Storyteller and artist Dean Morrissey brings his boundless imagination
to his latest splendidly detailed canvas. He explains of The
Crimson Comet, “It is an adventure story about a five-year-old
girl named Nora who has talked to the moon ever since she could remember.
Often Nora would drop off to sleep right in the middle of the conversation.
But on this night, as she was listing some of the things about being
five that she was not particularly happy about, the moon suddenly
blinked out like a bulb in a giant nightlight. Afraid of the dark,
Nora runs to her eight-year-old big brother Jack, who, secretly, just
so happens to be a superhero called The
Crimson Comet. In a panic, Nora explains what has happened
and Jack swings into action.Within minutes, the pair are soaring off
into the night sky on his magic vehicle in search of the dark moon.The
story of this journey is about the power of imagination and how these
kids use it to resolve a dreadful situation.Their job is nothing short
of returning celestial elements to their natural order in the universe,
and, let’s face it, you just can’t do that without a healthy
dose of imagination.”

Like children’s stories, Bible stories teach us lessons about
life. “I grew up in a small town and attended a Lutheran grade
school where I was taught many Bible stories at a very early age,”
says artist Scott Gustafson. “I think of my approach to my artwork
as a form of storytelling; and although most of my work to date has
been illustrating fairy tales, nursery rhymes and other forms of literature,
it all really comes down to telling a story in pictures. The story
of Daniel is about a man who is punished for his beliefs by a king
who was swayed by vanity and bad advice. But Daniel is also the story
of true faith in the face of
death and of a man who had the strength of his convictions. I chose
to depict Daniel standing in a pool of mysterious light. Behind and
around him, lions lurk in the shadows—nearly brushing his robes
as they pace to and fro.Yet, these ravenous beasts dare not lay a
single paw on the seemingly vulnerable figure who stands in their
midst. In these turbulent times, the story of Daniel seems very appropriate.
For although his faith is the reason he was thrown to the lions, it
was also Daniel’s faith that ultimately saved him.”
