Evolution art, with Charlie Chido!

After the successful Kickstarter for the dino-gallery, Charlie Chiodo of the Chiodo Bros drew a picture for me! You can see more about it at http://evolutionanimation.wordpress.com/2013/07/19/derivitive-art-with-charlie-chiodo/

Dinosaur Art Gallery!

Richard Jones, producer of the Gary and Eric dinosaur shows, is at it again on Kickstarter, trying to drum up funds for an online art gallery for dinosaur art! Featured artists at the moment were both involved in the old dinosaur shows: namely William Stout (http://www.williamstout.com/) and Charles Chiodo (http://www.chiodobros.com/).

If you watched any of the old Eric and Gary dino shows, you should instantly recognize William Stout's bright, vibrant, comic-book-esque dinosaurs that were part of his '80s 'The Dinosaurs: A Fantastic View of a Lost Era'.  This book has been updated in the years since as "The New Dinosaurs" featuring newer artwork and dinosaur revisions as our understand of dinosaurs changes.

Charles Chiodo, of the Chiodo Bros. also did various dinosaur artwork for the Gary and Eric dinosaur shows (among other dino shows!), and also had a hand in creating the various stop motion and puppet creations that Gary and Eric interacted with.

So if you want some signed prints or custom artwork from either of those two, be sure to pledge at the Kickstarter! http://kck.st/18iP70g

Kickstarter Tour Behind the Scenes Footage, Courtesy of Josh Ballze

Some behind the scenes footage of the Kickstarter tour I was on back in Feb. from Joshua Ballze, the man behind the recent Jurassic Con and our guide through the La Brea tar pits in LA!

Dinosaur Tour: COMPLETED

Hey guys, got back from the Dino tour with Eric and crew last week, and while I'll get some photos up here eventually, I've made this in the meantime. For those of you who couldn't go on the tour, don't worry, because I've condensed the entire thing into 1 minute for your viewing pleasure! So be sure to watch it about 720 times to get the full tour experience!

Success!

Well, the Kickstarter campaign was a success! Thanks to all the fans out there who helped complete the Gary and Eric dinosaur documentary package, and especially those of you who joined me in the grand tour! Over time I'll have more Gary and Eric stuff to show you, so stay tuned to this blog for more exciting videos and images.

Gary and Eric at Kingdom of the Dinosaurs

Here is some raw footage of Gary and Eric at Knotts Berry Farm, on their now defunct ride, Kingdom of the Dinosaurs (1987-2004). You can see a lot of good information on the ride here at the Knotts Preserved website, http://www.knottspreserved.com/Site/1982_-_2010/Pages/Kingdom_of_the_Dinosaurs.html

This was shot for Son of Dinosaurs, and you may recognize some of the cuts, only now you can hear Richard Jones in the background!

And don't forget about the Kickstarter! We're halfway there and need to keep the momentum going to get all the dinosaur show re-released in their DVD glory!

Is your favorite show not on the first DVD?! (Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Dinosaurs sadly isn't!) Then I bet it's probably on the second! With Kickstarter, you can pledge to donate money (and receive various rewards) and you won't be charged unless the project completes its goal; virtually a non-losing proposition!

I've just donated, but between you and me I have my eye on that Grand Tour package sitting around the 2.5k mark...if any 3 people wanna split  625 bucks with me we, drop me a line...

In any case, if you love dinosaurs, if you love Gary and Eric and if you love opening your wallet and pledging money to back wonderful projects such as this one, then who am I to stop you?! Go ahead! And be sure to spread the word to all dinosaur and Gary/Eric fans. Let's do this, people!
