Publish Keith James/TheGeekCanPaint's Illustrated Editions of the Harry Potter books
Final supporters
Requesting publication of Keith James' illustrated editions of the Harry Potter books.
Or (at least)
Give him permission to produce them himself.
A message from Keith James:
As a fan, I would simply love to see illustrated editions of the Harry Potter books released. I think the stories have been available long enough now without illustrations, and many fans would enjoy to see them besides just me.
As an artist, it would simply be my dream job to illustrate the books... so much so, that I basically already am. So farI've completed 43 paintings and 313 drawings for the first 2 books alone. I've shared this artwork in various places and it has virtually always been received with positive responses, many wanting to see it published.
But more than just making me happy, it would make the fans happy.
I think I am the best artist for the job fans would like to see get done. I believe my style compliments the Harry Potter stories very well and you'll never find anyone more true to the original text, or passionate about seeing the project through... after all I'm essentially doing it now, for free.
To see the illustrations and learn more about (what I lovingly refer to as) "The Potter Project" please visit:

The art is absolutely AMAZING, The style is so unique, yet it fits the books perfectly. Not to mention the covers really are fantastic.
i love the art can't wait too see the rest. I'd buy the books again if they had this art in it.
These illustrations are so full of detail, and are beautifully rendered. They have given me a whole new look into the world of harry potter. I never thought i would see illustrations that surpassed my imagination!
This artist deserves to have his work seen by every Harry Potter fan. His attention to the details from the BOOKS give his art an element that while not unique, has a distinctive style and a child-like wonderment that only Mr. James produces. His take on many scenes, famous and infamous, would make an excellent addition to any Potter fan's collection. Furthermore, with the new movie coming out, this would be an excellent time to produce illustrated editions.
I love the Harry Potter series and have always wanted to see it captured visually in a great art style (that isn't anime). I really would love it if this get published!
It would be so amazing to finally have illustrated editions of the Harry Potter books! The illustrations are amazing, and it is such a perfect idea! Best of luck!

I would definitely buy the illustrated books. Keith James' illustrations are an exceptional portrayal of the characters and story.
