Mercer Mayer is selling giclee prints of some of his illustrations. They are too expensive, but what a pleasure just looking thru the gallerys.
Here are some of my favourites from the books I know - Shibumi and the Kitemaker; East of the Sun, West of the Moon (although I do wish he was offering prints of this beautiful fish); Beauty and the Beast & of course, Everyone Knows What a Dragon Looks Like.
From this site, I see that he's also illustrated Grimms - so that's now on my list to find.
When I see these lovely pictures (some of which are old friends from childhood) it really inspires me. Guess it's a sign I ought to get off my duff & start sketching something beyond my geriatric dogs napping and the trees in our back yard.
