Gris Grimly is an award-winning illustrator renowned for his macabre yet playful style in children’s and young adult books, with a career spanning over two decades across publishing, film, animation, and design. His Wicked Nursery Rhymes evolved into a cult-favorite book that helped launch Baby Tattoo Books, while his illustrated editions of classics like Edgar Allan Poe’s works have become widely used in schools. Grimly has collaborated with major publishers, bestselling authors, and studios including Disney and DreamWorks, and today continues to create books after returning to Nebraska with his family.
