gris grimly
Gris Grimly is an absolutely AMAZING illustrator. He has a show at an NYC gallery called Animazing this month (actually it ended yesterday, but they assure me they’ll have his stuff up until Thursday). His style is a dark, macabre mix of fine pen and watercolor with such extraordinary detail and imagination. It looks as if he could have been the primary concept artist for A Nightmare Before Christmas. It is sooo good. His website, madcreator.com has a good selection of his work, but the collection at Animazing is unbelievable (along with the prices), but some of the limited edition prints are nice, and affordable. I think I am going to buy this framed, signed, print of “The Journey”.
He illustrates a ton of beautiful children’s books that can be found on amazon.com, most of which I am about to order, but I am in particular love of Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Madness. “Take a look inside,” and you’ll see what I mean.
AnimationConnection.com has more information about Grimly, and a great collection of his work for sale.
