Thanks James! You can find links to all of his stuff in the description and make sure to check out his YouTube channel - youtube.com/user/gurneyjourney

James Gurney leans into this phone call with the joy and enthusiasm of a teenager making a prank call

"Does your dad have a job?" "No, he just sits around and paints dinosaurs all day." that made me laugh for a bit, great episode

i wont get tired of saying this, this podcast is a gold mine for artists

Are we going to talk about how nice James' voice is?

James freakin Gurney coming through on the freakin landline!!!! im dead what a legend.

3:11 you guys gotta work this out you're doing a podcast lmao James is a savage. I love his sense of humor.

Holy crap you got the legend himself on the podcast!

When I read his book on Colour and Light I knew this will be something people will still read in 100 years.

60 year old science teacher here in no. CA, teaching myself art as a 4 yr DIY program to prepare for an encore career. You guys are my teachers, firming the core of my little program. BTW, small world, JG. I'm anthro major out of UCD, wanted to be science illustrator growing up. Thanks guys.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an interview with James Gurney until now. He’s seems like such a nice guy! I read his Color & Light book and learned a lot from it. Truly a gem :)

James Gurney interviews Marshall and Proko! Lovely episode

Recording a landline convo is such a James Gurney move. 😆 He is the king of inventiveness and thinking outside of the box. So much respect!

It's fun seeing James Gurney take over the interview and give it some focus. I never get tired of hearing his insights on art, life, and everything.

I fit firmly into the second group James brought up in the intro. I drew daily all through my childhood and into my teens and was quite good for my age. I pretty much stopped in my mid teens when starting to look at A levels and Uni courses, with encouragement in other directions from my parents. And now, here I am at 30 as a software developer trying to make up for lost time. I’ve got a lot of work to do, and I really appreciate all the great advice that comes from this podcast. Thanks to Marshall and Stan for the hours and hours of great content, and to James for his thoughtful advice as always.

James is one of the nicest, brightest, most talented humans I’ve ever seen. He’s so incredibly generous with his knowledge and has brought so many people into the sphere of art, that might have found it too intimidating. He’s such an example of what teaching could be…

James and Marshall are chatting like they're teenagers, over their passion. This is such a great talk.

Mr. Gurney is one of the greatest in this time we are living in. His book "Color and Light" is life changing. You guys were so lucky to have him on there. -Cheers

Props to Gurney for not breaking character in almost 2 hours of holding a phone XD

OMG! Landline Phone!!! How thoughtful of James, reminding us where we stand right now.
