[img]http://www.snitchseeker.com/images/news/hp_grandpre_80.jpg' align='middle'> Not just a 'Harry Potter' Artist - Interview with Mary GrandPre Summary:
Cincinatti.com has interviewed the illustrator of the American version of the Harry Potter novels. Article: Not just a 'Harry Potter' Artist Cincinatti.com has a nice interview with Mary GrandPre, the illustrator for the Harry Potter books. The interview also includes a picture of her. Quote: How has your life changed since Harry Potter?
It's just become more complex. A lot of other doors have opened for me. It's given me some notoriety, although that can also be hard to deal with when I'm pigeonholed as the Harry Potter artist. Actually, my personal artwork is not much like Harry Potter at all.
Quote: Will there be some Harry Potter illustrations as well?
I'm showing working drawings or sketches that I own. One is a sinking ghost ship that was in Book Four. There's also one of Harry at the Mirror of Erised. There are also some pencil sketches from a Harry Potter calendar and scenes from Book One.
GrandPre will be in Cincinnati Friday for her first gallery show of original artwork, The Art of Storytelling, at Closson's Phyllis J. Weston Art Gallery in Hyde Park, Friday through July 31. Her painting, "Carmen," commissioned by the Cincinnati Opera, and her self-portrait, "Moonpie," will be included in the exhibit.

This is awesome, but I agree I wish I was in Cincinnati so I could see the rest of her art. *sigh* I would have to travel about 2000 miles for that... so I'm gonna run fast!!!!
