Every true artist has been inspired more by the beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them than by the concrete subject of the picture.
- Piet Mondrian
Colour helps to express light, not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists, that in the artist's brain.
- Henri Matisse

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.
