in a page with J+C written on it. The only solution is to break into my teacher's house in morph to retrieve it."

Just. BABIES. I love them.

TITANIC (1997) dir. James Cameron

[moonwyvernarchive]

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
