Dinotopia, A Land Apart from Time 20th Anniversary Edition

Calla Editions brings James Gurney's bestselling tale of mystical humans and intelligent dinosaurs to a new generation in this 20th anniversary edition. Digitally re-rendered from the original transparencies, Gurney's spectacular artistry takes on new vitality.

Before writing and illustrating Dinotopia, James Gurney painted reconstructions of ancient civilizations for National Geographic magazine. He has illustrated seventeen stamps for the U.S. Postal Service, including The World of Dinosaurs. His Dinotopia artwork has won the Hugo, Chesley, Spectrum, and World Fantasy Awards and has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution, the Norman Rockwell Museum, and the Delaware Art Museum. His most recent books, Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist (2009) and Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter (2010), are based on his daily blog gurneyjourney.blogspot.com.
