I mean, it looks great this way). Check out that spread at pages sixteen and seventeen (scan 10): the facing page is really cartoony with thickly inked variable outlines and stiff character-model clothing. Whereas the verso page is all painted with values indicating drapery and stuff. Throughout the book, some of the ghosts are ethereal and strange, some look like caricature spooks from animated shorts. It's a neat, juxtaposed look for sure.<br /><br />Those two-page architectural spreads are my faves in this one (scans three through seven, four being the tip-top). What awesome use of that weird, unearthly cyan/green. Funky tungsten light colors seem woefully underused in modern print illustration.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-46858212196488489402012-10-06T17:03:19.001-05:002012-10-06T17:03:19.001-05:00Very nice, very nice indeed!

It also has a map of the ride, and is one of my favourite Disney-based posessions.TwoHeadedBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946450138433182058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-29622770309853596412012-10-06T12:50:37.436-05:002012-10-06T12:50:37.436-05:00Love that it has a Kresge sticker on it!Love that it has a Kresge sticker on it!Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.com
