Mark Lone’s "The Secret of Nimh" Poster Revealed
Wow. This is really taking me back. Making me feel old and nostalgic at the same time, or is that actually the same thing? The Secret Of Nimh both frightened me and fascinated me at the same time when I was a child. To see reimagined print poster at this point in my life makes me want to set up a viewing of the flick again.
Mark Lone: "Being a fan of 80′s animation, I must admit, I wore out my VHS tape of The Secret of NIMH, my favorite Don Bluth movie. I learned so much during the process of making this piece while studying as much as I could from the movie concept sketches and character designs (some even by Don himself). I realized after starting this print that I have always drawn owls (and I have drawn a few of owls) very dark and ominous, much like “the great owl”… it was at that point I recognized how much this movie had impacted my artistic style subconsciously, even when I was a kid. So thank you to everyone involved with the making of such a great movie."
