John Gurche was part of Jurassic Park's team of concept artists and other pre-production details during the very early days of the film's conception. He is also an incredibly talented paleo-artist with many amazing works that include dinosaurs and early-man. John took the time to be part of a very detailed and engaging conversation about his input on the film. This video presentation contains many of his images that have only recently surfaced from him, and includes an exclusive first-look at others he had yet to reveal. There are also many other concept art pieces included from other artists, including another first-look of a colorful take on the omitted "Spitter Umbrella" scene. Check out John Gurche at his Facebook page @johngurcheartist, his Instagram @john_gurche_paleoart, and his website: http://www.gurche.com *Note: This is a telephone interview, so the sound quality may not be the best. However, I re-recorded my lines; so if I sound a little robotic I do apologize.

Jurassic Time Memoirs: The Vision Of John Gurche (Jurassic Park)

When Steven Spielberg was looking for a dinosaur expert for Jurassic park, he chose John Gurche. Steven Spielberg kind of gets to pick whoever he wants, so that’s a pretty good sign that John Gurche is the best in the world at what he does. As a paleoartist, Gurche works closely with the world’s foremost paleontologists to figure out from fossils that are often millions of years old what the creatures that left them behind would have looked like. In Shaping Humanity: How Science, Art, and Imagination Help Us Understand Our Origins, Gurche explains the work he did for the Smithsonian Institution’s Hall of Human Origins. Commissioned to make fifteen sculptures covering six million years of human evolution, Gurche explains how a hole in the base of the skull tells us which ancestors walked upright and why we currently think our ancestors’ eyes might have turned white. In this interview, we explore how through accidental finds and scientific missteps we have teased out our present understanding of human evolution and in the end through Mr. Gurche’s work and words we develop a shared connection with a past before recorded history.For more of Mr. Gurche’s work, visit http://www.gurche.com/. His work is amazing.Shaping Humanity: How Science, Art, and Imagination Help Us Understand Our Origins is available on Amazon. It’s one of the most beautiful, fascinating books you’ll ever own.
