The Art of Gris Grimly

Gris Grimly has become a cult favorite for his gothic children's books that appeal equally to young and older.

Grimly's illustrations have been featured in an edition of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination, accompanied the text of Marilyn Singer in Creature Carnival and Monster Museum and embellished the ghoulish children's morality tales of his own Wicked Nursery Rhymes.

Gris generously cites his many influences and inspirations among the most beloved artists in the genre of dark fantasy. Among them are of course Charles Addams, Tim Burton and Edward Gorey, but also Clive Barker, Jim Henson, Egon Schiele, Dr. Seuss, Ralph Steadman and Daniel Clowes.

"GRIS GRIMLY'S WICKED NURSERY RHYMES belongs at the bedside of every child who ever had a twisted thought (and every adult too!). Stylish, funny, and gloriously ghoulish, it's the perfect book for those of us who believe Halloween should be celebrated every week of the year."
