How much do I love Gris Grimly? Very much! I’ve always been drawn to his macabre yet whimsical style of illustration. Grimly names a number of artists as his influences, among them Charles Addams, Edward Gorey, Jim Henson, Marice Sendak, and Tim Burton. “Tim Burton,†he says, “made a huge influence on the world. He put humor and gothic horror in the blender and hit puree.†I think that description works well for Grimly too.
