Steven Gettis, the webmaster of http://mikewieringo.com and the fella behind “Hey Oscar Wilde! It’s clobberin’ time!!!” (a literary tribute website featuring comics artists drawing their favourite literary figures) dropped me a note to let me know about a special site update.
Steven had commissioned a few Harry Potter drawings from Mike Wieringo before he passed away earlier this year, and Steven has decided to share them with the world. I’m glad he did–they’re really fun illustrations. I’ve never been a big fan of the official art for the Harry Potter series, and seeing Wieringo’s illustrations you can’t help but wonder what might’ve been.
I’ve reproduced a small sample here, but if you head over to http://digitalmedusa.com/sgettis/word/ you can see the two illustrations for yourself.
