I am sick, I am not able to stay home and get well, and I am at the end of my patience.
None of this matters right now, though, because I have a whole half-hour for what ought to be lunch and I am going to spend it writing, instead. (Of course, the half-hour could be nullified with a single phone call from the boss, so I'd better write quickly.)
The Contest
I'm keeping the contest open through the weekend and will announce a winner on Tuesday. Entries have been coming in at a quick clip, and I've been laughing a lot when I check the mail. I need the laughs this week, so thank you all more than you can imagine.
The prize, which I hope the winner will feel is actually a prize, will be an original drawing, newly created for the contest. (What did you think I was going to give away? A poncho?)
To keep sane (and also because it suddenly seems to be a part-time job) I've been drawing every night. I should be working on photographs, but I'm not set up to deal with Photoshop while lying in bed.
Most of what goes into my sketchbook doesn't show up on a shirt or even in the blog. It's really just doodling, although doodling in this case serves two purposes:
- It increases the fluidity and facility with which I draw, much as daily weight workouts give a bodybuilder the ability to lift more weight with greater ease. Unfortunately, drawing does nothing for the abs, or I could give this Web design s--t up and do porn for a living.
- It pulls new ideas out of what I will, for lack of a less pretentious term, call my subconscious. Half the time when the pen hits the paper, I don't really know what I'm going to draw. I just start making lines. And sometimes when I'm done I'm surprised by what's there. Sometimes it's good, and may turn into a finished cartoon. Sometimes, on the other hand, I consider running the paper through the shredder. Twice.
I have no idea where she came from. I thought I was drawing a sheep.
Judging from the date elsewhere on the page, I'd just sat through an interminable conference call at the end of which the only decision made was to schedule another meeting. I was clearly longing for greener pastures.
Before I really got to know a lot of knitters, I would have thought this to be an absurd idea. Now, I'm not so sure. There are probably four or five women reading my blog who have actually done this.
In case you can't read my scribble (I was on the subway) the caption reads, "little [sic] Intarsia's mother loved to knit." Weird. But maybe she could become the heroine of a series of children's books. Little Intarsia Goes to Rhinebeck. Little Intarsia's Very Special Christmas Sweater. Little Intarsia Meets Nancy Bush. Little Intarsia and the Case of the Wacky Ball-Winder.
She'd have to have spunk, like Eloise. An attitude. No way I'm drawing a whiny little twit like Caillou, or that namby-pamby Linnea who keeps mucking about in Monet's garden.
Oh God, I'm so crabby today. Sorry, folks. Nothing a weekend cuddling with C won't fix.
See you Monday. Kisses.

North Carolina offers three targeted tax relief programs: Elderly/Disabled Exclusion, Disabled Veteran's Exclusion, and Circuit Breaker.
North Carolina excludes from property taxes a portion of the appraised value of a permanent residence owned and occupied by North Carolina residents aged 65 or older or totally and permanently disabled whose income does not exceed $37,900 annually. The amount of the appraised value of the residence that may be excluded from taxation is the greater of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) or fifty percent (50%) of the appraised value of the residence. Income is defined as monies received from every source including Social Security benefits, retirement payments, proceeds from insurance policies, interest, dividends, etc. It does not include gifts or inheritances from a spouse or immediate family member.
To apply for this exclusion, you may print an application which you can complete and return to us. To apply for this exclusion due to disability, you must attach a certificate which certifies that you are totally and permanently disabled from a physician licensed as a medical doctor in North Carolina or a governmental agency authorized to make such a determination. The deadline for submitting applications is June 1. You will receive written notification if the application is denied.
If you have previously received this exclusion, you do not need to apply again unless you have changed your permanent residence. If you have received the exclusion, and your income now exceeds $37,900, you must notify our office. If you received the exclusion because you were totally and permanently disabled, and you are no longer totally and permanently disabled, you must notify our office.
If the person receiving the exclusion has died, the person required by law to list the property must notify our office. Failure to make any of the notices required by law before June 1, will result in penalties and interest.
North Carolina excludes from property taxes $45,000 of the appraised value of a permanent residence owned and occupied by an honorably discharged disabled veteran or the unmarried surviving spouse of an honorably discharged disabled veteran. A disabled Veteran is a Veteran who either (1) has 100% permanent total disability that is service-connected or (2) receives benefits for specially adapted housing under 38 U.S.C. 2101. Complete an Application for Property Tax Relief Form AV-9 for certification by the US Department of Veterans Affairs for a veteran who has a 100% total permanent, service-connected disability. The deadline for submitting applications is June 1.
For an owner whose income amount for the previous year does not exceed the income eligibility limit for the current year, which for the 2024 tax year is $37,900, the owner's taxes will be limited to four percent (4%) of the owner's income. For an owner whose income exceeds the income eligibility limit ($37,900) but does not exceed 150% of the income eligibility limit, which for the 2024 tax year is $56,850, the owner's taxes will be limited to five percent (5%) of the owner's income.
However, the taxes over the limitation amount are deferred and remain a lien on the property. The last three years of deferred taxes prior to a disqualifying event will become due and payable, with interest, on the date of the disqualifying event. Interest accrues on the deferred taxes as if they had been payable on the dates on which they would have originally become due. Disqualifying events are death of the owner, transfer of the property, and failure to use the property as the owner's permanent residence. Exceptions and special provisions apply. See G.S. 105-277.1B for the full text of the statute. The deadline for submitting applications is June 1.
An annual application is required for continued participation in the Circuit Break Program!
Every property owner claiming exemption from property taxes must establish that the property is entitled thereto. Any owner claiming exemption, with the exception of the United States Government, The State of North Carolina, and the counties and municipalities of the State, must file an application with the Tax Assessor's Office. If the property for which the exemption is claimed is appraised by the Department of Revenue, the application shall be filed with the Department. Applications are made available in person or by mail from the Tax Assessor's Office. The Department of Revenue or the Tax Assessor to whom the application is submitted shall review the application for approval or denial.
Approved applications are filed and made available to all taxing units within Forsyth County. The Tax Assessor maintains a tax scroll of all property that is granted tax relief through exemption. For further information regarding exempt properties, contact the Tax Assessor's Office at (336) 703-2300.

For Release
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today issued its list of state nonmember banks recently evaluated for compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The list covers evaluation ratings that the FDIC assigned to institutions in February 2021.
The CRA is a 1977 law intended to encourage insured banks and thrifts to meet local credit needs, including those of low– and moderate–income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations. As part of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), Congress mandated the public disclosure of an evaluation and rating for each bank or thrift that undergoes a CRA examination on or after July 1, 1990.
You may obtain a consolidated list of all state nonmember banks whose evaluations have been made publicly available since July 1, 1990, including the rating for each bank, or obtain a hard copy from FDIC's Public Information Center, 3501 Fairfax Drive, Room E-1002, Arlington, VA 22226 (877-275-3342 or 703-562-2200).
A copy of an individual bank's CRA evaluation is available directly from the bank, which is required by law to make the material available upon request, or from the FDIC's Public Information Center.

I don't know about you, but my headphones tend to be the free ones that come bundled with some other electronic purchase and then fall apart after a couple rounds with the kids and cats. (No, I know cats don't wear headphones — earbuds would just fall right in! — but that doesn't mean they don't think the cords are intriguing….)
But I've always wanted better. I even shop around for headphones from time to time and then get befuddled. That's why I was so excited to review the Monster N-Tune HD headphones in a cool candy blue.
I mention the color upfront, because: Whoa! I was seriously so happy to open the box and see that bright blueberry staring me in the face. It's such a sweet change from boring old black. (This candy colours collection also comes in cherry red, green apple, tangerine, and grape.)
I also love how old-school yet hip they are. When I was growing up (gather round, children!), I always loved my parents' huge, ear-covering headphones, but it seems like the world's gone earbud. It's refreshing to have banded headphones that are soft and cushy as they cover your ears.
You know that mentioning cats wearing earphones made me need to take a picture of it. |
But that's the fashion review. What about the function?
Once you slip them over your ears, the other sounds in your life are satisfyingly muffled, leaving you free to concentrate on the clarity of your music (or other audio pleasures). I cranked up some rock music, and all the songs sounded vibrant and free of distortion with a strong but not overpowering bass line. The middle tones are not quite as intense, and the highs are tamped down, but it's a sound that works well with most pop and rock music (which is what I tend to listen to, so I'm set). I find that guitar in particular (even acoustic) really shines.
As for durability, you're supposed to be able to twist them all around without breaking. I'm going to skip that for now, as I suspect my sons will be manhandling them for me quite enough in the future. Mikko's eyes lit up when he saw the candy blue color, so I promised him he could use them when I was done reviewing. As if I'd ever intentionally buy a six-year-old $150 headphones, am I right? But I have to admit, their looks are appealing! And since earbuds are problematic in little-kid ears, I think these will work a lot better for him — so we'll share.
Just a note if you're considering buying these for a little kid: My older son has a humongous head, the size of a teenager's, so I wouldn't buy them for kids with petite skulls, like my little dude. The band on these doesn't adjust down very far; I have a huge head, too, and I barely have to size these up any bigger. I'm astonished at just how large they adjust, to be honest — if you are Gargantu-Head, you have found your headphones!
My review on comfort is mixed. I have the worst time with headbands, period. I don't know how other girls stand them, because they give me an almost instant headache, no matter how big I stretch them. I think it must have to do with where it presses on my head. Anyway, I had the same problem with these headphones so had to adjust them farther back on my head so it wouldn't press on the headache points. But I did like the padding on my ears, and I have several odd piercings that weren't bothered.
Other features that are lovely: The headphones come with an included, solid-feeling and tangle-free 1/8" cord, which fits most laptops, phones, and tablets. If you want to plug it into a home stereo system, you'll need an adapter or a different cord. Fortunately, the cord unplugs from the headset, so replacing it is an easy option.
Two people can listen to the same music simultaneously, because each ear has its own cord input. Just link two pairs of headphones together. Kinda cool, huh?
There's a pause button included on the cord, so if a call comes in or you want to listen to someone speaking to you in person (whatevs), you can take a break from your music and then come right back in. It worked on my smartphone just as well as on iTunes on my laptop.
Plus, cats think they're delicious. |
These would make a really snazzy gift for an audiophile you love (really love), because they come in an impressive box. Oh, I know — but I really think presentation counts for a lot! They include a soft carrying pouch, and the cords in a little drawer. And I can't fail to mention again the delicious candy colors to choose from.
Neat-o! |

Color and Light Book
As you may have guessed, I'm creating another book to be a companion volume to Imaginative Realism. It's called Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter. It's all new art and all new material. I'll tell you more about what's in the book at the end of this post and in tomorrow's post.
About your input: we're not completely settled on the cover design. Please look at all of the following rough mockups and vote at left for the one you like best.
Sleeping Dino
Street Scene
Here are the big chapter titles:
Sources of Light
Light and Form
Elements of Color
Paint and Pigments
Color Relationships
Visual Perception
Surfaces and Effects
Atmospheric Effects
I look forward to your vote in the poll at left. More tomorrow!

I vote for the first one, Sleeping Dino. Some of the others would pigeonhole you into a niche (fantasy art, landscape art, etc.), but my guess is your book will be applicable to many styles, not any one niche. So very many people judge books by their covers! No point in limiting your audience unnecessarily.
- January 20, 2010 at 12:11 PM
- Steve said...
Great news! Looking forward to it.
I also vote for the image at the top. I feel it is the most compelling and distinctive. - January 20, 2010 at 12:19 PM
- Antti said...
I also vote for Sleeping Dino, best for the title. The last one also comes close.
- January 20, 2010 at 12:19 PM
"Lamplight" gets my vote. It is an image that implies consideration beyond but not exclusive of imaginative creatures and dynos.
- January 20, 2010 at 12:37 PM
- Allen Douglas said...
I agree.... the sleeping dino. For the genre-spanning subject matter and the type of lighting in that particular piece.
- January 20, 2010 at 12:44 PM
- Unknown said...
I vote for "Lamplight". The Sleeping Dino and Street Scene after that. Though they don't seem to be as balanced as Lamplight and thematically don't illustrate the title as well as the girl holding the lamp does.
- January 20, 2010 at 12:56 PM
- Marion said...
I vote for "Montage" as it shows the books usefulness whether you paint standard landscapes or fantasy or anything in between. This book will be useful. I look forward to it being published. I had your last book for christmas and I love it. So much information and all of it usefull and interesting.
- January 20, 2010 at 1:03 PM
- Daroo said...
Sleeping Dino is graceful, appealing and unique and is filled with light and color. It is very Gurney-esque and probably your best bet for a distinctive cover.
Street Scene is a very impressive painting and appeals to me more as a painter -- subtlety with light and color being a goal over simply bright and colorful. The one drawback is that on a book shelf, from a distance, the Street Scene cover might play as a photo.
Sunset is a very impressive painting, but as a "cover" for a painting book on light and color it seems to be a little bit of a cliche and could be confused with others I've seen.
Birdman is delightfully creepy -- but for many people creepy outweighs the delightful.
I like the montage idea -- but maybe substitute a dino sleeping detail for birdman or a figure/ portrait where the light and shadow is the dominant design element.
If you go with a single image for the cover, maybe you could fill the back cover with a montage of your color thumbnails (similar to page 34 of Imaginative Realism or pages 109 and 128 of Chandara) or smaller plein air studies where the emphasis is on the big shapes of color over realistic rendering. (I always turn a book over and look at the back before opening it up and if it surprises me with something different than the cover, I'm more likely to open it up. - January 20, 2010 at 1:24 PM
- laurghita said...
I think street scene truly look like a color/shadows theory, not like some background, composition or creature theory...
- January 20, 2010 at 1:34 PM
- Bjorn Nelissen said...
I voted for the street scene.
The first one with the sleeping dino does tell a lot about light and what color can do with light. What bugs me is the cut-off tail on the right. It immediately grabs my attention in a bad way and therefore diminishes my attention the meaning of what it is all about.
Birdman is too scary and too sci-fi. Would be a great image for a sci-fi art book, not a book that deals of light and color.
The montage approach is used in a lot of books dealing with illustration- and painting techniques. It's quite daring to put one image on the cover that just says it all. Stick with that idea James!
Sunset is a bit boring to me.
Lamplight again puts more emphasis on the fantasy-relation and mood just like the birdman image. This one is not so scary though.
The street scene does it all for me. The real cool stuff is happening on the upper-half of the building, especially in the part of the white roof. I would reconsider the typography. It looks as though you're scared to put the text on top of the image and therefore hiding vital parts of the image. Still placing the text on top of the image would be better than the current sketch. It looks like you've looked for the one place in the image where the text would do no harm and place it there. That is exactly what has happened, right? Well, it shows.
Be bold James! You already made a statement by putting just one image on the cover. Now don't get scared dealing with the text. You can go down in the size of the font so that it looks less bulky. - January 20, 2010 at 1:36 PM
- McLean Kendree said...
Street Scene for me.
Its a really sophisticated color palette. I also wonder if putting dinosaurs on the cover of this one might turn away artists who aren't really into "fantasy" art. For your last book, sure, thats what the book is all about. For this one a dinosaur cover could prove distracting for those in search of a "serious" book on color and light.
My 2 cents, anyway! Good luck! - January 20, 2010 at 1:37 PM
- Steve said...
Well, this is interesting. While doing the dishes after lunch, I had the same idea as Daroo, do a montage cover but include Sleeping Dino. It would show that Mr. Gurney is much more than dinosaurs...but it would include a brilliant example of one.
- January 20, 2010 at 1:39 PM
- Michael Dooney said...
I like the sleeping dino but I also like some kind of montage cover, but maybe substitute a dinotopia pick for the sci fi alien...ironically a lot of folks still dismiss sf art.
- January 20, 2010 at 1:40 PM
- M.A. said...
This makes me smile - to see the fantasy paintings next to the words "a guide for realist painters" -- somehow it tickles my funny bone. For that reason, I'd go with the non-fantasy covers. Either that or change the title to include your wonderful fantasy characters. :)
(Thanks for the smile), - January 20, 2010 at 1:47 PM
- Craig Daniels said...
Much as I like sleeping Dino I think you will reach a wider audience with montage. Although I like the idea of substituting in sleeping dinoas well.
- January 20, 2010 at 1:50 PM
- Torbjörn Källström said...
My favorites are sunset and lamplight. The dino is really nice but something makes me feel it doesn't quite "fit". Street scene is a really nice painting but at the same time I think it's not all too interesting and doesn't exactly screem "buy me!" which I suppose is the purpose of a cover.
So, as I said I'd go with either the sunset or lamplight. But sunset might appear a bit boring too, so perhaps lampligt is the best alternative. - January 20, 2010 at 1:56 PM
- ppinho said...
definitely the street scene, much more moodier...
- January 20, 2010 at 1:57 PM
- Kate Higgins said...
I love the sleeping dino and lamplight. Next to drawing hands, I find painting back light and light under (and on) water the most challenging. I am looking forward to this book
- January 20, 2010 at 2:04 PM
- Nicolas said...
The first one, sleeping Dino, is my favorite, it tells everything !
- January 20, 2010 at 2:05 PM
- r8r said...
I'd vote for the montage.
I think more potential buyers can relate to it. It also alludes to the many KINDS of realism that are possible to paint.
Much as I like the images of the dinos, the fairy princesses and whatnot, I think an arrangement of varied 'realisms' will serve the book better in the long run. - January 20, 2010 at 2:06 PM
- Kate Higgins said...
I like "lamplight" and "sleeping Dino" the best. Besides drawing hands, I find illustrating back light and light on and under water the most challenging. I will look forward to this book whatever the cover you choose.
- January 20, 2010 at 2:07 PM
- Larry said...
I vote for Street Scene. Of course, I love the painting, but I also think it best represents the subject matter and would appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers. You know that Gurney fans will buy it if it came with a plain brown paper cover. The genre specific covers might lead those not familiar with you or your blog (hard to believe right?) that the content might not relate to their work.
- January 20, 2010 at 2:08 PM
- Will Kelly said...
I think I may have accidentally voted twice, but I voted for the Sleeping Dino. I think it clearly illustrates the contents of the book - it's very colorful & uses light wonderfully.
Also the layout of typography & such really tie it in with the cover of IR which would really make the two look good together on the book shelf.
My second choice would be the Lamplight scene.
And I am THRILLED to hear about a new book... Imaginative Realism is one of the best & most useful books that I've ever had on my bookshelf. Thanks so much, and here's to another great one! - January 20, 2010 at 2:15 PM
- Katharine said...
My vote goes to "Lamplight". It has appealing figures in an attractive environment, with a direct light source, which is tough to pull off.
If I had to make a second choice, I'd choose "Street Scene". I think this is a lovely painting. However, I may be biased; this reminds me of my hometown in upstate NY. - January 20, 2010 at 2:18 PM
- Sara Light-Waller said...
I love Sleeping Dino. I agree with Nancy that it wouldn't pigeonhole the book. There are so many painting books out there with beautiful covers it's nice to see one where you go..."Oh? What that's there? It's a different subject. And it's so beautifully rendered/painted." It would make want to look inside right away.
- January 20, 2010 at 2:25 PM
- Robb said...
Always wondered why you hadn't used some dino art for the cover of Imaginitive Realism - I think it's got broad appeal and can make a passer-by realize that this book might be by the author of Dinotopia. I think that series has enough popularity that it could help sales with this book through the cover.
- January 20, 2010 at 2:27 PM
- Huan said...
I'm for Lamplight... I've always loved the image and it seems less genre locked than the others.
(Honestly, I just think it would look great on my bookshelf.) - January 20, 2010 at 2:27 PM
- Brian said...
Sleeping Dino is my choice. You can really feel that sunlight shining down and enveloping the critter.
- January 20, 2010 at 2:28 PM
- Ilaria said...
Street Scene for me, I think it appeals both to painters and illustrators, the same can't be said about the other covers
- January 20, 2010 at 2:32 PM
- Lester Yocum said...
Gee, what a conundrum: Of all my exceptional examples of appealing, technically accurate, and award-winning work, which should I showcase? If only I had such problems!! :-)
"Montage" appeals to a broader market. Assuming you are not just targeting fantasy artists, this cover would appeal to most.
"Birdman" is probably on the "Montage" cover to broaden the range of colors and provide subject and gamut contrast, but the contrast seems too great. I recommend replacing it with "Sleeping Bird". You are dinosaurs; build off it. - January 20, 2010 at 2:39 PM
- Victor said...
Street scene is the one I voted for.
To me, that is the image where light itself seems to be the actual subject. - January 20, 2010 at 2:45 PM
- Lillian said...
I voted for Lamplight, but what I would really like to see is a montage that included Street Scene, Sleeping Dino and Lamplight. Those three show the most dramatic use of light (in my opinion) and the variety of subject matter the reader should hope to experience. Sunset is beautiful, but it seems more common and less likely to demand someone to pick it off the shelf. Birdman is interesting and well done, but it doesn't express the same wonderful use of light exhibited in the other three.
- January 20, 2010 at 2:46 PM
I like both Sleeping Dino and Street Scene. I don't know, for me the texture of the rock or gravel and it's color is just to amazing to pass up. Although I think Street Scene appeals to a wider variety of painters, I like Sleeping Dino. I'm really looking forward to this book!
- January 20, 2010 at 3:02 PM
- Beth said...
I like sleeping dino for a cover, because it is most unusual. I don't know that it is most attractive (I think the street scene is most easy on the eyes), but it is eye catching & distinctive, imho.
Beth - January 20, 2010 at 3:14 PM
- Susan Adsett said...
I voted for "Sleeping Dino" - interestingly enough, I didn't immediately see it as a dinosaur - I saw "sleeping exotic bird". So perhaps not everyone will associate it with dinosaurs/fantasy.
That being said - the montage is also a good idea, and like most, I would suggest replacing "Birdman" with "sleeping dino" "Street Scene" and "Sunset" are both great paintings, but as stand-alone covers they are a little bit too much like everything else out there on the topic. I think it's important to show that you're bringing something new to the table. "Sleeping Dino" does that well - very few people writing about color and light use animals as demos - they usually use landscapes and people. - January 20, 2010 at 3:18 PM
- Random York said...
I like the montage approach best. I would enjoy seeing a montage with a Dinatopa image, a fantasy and a plein air as the 3 components.
Thanks for letting us be a part of the input!
Good luck-
John - January 20, 2010 at 3:26 PM
- Charles Valsechi said...
Lamplight is my vote, DEFINITELY a book that needs to be made and one I will add to my collection along with imaginative realism!
- January 20, 2010 at 3:26 PM
- K. W. Broad said...
I attempted looking at each piece individually onscreen from across the room, and personal biases aside, I have to go with Sleeping Dino. It seems to have the most dramatic lighting and the most "punch" with the colors. It immediately shouts "Color & Light" to me.
As much as I like Street Scene, it was still a bit subtle to me and at first glance struck me as possibly a book on photography rather than painting.
Birdman is an excellent painting, but I believe the characters are a little TOO interesting. I find myself wanting to know their story more than about the actual subject matter of the book.
Montage at first glance I don't know what to make of it and my eyes tend to search for the title. Being a montage, that could probably be fixed with a rearranged composition, but it still strikes me as trying to say too much at once, like a magazine cover.
Sunset I feel suffers from the same thing as Street Scene. Nothing that jumps out at me right away.
Lamplight would probably be my second choice, as this one also speaks "Color & Light" to me, just not quite as dramatically as Sleeping Dino.
Looking forward to the book with great anticipation! - January 20, 2010 at 3:48 PM
- Carol H. said...
I love the sleeping dino (actually I love them all), but I think the street scene would appeal to a wider audience.
- January 20, 2010 at 3:48 PM
- Unknown said...
I voted "montage", not because it's the one I like the most, but because it's the one that shows both traditional realistic painting as fantastic painting. By choosing a cover that only shows one of those two genres, you give the impression that you only cover one single genre...
- January 20, 2010 at 3:53 PM
I think Birdman matches "Imaginative Realism" the most - it will really make it look like a companion to that book. But maybe it's not the one that is most distinctive about the subject of "color and light". Sunset and street scene both say a bit more about that, but I don't think they stand that much out compared to so many other covers. Which leads me to the sleeping dino. In my opinion, that one is a winner. It is a graceful composition that makes a stylish cover, it is very Gurney-esque and it shows a lot of clever and original use of light and color. It really shows that you have a few tricks up your sleeve and know how to use them for beautiful artwork.
But hey - a new book! That's some great news, no matter what you put on the cover! - January 20, 2010 at 3:53 PM
- goat89 said...
I am torn between Sleeping Bird and Lamplight... however, because you are famous for your Dinotopia work... the dino cover is more 'appropriate'. Hope it helps!
- January 20, 2010 at 4:13 PM
- Shane White said...
They're all great, no doubt.
The BIRDMAN speaks to what has gone before but in terms of sales the STREETSCENE might draw in a greater breadth of artists.
If you do a third...or are setting out to build a series it's always nice to stick with a theme...right?
Either way I'm buying it.
=s= - January 20, 2010 at 4:19 PM
- lilly piri said...
I voted for street scene, too, and have to agree with Larry. I think you'd reach a wider audience with that cover.
- January 20, 2010 at 4:19 PM
- lilly piri said...
P.S. Now I know what to ask for, for my birthday, heheh.
- January 20, 2010 at 4:21 PM
- Erin said...
STREET SCENE first preference.
Lamplight comes in a close second.
This big project is very exciting! - January 20, 2010 at 4:33 PM
- Neill said...
lamplight works for me.
- January 20, 2010 at 4:47 PM
- David B. Ellis said...
Sleeping Dino.
But if you want to go less genre specific I'd pick Lamplight (though I'd reverse it---maybe its just because I've seen that painting before and am used to it the other way, but it still seems backward to me). - January 20, 2010 at 4:49 PM
- kevinwparker said...
I vote for "Lamplight." It brings in the fantasy element without beating you over the head with it like "Birdman" or overly evoking Dinotopia, like "Sleeping Dino." And it even has an actual light in the image!
- January 20, 2010 at 5:18 PM
- Jerry Potts said...
I vote Lamplight, best range of subject matter. Was this image not used for the cover of Spectrum?
- January 20, 2010 at 5:33 PM
- Lane Brown said...
Sleeping dino is great but I feel that the title is cramped into the corner.
Lamplight would be my choice for the same reasons that others have stated. - January 20, 2010 at 6:07 PM
- SaraLynnArt said...
I definitely think the first one is the best. It has the most interesting lighting out of all of them, and the subject matter makes it pop a bit more than the other ones.
- January 20, 2010 at 6:18 PM
- amonduul said...
I like Lamplight(I think the overall layout is strongest), Sleeping Dino is also great.
keep it simple.
I agree with the put stuff on the back of the book person - January 20, 2010 at 6:33 PM
- Unknown said...
This is just my opinion, but I like the ones that don't have fantastic elements. I love those paintings, and I know the last one was on imaginative realism, but for a book that the cover says it's a guide for the realist painter -- for some reason the fantasy paintings look out of place.
It is really cool that we, your blog readers are being asked our opinion! - January 20, 2010 at 6:49 PM
- Unknown said...
Houseguard makes a very good point about Lamplight letting us know that it is about realism, but not necessarily excluding realistic fantasy.
- January 20, 2010 at 6:51 PM
- draigstudio said...
Honestly I love the very first image. What Nancy says (first comment) I agree with and deal with in my teachings. It's striking, it makes me think of you and your work, and it would stand out in any bookstore, AND it would look good on my shelves!
And I still need to interview you on my podcast sometime in the next two months. - January 20, 2010 at 6:55 PM
I don't think any of them are very compelling, honestly. The content is bland, even the sleeping dinosaur. Maybe if it were awake, otherwise, it's a passive cover that does nothing to draw a browsers eye to it. The other covers looks like just about any other book on "color & light" that I've seen before. Which well ... we all know here you're an incredible artist with moving, compelling artwork. These covers don't even marginally reflect that.
Also, the title: you need to find a different typographer. It's borderline amateurish, and could use a font treatment that complements your art instead of weighing it down.
Suggestions for a cover: the street scene with the buildings shows color and light value splendidly, but have something moving in it, such as people walking down the street, a child chasing a dog, etc and possibly move the perspective to a slightly more dynamic angle. Nothing dramatic, but a slight camera tilt, a little more angle to really show off the contrast in lighting.
For a title font, You have very elegant artwork, so why not something with a little more elegance, style, and finesse? There are plenty of beautiful and readable script fonts that make gorgeous headers, or you could pay somebody to hand create one. Doesn't take long and doesn't cost much, and they'll be able to pick up the personality of your book like most premade fonts will not, especially with you working in a distinctly traditional style whereas modern fonts are primarily austere and well ... modern. The font that's currently on there, for all it's serif, is distinctly modern, and it doesn't match.
HA. Hope I'm not coming off as too harsh, but I used to approve book covers, and this one I would have sent back and said to try again. - January 20, 2010 at 7:08 PM
- Brian said...
I think the interior of the book should reflect the cover. That is why I chose the montage. It is appealing to a broader market of people who do not know your work. I would only swap the bottom image with the title to the top.
- January 20, 2010 at 7:54 PM
- The fearless threader said...
Sleeping Dino is my favourite. I think the others look too far into fantasy or too bland, especially the townscene one. Sleeping Dino has the light behind him, illuminating his feathers and creating a fantastic aura of light around him which brings him even more to life. He looks like he'll just jump awake and pop off the page to play fetch.
- January 20, 2010 at 7:57 PM
- SCIBOTIC said...
I like the Sleeping Dino, runner up is the Street Scene, both of which are absolutely gorgeous.
The montage I find tacky to say the least. Birdman and Sunset don't grab me at all, and Lamplight lacks the clarity of the other pieces. - January 20, 2010 at 8:01 PM
- SoarsLikeAnEagle said...
Lamplight... well it is my favorite. The landscape looks like another how to paint a sunset book. The others are nice, but are as one puts it a bit restrictive.
- January 20, 2010 at 8:29 PM
- Dan Gurney said...
Street scene is my vote. I agree some action needs to be added to it. My suggestion would be a couple of orange "Art Department" traffic cones, a unicycle, and a balding plein-air artist and his wife painting on the sidewalk with easels set at 90 degrees apart.
- January 20, 2010 at 8:35 PM
- Lalquier said...
Sleeping dino definitely.
Birdman looks too close to Imaginative Realism.
Street scene, Sunset and Montage are too generic.
And Lamplight reminds me too much of the cover of an earlier Spectrum volume.
Where can I line up to pre-order one ? :) - January 20, 2010 at 9:23 PM
Definately version one for me!
So great! - January 20, 2010 at 9:23 PM
- mark morris said...
All interesting cover choices. Who did the graphic design on them?
- January 20, 2010 at 9:37 PM
- Frankie said...
For the love of God, don't use those generic landscapes. The last image is the most pleasing and fits well, but the typography is just atrocious. don't let them get away with that if you choose this as your painting!
The sleeping dino is nice too. - January 20, 2010 at 9:48 PM
- Michelle Johnson said...
I rather like Sleeping Dino, followed by Street Scene and Lamplight.
- January 20, 2010 at 10:22 PM
- John Malcolm said...
My vote's for Street Scene. People who know you mainly from the Dino and Imaginitive Realism stuff (and this blog) will probably buy the book regardless (it's on my list).
- January 20, 2010 at 11:23 PM
- ted said...
Sleeping Dino! The other covers (excepting the Birdman) could be an instructional book from any number of great artists, but the dino says "Gurney!" loud and proud.
- January 20, 2010 at 11:48 PM
- Jussi Tarvainen said...
Sleeping Dino.
Why? Because it is very realistic which goes well with the tittle yet it is imaginary which goes well with your first book.
CANT wait. But I guess I'll just have to:) - January 21, 2010 at 1:17 AM
- nystudios said...
Sunset 1st.
Lamplight 2nd. - January 21, 2010 at 1:21 AM
- Evan T said...
wow, a ton of people chose sleeping dino! as it happens, was the first image that drew my attention (I loved it ever since you posted the step-by-step)
- January 21, 2010 at 1:28 AM
- René PleinAir said...
As Marion points out: "It shows the books usefulness whether you paint standard landscapes or fantasy or anything in between. This book will be useful."
Together with the Dinotopia logo it should be well known that it is from your hand. Maybe an other montage Will suits many a little more, looking at the results. - January 21, 2010 at 2:01 AM
- Sam G said...
I look forward to the new book. Loved Imaginative Realism...very inspiring. I voted for the Sleeping Dino cause I love dinosaurs and I love the way you bring them to life.
- January 21, 2010 at 2:05 AM
- JASON HOWE said...
'Birdman' would look cool on the bookshelf beside my copy of Imaginative Realism!
- January 21, 2010 at 2:10 AM
- Erik Melander said...
I very much enjoyed the previous book so I'm thrilled to hear about this project.
The Sleeping Dino is an awesome painting, but I opted for Lamplight in the end because it fit with the theme of the book better in my opinion. - January 21, 2010 at 2:17 AM
- Claire Vrabel said...
I like the sleeping dino.
It has a strong focal point and the light in the picture really grabs the passerby... ;)
The last one is very classic looking but may not be different enough to grab the average consumer.
The dino has an exciting aspect to it. - January 21, 2010 at 2:33 AM
- Wolkenfels said...
I go for the lamplight.
At first glanced over the pictures (like it would happen at the bookstore) my initial thoughts were:
A flamingo kind bird
A photo of a street
A full fantasy kids book
A montage - like most of those books just something put together from different sources
A photo of a sunset - most likely a book about nature photography
A lovely painting - what is this about?
As i wrote - that was my very first initial impression. The second glance revealed of course the true nature of the dino, that the "photos" were paintings and so on. Question is - would i give them a second glance? - January 21, 2010 at 2:50 AM

I really like all of them, except for the montage. I think you should really think of the problem in terms of how you want the book to look next to Imaginative Realism. In a way, the Birdman cover ties them together in a nice way - both are portraits of alien/mythological creatures. On the other hand, having a more fine artsy landscape might be a nice contrast. Maybe the first book is more about creating fantastical worlds -hence the alien - while the second book is more about capturing the light and colour that already exist in our world - therefore, a more serene landscape.
I think in the end, I will vote for... Street scene. Or Birdman. Or Lamplight... Hmmmmm... - January 21, 2010 at 3:22 AM

Either dino, or the street. I like dino a bit better, but the street might scare normal people less than a bird-dinosaur. ;)

Quite a privilege that our input is asked! And a very efficient way of marketing research...or is it?
I noticed that the Dino cover has the highest number of votes, but I think you need to keep in mind that the audience of this blog may for a large part be Dinotopia and Fantasy Art fans. They may not necessarily be the audience this book is aiming for.
I voted for the street scene.
Reason being that it has NO link whatsoever with fantasie art and (very personally) I think it evokes the theme of light and colour best. Furthermore, if I would see that cover in a bookstore, I would think "Ah...a technical book for artists". The other covers are just way to Dino and Fantasy for me.
It all depends on what your audience is, and how much of James Gurney's typical or recognizable subjects you want to be in that cover.
As a runner-up, I also like the composition a bit. Not so much aesthetically, but instantly recognizable as a technical art instruction book.
To go over the other covers as well:
I really like the dino painting a lot by itself, but I believe it's not the best choice for this theme.
The birdman is way too similar to the cover of the first book. (Although that might be a good thing for recognizability).
But I would intuitively think that a book with this cover would have very similar content to the first book.
The sunset and the lamplight work for the subject of the book, but they narrow the perceived theme of the book to either only landscape painting or only very academic painting, and I think you would like the book to reach a very wide range of artists.
(I'm a bit late with my comments, and I deliberately didn't read the other comments first, but I hope my input is still of use) - January 21, 2010 at 4:45 AM
- Erik Bongers said...
I took the time to read the other comments now, and most of the people make the same associations that I did...but everyone disagrees whether these associations are a good or a bad thing!
During my second look at the covers, I noticed that I liked aspects in most of the covers, except the birdman as not being representative enough.
About the composition, I think that the two outdoor scenes are perhaps a bit too similar, and the birdman just 'sucks' all the attention to him.
I wonder if other mosaics could be possible, with the dino, a landscape or streetscene and the lamplight picture. This way the compo would be way more diverse, and you would no longer have a too distractive portrait. (remember the eye-tracking tests of the first book?) - January 21, 2010 at 5:04 AM
- SVSART said...
My vote is for "Lamplight" since it is an image every James Gurney fan knows I think it will be easier for your fans out there to know it's YOU if they aren't already following you on your blog.

Hey Jim,
I voted for Birdman. I'm leaning toward Birdman because you say that this book is a companion book to "Imaginative Realism" and Birdman would fit perfectly for that. The only thing that throws off the Birdman cover idea is the subtitle "A Guide for the Realist Painter". I think the "Realist" subtitle goes against what's in the first book, which leads you to believe this isn't a companion book. Maybe you could have a subtitle like, "A Guide for Painters" and leave it open to all forms of painting?
Also, it's hard to make a call without knowing the imagery you intend to use inside the book. We can't have Birdman on the cover if all of your examples on the inside are created from painting trips in the Hudson valley. ;0)
Maybe you could have another book that deals specifically with how to paint dinosaurs and throw some info in on the many different species of dinosaurs?
The sky's the limit!!!

I think Sleeping Dino is the cover that would draw the greatest attention. The lighting and colour are both beautifully "observed" and the layout is also the most interesting of all the covers. On a gut level, who can resist a sleeping dino? I am neither a fantasy nor a science fiction illustrator, but as an illustrator interested in learning more about colour and light this cover appeals to me most.
Can't wait! - January 21, 2010 at 9:41 AM
Hello Sir! I love the Street Scene, but from a marketing point of view, I would rather suggest the Montage, which looks great. Perhaps I'd add a dinosaur in the montage. Dinosaurs grab attention... but who am I telling this to? ;)

I'm partial to landscapes, but sleeping dino has the best pizzaz.

Street scene or the landscape seems to have the widest appeal. I like the others, but it leads me to think about the work in terms of fantasy or illustration rather than painting -- not that there is anything wrong with either genres.
As always, great work.

Lamplight, for sure. Great, another book to add to my library! I think that the Lamplight has a really nice subtle metaphor and includes both the real and the fantastic. There are too many 'plein aire' type book covers.
- January 21, 2010 at 11:43 AM
- RocknOats said...
I voted for Street Scene, Sleeping Dino makes me think this is another dino book and SS feels more "cover-y" from a design standpoint. I'm setting aside my "New Gurney Book" monies in preparation! I can't wait!
- January 21, 2010 at 11:44 AM
- PatternGhost said...
I vote for street scene. It has the look and feel of a classic text that I would want on my shelf. I love the fact that I had to take a second look to figure out if it is a photo. I think that will sell a book about realism to the masses the best. The other pictures feel too genre specific or have layouts that do not appeal to me.

I vote for Street Scene as having the appeal to a widest audience. But boy oh boy do I ever like Sleeping Dino and Lamplight!
What is that title typeface? Tiepolo? Not bad, but I agree with lilrivkah in encouraging you to be a bit more daring.
As far as the montage treatment - my first thought when I saw it was "Mark-Down Bin." - January 21, 2010 at 1:59 PM
- Sketchius said...
I voted for Sleeping Dino. I also enjoyed Street Scene, but I think Sleeping Dino would set this book apart from similar titles.
I disagree with the criticisms of the typeface. I think it's spot-on. I particularly enjoy how it looks in Street Scene.
I don't think Birdman works very well. I'm not sure that it is a bad thing that a version of Lamplight was already seen as the cover of Spectrum 1. It has a conceptual appeal, but I feel like Sleeping Dino has the best technical appeal. It simply looks impressive in terms of light and color.
Sunset is also nice, but again it looks too familiar compared to similar books I've seen.
I would stay away from the montage.
I'm really excited for this book! Thanks for letting us in on the process! :) - January 21, 2010 at 2:40 PM
- Vit said...
The bottom half of Birdman is the most similar with the previous book.
However a "big" montage with added Lamplight and Sleeping Dino can show that the book covers something more than a part of one genre. - January 21, 2010 at 4:18 PM
- Brooks Hansen said...
On glancing through the responses, it sounds like most people voting for Sleeping Dino do so because it's clearly their favorite, while most of those voting for one of the others (Street Scene would be my second choice) think it will have a broader appeal and/or serve your purposes better.
Beware the mind readers.
Sleeping Dino. - January 21, 2010 at 4:28 PM
- R. Adrian Z said...
i Vote for SLEEPING DINO
why: it was simple form of the dino catch my eyes first
then drove me to focus on the book.
can't wait for this book Jim, i'm looking forward. - January 21, 2010 at 5:13 PM
- Indrabar said...
I cast my vote for Sleeping Dino! Definitely caught my interest more than any of the others, although Lamplight is a close second!
- January 21, 2010 at 5:43 PM
- Rob Fullmer said...
I voted for Lamplight mainly for the same reason others did. I think it appeals to both the wider audience of artists while giving a solid nod to those interested in fantastic painting. Marketing-wise, I think that one speaks to the largest group of people.
But, that being said, the sleeping dino image knocked my socks off! I've been looking at it most of the day. - January 21, 2010 at 5:52 PM
- Jo said...
I have to say Sleeping Dino is by far my first choice. Second would be Lamplight.
- January 21, 2010 at 8:08 PM
- Zanne said...
I vote Sleeping Dino, then Lamplight. But then, I think Birdman ties in really well with the cover of the first book.
- January 21, 2010 at 10:12 PM
Another for "Sleeping Dino". In my rookie opinion, it displays the use of light as well as any of the other options, in a more spectacular way - shadowed pebbles, backlit subject, dark indistinct background and blazing white halo of feathers. The "Street Scene" and "Lamplight" options are just too subtle and rather generic when on a shelf with 30 other art technique books. If I were taking a painting class, for instance, I'd be proud to have my Color and Light textbook turning heads as I walked across campus.
Also, if I may be so bold, the "Montage" cover really does not work with those three images laid out as they are. Not only is Birdman distracting but there's not enough contrast between the landscape and street. If there's to be a montage, perhaps a better balanced one... such as the Sleeping Dinosaur primary with the brighter landscape and lamplight, or different examples entirely, as inserts? - January 21, 2010 at 10:27 PM
- Tyler J said...
Late on this one by a day, but I think that the Sleeping Dino ties together the most lighting elements (boca, subsurface scattering, effects, etc.)
That said, the street scene is fantastic and expertly rendered. It would make a fine cover as well.
Finally a quick thought: those past masters in your first chapter might have great artwork, but yours certainly belongs in their company. Besides, where is their blog? =)
Thanks for all your time and dedication, its truly appreciated. - January 21, 2010 at 11:25 PM
I'm absolutely thrilled about the new book and eagerly look forward to getting my copy.
I voted for the sleeping dino. It's eye-catching, unusual, and very effectively summarizes the title of your book - how light affects color and how wonderful it is. The other paintings, while excellent, don't encapsulate the title concept as effectively as that little sleeping dino - in my 'umble opinion. They don't have that "zing" for a cover :) - January 22, 2010 at 12:19 AM
- tayete said...
I am reading the previous one again, and finding new things in every paragraph; so you have a sure buyer here.
I vote for the two tops. But if you want to make sure everyone notices it is a companion of the previous one, the one with the critters should be the most appropiate.

Sleeping Dino
I've gotta tell you - I would skip right over the ones with buildings or landscapes...I just feel like I've seen them before. - January 22, 2010 at 10:19 AM
- Unknown said...
If I'm not too late - I vote for Sleeping Dino- the light on the ground and feathers is fantastic. And I like that is says 'a guide for the realist painter' combined with the dino. I have become fascinated with the color tricks of the eye lately and I look forward to reading your book.
- January 22, 2010 at 10:22 AM
- Blake said...
I vote for the Street Scene. It is a beautiful painting and has good areas for the type. Sleeping Dino and Lamplight are great paintings, but I like the plein air effect that the Street Scene has without looking too much like a landscape book (the mountain scene reminds me of my Kevin McPherson book). I would steer clear of a montage, though. It makes it look kind of cheap, and a single great painting holds way better on its own.

I was going to vote for 'Montage' as it has the most variety but on second thought it looks too generic.
I am voting for 'sleeping dino': it says 'Gurney', it's different, and c'mon, it's a SLEEPING DINO!
what more do you need? - January 22, 2010 at 1:13 PM
- By Scott Flanders said...
Birdman could serve as a nice companion image to the little frog goblin character on the cover for Imaginative Realism. The sleeping dinosaur is also very nice and does speak to the rest of your dinosaur work, for which you are well known. Good luck, can't wait for the book.

Sleeping Dino or Lamplight. They combine the best representations in the set, of both the mimetic image and the imagined realism. Also the most active two of the set, I think.

I would go for Lamplight (first), then Sunset (second). As these covers will not deter fine art painters. Lamplight thought entices not just fine art painters but people in the genre of illustration as well so it pretty much says a lot.
- March 25, 2010 at 5:57 PM
- DavidHarris said...
I have to agree with the posters who chose the Street Scene for alot of the same reasons already stated. I like that it does not pigeonhole you as a fantasy artist and in terms of sheer beauty of light and color I think this image has it all without being too stereotypically 'landscapey' either.
It is simply an awesome image and would definitely make me take a closer look if I saw it on a shelf. - May 12, 2010 at 5:46 AM

The Consumer Products Safety Commission is fed up with the Nap Nanny.
Three models of the infant recliners — Nap Nanny Generations One and Two, and the Chill — are being recalled voluntarily by some of the nation's biggest retailers, including Amazon.com and Buy Buy Baby. Consumers can get refunds or credit toward another purchase.
The consumer agency says the recliners "contain defects in the design, warnings and instructions, which pose a substantial risk of injury and death to infants."
Usually, a manufacturer makes the recall move. In this case, the CPSC says Baby Matters LLC, maker of the products, "is unable or unwilling to participate in the recall."
Back in 2010, the CPSC and Baby Matters jointly announced a recall that offered a coupon to people who owned the Generation One recliner for a discount toward the purchase of a newer model. The CPSC said then that it knew of one death and 22 reports of problems with kids hanging out of or falling out of the seats.
Despite warnings and clearer instructions, the CPSC said more deaths were reported. There were 70 reports of kids falling out of the seats.
In early December, the staff at the CPSC pursued an administrative judgment against Baby Matters, claiming its products are defective and should be pulled from the market to prevent injuries and deaths.
"We believe it is a hazardous product and we are concerned about the safety of the children that are in there," Consumer Product Safety Commission spokesman Alex Flip told ABC News at the time.
Leslie Gudel, founder and owner of the company, contested the commission's claims:
Recently the CPSC filed an administrative complaint against our company seeking legal authority to stop the sale of all Nap Nanny recliners on the theory that the Nap Nanny is a hazardous product. We do not believe the complaint has merit and stand behind the safety of our product when used as instructed.
The company's dispute with the CPSC drove the company out of business, Gudel wrote.
We contacted Gudel for a response on the latest issue but haven't received one.
Update 5:25 p.m.: Nap Nanny's Gudel emailed a response to Shots:
Baby Matters is disappointed to hear that four retailers have chosen to voluntarily recall the Nap Nanny. As I've said before, the loss of an infant is an unthinkable tragedy, and I am truly heartbroken for the families who have lost a child. But when the Nap Nanny has been used properly, no infant has ever suffered an injury requiring medical attention. The Nap Nanny still benefits thousands of children and families and we continue to stand behind the product 100%.
The CPSC's decision to join with retailers to recall the product is simply an end-run around its attempt to force a recall on Baby Matters in court --an effort we are vigorously resisting. We look forward to presenting our case before a judge who will hear all of the facts. Until then, we thank our loyal customers for their continued support.
