Saul Marquez
As far as I know, Saul only has one completed piece of artwork relating to Harry Potter, but it’s one I love enough that I consider it worthwhile to ask his permission to use it all the same. I think he strikes just the right tone for the opening chapter of the books.
About the Artist
I live in the USA and am 17 years old. Aside from working on my art, I’m also an author and am looking to self-publish my first novel (Space Dog and the Solar Stone Code) before the end of this year and the sequel sometime next year. I also manage and maintain an Inheritance Cycle fansite, The Brisingr Network and am a staffer at the Twilight Saga Fansite, Twilight Source. I’m most comfortable doing my art on a sheet of regular paper. I’ll just whip out any old plain mechanical pencil to sketch out my drawing and if I like it a lot, I may take color it in with colored pencil, crayon or scan it onto my computer and add detail and color with GIMP.

Saul Marquez’s artwork
‘Hagrid’s Rescue’ from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, chapter 1
Wow. This reminds so much of a Vincent Van Gogh (one of my favourite artists) type of painting, especially Hagrid’s beard and the moon. Very impressive.

As i was browsing the website of your trilogy I stumbled upon the link leading to this work of art. Words cannot express how well done this is. Well done; I look forward to reading you book after it is ordered.
