THE PEN AND INK DRAWINGS OF TONY DITERLIZZI Signed (original) (raw)

Description

Since his meteoric debut as an illustrator for Dungeons & Dragons to a decades-long career as a bestselling author and illustrator of children’s books, Tony DiTerlizzi has continued to sketch his favorite fantasy subjects. Wizards, gnomes, and all manner of monsters fill over 100 pages spanning thirty years from Tony’s early art samples for TSR (then publishers of Dungeons & Dragons) to dozens of fantastic New Yorker covers, to pieces rendered over a live stream during the recent pandemic.

Inspired by classic artists from the Golden Age of Illustration (1880-1930), DiTerlizzi’s animated and playful style redefined the total visual presentation of a roleplaying game. His imagination bends and shapes natural animal, vegetable, and mineral forms to create a menagerie of fantastic beasts. From his magic pen, he conjures compelling character after character, each demanding a story all their own. This book includes a selection of images taken from DiTerlizzi’s early limited-edition sketchbooks, fantasy portfolios, and gaming supplements.
