That anecdote of Grandpré having a panic attack over JK "Jo" Rowling smudging the unfixed pastel art made me chuckle and beam from ear to ear.

this was a really great video, very through! I had wanted to do a video myself on this subject but honestly you did an amazing job, so much research! thank you so much for posting, its hard to find much info on her online. Its so devastating she did not get royalties for book sales or the logo design!

[@charlesrainey1076]

Indeed a great find channel wise. Especially liking the fresh subjects for videos

[@beckezizou]

I love her Harry potter world. The artworks are amazing. I wish AI generate same drawings but they dont because of copyright issues

[@charlesrainey1076]

The length is definitely not a problem.

[@parisbreakfast]

The financials at 25:35 is pretty tragic. That she got a flat fee with no royalties for future re-usage is unconscionable by the publishers. Her design for the Harry Potter logo used by the films and future books could have provided instant retirement funds. Too many illustrators lack an agent or the savvy to get themselves good contracts with publishers. The fact the published moved on to lesser artists for later books using possibly digital techniques indicates their modus operandi. Another unique & wonderful artist whose talents were taken advantage of.

Another, awesome, video!!! Your accuracy and zest/admiration for the artists keeps me coming back! So interesting!!!😍💙🎨🖼❤🤩

killer videos dude! no need to make them shorter, was a great watch

[@parisbreakfast]

Agreed. The length is fine. Maybe consider not using white typography on a light ground…illegible 🙏

[@RUHappyATM]

Did the author, with her billion, give her a few million out of good will. If not I suppose greed is good.

[@श्रीजनरिजाल]

The fact that the artist never received a penny from the films despite the films using her logo is infuriating.

Enjoy your work.
