DescriptionThis 8.5" x 11" original Slimer drawing by concept artist Henry Mayo was made for the production of Ghostbusters II (1989). Accomplished in ink, graphite, and orange pencil, and mounted on board, the artwork served as the final design before the puppet/suit was created. Director Ivan Reitman asked to see more emotion from the lovable green ghost, and, so, Mayo sketched Slimer in these four fun and expressive poses.Tim Lawrence, the Industrial Light & Magic Ghostbusters II Creature Shop supervisor, brought Mayo on board as a visual designer. The two sat on the floor of Lawrence's apartment and developed the look of the Scoleri Brothers, which became the first character designs that were approved and shot. Mayo also contributed sketches and ideas for several other ghouls, such as the Theater Ghost, the Haunted Mink Fur Coat, and Vigo the Carpathian. After the movie was completed, executive producer Michael C. Gross asked Mayo to do the Ghostbusters II Topps trading cards and other merchandising artwork. His other film credits include It (1990), Jumanji (1995), Men in Black (1997), and Shrek (2001). Social/Sharing |
