I've been searching but can't seem to find any of his work quite as weird as the Innuendo stuff. What I'd really like is to find a print of something Queen used.

Has anyone else had luck with this?

These are the closest I've found so far:

Edit: And here's a page from Brian's site which shows some of the originals..

Edit: And now I've found a book of his illustrations:

Hmm, perhaps that will have to do. Good price for an 8 x 11.

All I could find. Interesting that so little about someone is on the internet - we should all ask for our money back!

I take that back - I think I've cracked it.

Is 300 pages of the original book "autre monde", which you can view in PDF format.

I have two books (each about 700 pages) with (almost) all pictures of Grandville. If anyone is interested I could make some scans of the pictures Queen used

Yes. The only one I couldn't find was the IGSM one.

Over the years I have collected some books with drawings by Gustave Doré and also have one of Grandville. I've had it for years stored away and just by reading this post I realised I have this book of Grandville from whom Queen used some images! The book I have is called "Scènes de la vie privée et publique des animaux". Just looked through it quickly and found a drawing that looks slightly like the IGSM sleeve. I will make a scan of it. It's not from IGSM but looks a bit like it.

Thank you P_G!!!!!!

I was just going through endless links which seemed to lead to the same small collections of prints.. this PDF book is going to be quite fun to go through :)

PoPPo_G, if you can find the one which became 'Slightly Mad' that would be cool.

Didn't see your post first Rien. That would be great.

The version in my sig is converted to negative form btw, that's why it looks so interesting ;)

I uploaded a few pics into the pictures/miscellaneous section. But when I go to that page I cannot see them yet. These are the pics (the originals from Grandville): Innuendo LP front and back, Innuendo single front and back, Show must go on front and back, I'm going slightly mad front.

Yeah, those seem to take a little while to show up usually. I think the higher ups have to approve them or something ;)

Thanks in advance then for sharing them!

Rien, the book about animals is on the site I linked to, but it's 600 pages. Which page should we look at?
· Member since
PG - you mention a different book. Your book is "Autre Monde" and mine is what I mentioned. Abbreviated it's called "Les Animaux" as you can see on the link to a picture of a book, in a previous post. I have scanned the pic I described and put it on my site, see menu-item Back Chat.

Once I was surfing through a Grandville website and I found a lot of bestiality artwork.
