Flesk Publications is pleased to announce The Art of Craig Elliott with an introduction by Iain McCaig.

Explore the many worlds of one of the most accomplished fine artists working in Hollywood--or anywhere else--today.

Perhaps best known for his contributions to such hit films as Bee Movie, Treasure Planet, Rio and The Princess and the Frog, Craig Elliott is truly a multi-faceted craftsman. Equally adept at designing animated film conceptual art, comic book covers and pages, handcrafted jewelry and landscape architecture, Craig's expansive artistic vision encompasses the worlds of the fine and popular arts, combining classic elements and techniques with their more modern counterparts to create work which is wholly unique...and utterly captivating.

The Art of Craig Elliott collects the best personal, editorial and privately commissioned work by this award-winning artist. Featuring a brand new, stunning cover image created especially for this edition, this volume showcases Craig's uncanny ability to capture the human body--and particularly the female form--in highly original and evocative compositions that possess a palpable atmosphere and a strong sense of place.

Filled with lush, full color finished images, as well as several preliminary sketches and studies, and embellished with decorative borders by the artist, The Art of Craig Elliott is more than just a worthy addition to any art lover's library. It is also an awe-inspiring tour of one artist's fecund imagination, replete with breathtaking vistas and their provocative inhabitants.

This 9 x 12 inch 64 page hardback book contains four gatefolds. The cover price is $29.95 (978-1-933865-39-3).

“Craig Elliott’s women are lovely, beautiful and real,” explains the publisher, John Fleskes. “Craig has the rare ability to positively affect an individual’s mood through the use of color. He does this in a unique and skillful fashion, a trait that is utilized heavily in his role as a visual development artist and character designer for animated films.”
