James Gurney
Portrait of Will and Arthur 1992
James Gurney strives to create a sense of
believability in his art, making the world of Dinotopia real for
his readers. "Ever since my parents first set me in a
sandbox, it has been my dream to create a whole world, complete
in every detail," he has said. Here, the author has
captured his protagonists, Arthur and Will Denison, in what
appears to be a worn and water-logged photograph that has fallen
out of the mysterious journal.
