A Fortnight on Baker Street - Day Two, "The Artists"

Gaslight Arcanum authors worked together with Oscar award winner Dave Elsey (cover art) and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola (frontispiece artwork), and Luke  to create the best Gaslight Sherlockian Anthology yet!

About the Cover Artist:

Dave Elsey has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to create memorable characters using make up: from the fantastical creatures in the television series Farscape to his planet-wrangling skills in The Little Shop of Horrors. Dave is the cover artist for the Australian comic book The Dark Detective: Sherlock Holmes, and he recently won an Oscar, along with Rick Baker for his special FX work for the movie The Wolfman.

To see him winning his Oscar click here. (it will open in a new window for you...)

About the Interior Artists:

Mike Mignola is an American comic book artist and writer, famous for creating the comic book series Hellboy for Dark Horse Comics. He has also worked for animation projects such as Atlantis: The Lost Empire and the adaptation of his one shot comic book, The Amazing Screw-On Head.

In looking on You Tube, I ran across this great footage of Mike at a Boston Comic Con...this is just one out of the eight created, but it will get you started if you are interested...



Luke Eidenschink is a 2009 winner of the International Illustrators of the Future Award. His work includes book and magazine illustration, custom design, fine art, and most recently graphic novel illustration.

Here is Luke's interview after winning his award.



Congratulations to all of the artists who have helped put together "Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes."
