Harry Potter and the Amazing Artist

Tagged:

I'm a huge fan of the Harry Potter series (15 years old this year!), as well as a big fan of Kazu Kibuishi's work. I'm thrilled that the two are being paired for a celebration of Harry's anniversary. Kibuishi is doing a series of seven new covers for each of the J.K. Rowling books, and the first one, for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, is a gem.(Artist Mary GrandPre did the artwork for the  original American editions.) The new editions featuring Kibuishi's work will debut in September; take a look at the cover of the first one below. It's beautifully done, with startlingly crisp colors and details. Well done.
