That fridge is full to the brim - no wonder that spaniel is claiming his share of it!<BR/><BR/>Great dog renderings! <BR/>I however prefer cats, but never the less like dogs too. "Dackel" - Dachshunds are out of fashion here in Germany. That's a pity. As you say, Charlie, they are characters. Just recently one of them was jumping at me, and the proprietor, an old lady, said: "He's fond of human beings"<BR/><BR/>Concerning your last picture: You improved the model? The man reclining in his chair after a hard day's creative work? <BR/>I'm not quite sure, he may have looked like that....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064869808377826774.post-72517791140685935822009-01-03T14:40:00.000-08:002009-01-03T14:40:00.000-08:00Late response here, but thanks to Bruce for alerti...Late response here, but thanks to Bruce for alerting me to 'that' James Gurney! Thanks for your comments, James...much appreciated. We have your first Dinotopia book, a gift from our daughter who recognized good illustration when she saw it! Just amazing, creative, yet almost traditional, storybook illustrations. Very complicated compositions and subjects....but focused and held together beautifully. That's been long while....so hope there are more books and venues for you, and for today's 'paint' illustrators. Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064869808377826774.post-58896695954103897702008-12-31T10:12:00.000-08:002008-12-31T10:12:00.000-08:00Happy New Year Charlie.

Those ads say so much about the way we used technology, and they're gorgeous drawings. I hope advertisers go back to using good illustration.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.com
