One of my first exposures to art was a big book of the production art for the original King Kong movie. The amazing stop motion of Willis O'brien was mind warping to me, and All these beautiful pencil drawings of dinosaurs based on the art of Charles R. Knight, an artist who came over from Germany did these amazing pencil drawings for pre production so the studio would know what the island of dinosaurs would look like. I poured over these drawings for hours... sadly, I don't have that book anymore, and I cannot find ref on the net who the artist was who drew them. But I did find these images! Kong fights the giant snake in his lair. And this masterpiece - I remember every line of it... I studied it so long as a kid with a big library book in my lap. I think looking at this piece of art is what made me want to draw. Amazing. Anyone know who drew this? His name? All I recall is he came over from a German movie studio. I think in honor of this unsung artist, I'm going to include my pencil drawing of the Sea Creature's lair along with whoever purchases the original acrylic painting of the "Body Glove Sea Creature".
