Description

Because Dave Mckean doesn't sell his Grayard book art I have been waiting for some very nice pages to come up for sale of P. Craig Russell's adaption of the book.

There are several artists that have worked on the book but I always liked Scott Hampton's work on the book by far the most.
He stays closest to P. Craig Russell's penscils/layouts and he is the only one who also painted large part of the pages in subtle gray tones making his pages much nicer, beautiful and more finished than all the other ones.
Yes I know it's subjective but if you have the book look at the difference between pages 76 and 77 where Scott Hampton took over "the hounds of God" chapter from Tony Harris and you'll see what I mean.
P. Craig Russell's use of panels is brilliant in the story telling
I'm very happy to have been te first one to go through all Scott hampton's art of both volumes so i could pick all the pages that I liked the most.

Great page, in terms of text and art. Scott did indeed bring a lot with those washtones, most definitely. I'm very happy with my Nowlan (1) and Harris (2) pages from the book though, for different reasons. And as at collectors, recent art that is professionally hand-lettered? GRAVY!

You definitely see much of Russell's work coming through in these pages (and esp. this one). The layouts on this page must have been quite detailed (?)

Both of these books are perfect. And this is a perfect piece of art.
