Finally finished this little watercolor sketchbook. I used most of it to do little studies while working as a framer, to keep my skills up. I developed a way to paint loose with acrylics, but be able to scale that looseness up in size for professional work. Pentalic makes great watercolor sketchbooks. I can see why Gurney uses them. :D #art #myart #watercolorsketchbook #studies #framer #skills #acrylics #cabbage #tiger #guyver #evagreen #psycho #wolf #jamesgurney #pentalic https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdZPJ8DlG_/?igshid=1be1s5q9n9avi

3 things I miss the most about Baguio City - family, food (Good Taste FTW!), and book sales! Been searching for this book for a long time already and I was surprised to find a copy in a used books shop. James Gurney's (@jamesgurneyart) illustrations are truly mindblowing. I hope my daughter would grow up liking dinosaurs too! #dinotopia #jamesgurney #illustrations #art #painting https://www.instagram.com/p/B1K3OB8A5yN/?igshid=ykecr23tlvr6

Loki had three terrible children: Hel, the goddess of the underworld, Jormugandr, a serpent that was so large that it encircled the entire world, and a great wolf named Fenrir. Fearful of Fenrir, the Gods raised him in Asgard, where they could keep a close watch on him. Fenrir was ravenous, and grew at an alarming rate. The gods then decided that Fenrir would have to be imprisoned, lest he devour the whole world. They took Fenrir to a secluded place and made as if they were playing a game; they would tie Fenrir down and he, with his immense strength, would break free. Then the gods produced a suspiciously thin chain. Though the great wolf didn’t know, the gods had asked the dwarves to make a magical, unbreakable chain. Fenrir agreed to be bound, but only if one of the gods would place their hand in his mouth. Fenrir agreed that he would release the hand when he was free. The god Tyr, a warrior god, was the only one willing to comply, and when Fenrir found he could not escape, he bit off Tyr’s hand. Tyr then became not just a god of war, but a god of Justice and Law–and Fenrir remained bound until Ragnarok.

Some of the gorgeous art in James Gurney's Dinotopia, with a real summer vibe for this New England winter. #dinotopia #jamesgurney #picturebook #dinosaur #kite #illustration #brontosaurus

Today I had the honor to go out paint with master gouache illustration extraordinaire James Gurney and a group of talented people from DreamWorks for his workshop Concepting in the Wild! Fun times!
