James Gurney
James Gurney (born June 14, 1958) is an artist and author best known for his illustrated book series Dinotopia, which is presented in the form of a 19th-century explorer’s journal from an island utopia cohabited by humans and dinosaurs. He lives in Rhinebeck, New York, in the Hudson Valley of New York State.
==Early life==
Gurney grew up in Palo Alto, California, the youngest of five children of Joanna and Robert Gurney, a mechanical engineer.〔Jackson, Donald Dale. "Daring Deeds, Bold Dreams, in a Land Removed from Time", page 73. Smithsonian, September 1995〕 Encouraged to tinker in the workshop, he built puppets, gliders, masks, and kites, and taught himself to draw by means of books about the illustrators Howard Pyle and Norman Rockwell.
He studied archaeology at the University of California, Berkeley, receiving a BA in Anthropology with Phi Beta Kappa honors in 1979. He then studied illustration at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California for a couple of semesters. Prompted by a cross-country adventure on freight trains, he and Thomas Kinkade coauthored ''The Artist’s Guide to Sketching'' in 1982. Gurney and Kinkade also worked as painters of background scenes〔Bensimhon, M. “Living with Dinosaurs: Inside the Mind of a Man who Makes Fantasy Seem Real", page 54. Life Magazine, October 1992〕 for the animated film ''Fire and Ice'', co-produced by Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta.
