Ce mois-ci, je vais parler de mon projet perso, des livres sur la lumière et des couleurs, les podcasts de “behind the game”, le festival “hallucinations collectives”, d’Instant Gaming et de la 6eme édition d’Indie Game Lyon pour finir sur des sites web qui m’ont marqué il y a quelques années.

Episode 42: Dinotopia Dreaming
It’s time for a nostalgia kick. Travis and Alyssa discuss James Gurney’s Dinotopia: an idealised vision of a world where humans and dinosaurs peacefully co-exist and everyone has their place. We explore the storytelling approaches, links to other media and what Dinotopia could look life if it were written today.

I just finished building a little painting easel based off of James Gurney's plans and it's really nice to use. I learned a lot about how not to handle plywood before I got things correct.

I don't think I'll be sharing the first 30 minute sketch of my backyard that I did to test it out, but I'm excited to start painting again. It's been far far too long.

LOVE James' open heart artist shares on YouTube etc
Classic Quote from @jamesgurney that hits home:
"In art, we're always skirting at the edge of disaster."
I feel this is basically every painting! The grand master himself says it so casually in his brilliant video "5 PROBLEMS WITH GOUACHE | And How to Solve Them". Highly recommended watch.

"If there was a period when we might have really taken stock and considered the #future more judiciously, it would have been at the advent of electricity, mass production, automobiles, airplanes, and modern communications... We’re at a similar crossroads now with the advent of #robotics and #AI, and I think living intentionally with #technology will become even more important." - #JamesGurney
