Harold's Room 1

This production illustration was for a film called "Harold and The Purple Crayon." It was at Sony, and got shut down. This was years ago, and Spike Jonze was directing, Rick Heinrichs was production designer, and Maurice Sendak was one of the producers. It was a great project, and it is sad it never made it. It was to be part live action, and part animated. Many of those involved have gone on to work on great projects, like Shrek and Sky High, Sleepy Hollow and Lemony Snicket.

This piece was started in gouache, and finished in cel vinyl (acrylic).
