Film Magic

Who doesn't admire Ray Harryhausen's film magic, bringing creatures and skeletons and what-not to life in spooky fashion? The non-limited, but autographed, print below is a production drawing of one of his most famous sequences —The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.

Harryhausen and me go back a long ways, further than memory allows probably. he was the first film artist whose work i became aware of and wanted to see more of. the hands on artistry of what he did is something lost in todays CGI dominated special effects world. i love that drawing you posted! if i recall he stated it was that drawing that inspired the whole film. i love his artwork, another amazing facet to his talent.
