Fantastic Resource

I found this book, Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist By James Gurney, through Mark Kennedy's blog Temple of the Seven Golden Camels.

It looks like a wonderful resource for anybody in the arts. I'd recommend it especially for those of you who are interested in visual development, matte painting, and/or story-boarding.

And, if you're not yet reading Temple of the Seven Golden Camels, then it's definitely time you start!
