James Gurney
Bilgewater Cutaway  2005

This cutaway painting provides an inside look at a Bilgewater dwelling from top to bottom. Old decks have become walls that divide the ship's spaces, which include a dancing room on the ground floor, a workshop, and a library and sleeping cabins on the upper levels. A playful slide expedites travel from the higher reaches and a helpful Brachiosaurus brings residents right to their doors.
