On Friday I visited an “Afterhours” at the Natural history museum called “Dino Art” This was a fantastic opportunity to watch some of the greatest Paleoartists talk about their work. The Paleoartists present were Luis Rey, Rob Nicholls, John Conway, Steve White and John Sibbick with Darren Naish the Paleontologist. During the interval and after the presentations there was a chance to buy the book…
…which I had already bought the week before. There was also the chance to get them signed and drawn in, which is exactly what Steve, John and Bob were doing. I also had a chat to Luis about the new book which he and Rob Bakker are writing together. For more information visit Luis’ site here: http://luisvrey.wordpress.com/
Hello James. Wonderful blog you have here! Many thanks for your support during the event… as soon as I get the “go ahead” I will start posting more detailed news about my new gargantuan project with Dr. Bob Bakker… for what I see in your blog, you are going to like it!
By the way, I specially liked your post regarding feather distribution on the arms of theropods… I have always tried to get people away from the ornamental “fan-like ” effect… remember primaries always! All the best.
Thank you very much, I’m a fan of your art work and I look forward to the next preview of the book. I can’t wait for it to finally come out!
Also, its funny you should mention the primaries because at the moment I am editing one of my old pictures of a Velociraptor and a Citipati (Oviraptor).
