Where can I find this print?

January 6, 2004 10:24 AM

A case of too many Google results--can anyone help me track down a copy of a print that appeared only momentarily in the movie "Amelie"? The illustration was shown as a wall hanging in the heroine's bedroom, and features the back view of a child and a bear walking beside a river.

YES! Who would have thought it was a Gorey?! Love EG & I've never seen this before watching the movie. Many, many thanks!

Er, not a Gorey, but a Michael Sowa. But still a favorite image!

He's written and illustrated a number of books. He's not too dissimilar to Sean Tan, whose books for kids are freakin' amazing.

Also the artist behind the dog in the cone collar featured in the same film
