James Gurney leads a group of 12 top concept artists and plein-air painters to imagine a gigantic character in Pasadena, California. Gurney chooses Super Mario interacting with the public, and paints him in gouache. This event was part of Lightbox Expo, an annual convention for artists who work in the entertainment industry.

It was such an honor to be chosen to be a “mentor ” at this paint-off at LightBox. Hundreds of artists showed up for this experience and it was a extremely fun! Working with James and Jeanette was a treat…such nice people.

Glad you were among the orange-capped mentors, Gary. I kept running into your students, who were happily engaged in sketching.

I'm a college student, and I read Dinotopia: Sky Dance when I was a kid. I just went on a late night rabbit hole to your channel and I am absolutely stoked to see that it's active! Your art instills a sense of nostalgia and wonder that I don't really see anywhere else. Someday when I save enough money, I hope to get a signed copy of your book for my family in the future :)

It is crazy to me that I knew what you were going to paint before you posted the video simply because I saw a photo of you shaking the hands of my animation professor with this painting in the background! Glad to see up close in higher quality and not zooming into a pixelated blur.

James, you have zero clue who I am. at the moment of typing this, I haven't even subscribed yet (once I'm done I will). A friend of mine loved your work and we would watch your videos in his living room and some days go out into the city of Detroit to observe and draw the world in front of us. My friend passed away last August. Your videos, their simplicity, and your thought processes explained, bring me back to the simple times when my friend and I would draw together. He was much more talented than I am, but there is a peace and a calm about art that I love and that he taught me, much of which I find in your work. I come back to your videos to be reminded of that. Thank you, James.

The event looked like a really fun time! As a person closer to James age, I am quite impressed with his knowledge of video game and manga characters!

I know it was a fun, silly exercise, but this is my favorite painting I’ve seen you do and I’ve been following you for years. Great to see new things work out so well! Thanks James!

Watching you work your way through the process, as well as your sense of humor as you added the the "Instagram" junkies and the patrol car to the painting , shows your brilliance as an artist.

Drawing and painting is like a video game. It's like a visual game on a flat two dimensional surface.

Alas, that the character I designed - Rad Gravity - never achieved that iconic level of recognition. But I’ve been there at that building in Pasadena many a time, and never had the time to draw it. Always great to watch your videos!

James, this video brought a song to my heart to see so many enjoy the art, architecture, culture, etc., and be provided the opportunity to learn among those who had less technology to rely on. We can always count on Mario to bring people together and I appreciate your knowledge and respect for his origins. Fantastic vid, thank you!

Is there a reason the buildings are leaning towards the subject?

@JamesGurney 8 ай бұрын

Yeah, kind of pushing the worm's eye view with three point perspective.

@stillwatersforge3957 8 ай бұрын

@JamesGurney Thank you for answering! I knew there was a reason, and it makes sense to show how big Mario is from as low as possible. This video reminds me of the painting you made with a colossal Mario walking through a landscape.

I love the video bit… why is mario‘s color so… well, off?

@JamesGurney 8 ай бұрын

Good eye. There's a reason: Mario used to have red overalls and a blue shirt. The design was used in super Mario bros 1 and 2 but in 3 they changed it so he has blue overalls and a red shirt and it’s remained that ever since. I based my painting on a Nintendo-licensed figurine with the older color scheme.
