Gris Grimly

Might be good to talk about Gris Grimly as an example of sort of dark comedy in children's book illustration. Sort of a newer Edward Gorey.

Some individuals to think about...

Important authors who (unfortunately) were not illustrators...

The Brothers Grimm
Hans Christian Anderson
Lewis Carroll
L. Frank Baum
A.A. Milne
Laura Ingalls Wilder
C.S. Lewis

But of course also some illustrators...

Edmund Dulac (1882-1953)
Dorothy Lathrop (1891-1980)
Robert Lawson (1892-1957)
Kay Nielson (1886-1957)
Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966)
Howard Pyle (1853-1911)
Jessie Wilcox Smith (1863-1935)
N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945)

I pulled these from the site Early Illustrators where a lot more are listed as well.

Lastly, I found a site that may even prove useful for us as illustrators!
Except it costs $$$ to join. Sad.
