This was insanely cool to read through. Ray is a special effects OG and pioneered a lot of monster movie effects through claymation. His skill and eye for detail even at a young age is pretty astounding, reminded me of the ultimate Commercial Arts student. Reading and seeing examples of the artists who inspired him like Gustave Doré was very cool. This book is huge, lends itself well for the artistic reproductions. Also fascinating to read Ray's commentary on the models he's saved for 40-50 years. A true collector. Check out this post for a sample of his work: https://artuk.org/discover/stories/the-cinematic-and-artistic-genius-of-ray-harryhausen
