“The job of the artist, then, in composing pictures about
people is to use abstract tools to reinforce the viewer’s natural
desire to seek out a face and a story.”
James Gurney, author and illustrator of the New York Times
best seller Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time, saw his
rst dinosaur, a towering allosaurus skeleton, when he
was eight years old. He’s been hooked on paleontology
ever since.
