You may be wondering who is Gerhard. He is the professional name of a Canadian artist known for the elaborately detailed background illustrations in the comics series Cerebus the Aardvark. Gerhard started his association with Dave Sim's Cerebus with issue #65 (August 1984), and continued through its conclusion with #300 in March, 2004. The series was written by Dave Sim, who also drew the foreground figures, and had worked on the self-published series largely solo for the first 64 issues. Gerhard jokingly described his job saying that he "draws tables and chairs behind an aardvark"
Dark Hall Mansion, under license from Warner Bros Entertainment, will release Gerhard's evocative and lovely take for the first film in J. K. Rowling's singularly magical series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." As always, the essence of DHM's Seminal Film Series print releases is to showcase a key artist's personal contribution's to a notable film, and the pairing of the first film that cinematically introduced us all to Harry, Ron, Hermione and the extraordinary world of Hogwarts finds a most gifted collaborator indeed via Gerhard's gift for rendering highly intricate and detailed tableau via the handcrafted and labor intensive care of his stirringly meticulous crosshatching technique.
