An ordinary artist shows you the things everybody can see. The egotistical artist shows you the things only he can see. But the great artist shows you things nobody ever saw before.

P. Craig Russell

Posted by Charley Parker at 10:24 am

P. Craig RussellProbably best known for his work on the comic book adaptations of Michael Moorcock’s Elric stories, P. Craig Russell has worked on many titles over the years, including Sandman and Dr. Strange.

He works in a fine lined style that is both fluid and precise. Parts of images like clouds and trees often are so stylized that they become decorative elements as in 19th century book plates. While his stuff looks great in color, I think it works really well as pen and ink illustration.
