Imps And Monsters: Ten Years Of Art
Imps And Monsters: Ten Years Of Art By Justin Hillgrove is a fantastic collection of around 240 pages of paintings, sketches, stories, commentaries and more. The book is broken up into chapters, each following a loose chronological order, as well as being grouped somewhat by theme. The focus is, of course, on the paintings but there are quite a few sketches, stories and commentaries scattered throughout the book as well. There is also a chapter that touches on some of Justin's toy design, comics and murals and an overview of his painting technique.
Note: The original, 2016 first edition printing is sold out. This digital edition is a 2nd edition that varies somewhat in dimensions, content and page count. While I hope to eventually do a second printing, I have no immediate plans to do so.

11" x 17" Open Edition Prints
Open edition prints are UNFRAMED and unsigned laser reproductions printed on 11″x17″ acid-free heavyweight paper. Each print is packaged in cellophane and shipped rolled in a tube. The image includes a white border with the title, making it easy and affordable to frame without the need for a mat. Fits standard 11″x17″ frames, widely available at most frame or craft stores, as well as online. See example image below.
Giclée Prints
Giclée prints are high-quality reproductions known for their accurate colors and longevity, closely resembling the original artwork. Each print is signed and numbered by Justin Hillgrove, with editions ranging from 10 to 250 across watercolor and canvas giclées of various sizes. Prints should be kept away from high UV light. Justin may enhance, embellish, or remarque prints and, in rare cases, create additional reproductions outside an edition.
Watercolor Giclée Prints (Prep time: 1-3 days)
Watercolor giclé prints are created on lightly-textured, heavy cotton paper using fully archival inks. A small white border is included in order to facilitate matting (currently 1″ on all sides). It is recommended that you take your print straight to a framer, and keep it protected until then to avoid damage. Water, your hands, hard objects & adhesives can damage the surface of your print. See sample images below.
Stretched Canvas Giclée (Prep time: Up to 2 weeks)
Stretched canvas giclée prints are produced on artist-quality, archival canvas with fully archival inks, (print-permanence rated at 100 – 200 years on canvas). All canvas prints have a coat of UV inhibiting varnish. Your canvas comes stretched and back-stapled to a 3/4″ wooden frame, with black sides, ready to hang on a wall. Note: Due to some health issues, starting November 2024, most canvas printing and stretching will be outsourced, so you may see minor differences in color, sheen, stretcher bars, etc. from those you may have received previously. Justin has done a lot of research, testing, ordering, etc. to find a partner that produces canvases whose quality is as close as possible to his own. Canvases will still be signed/numbered by Justin. See example images below.

(I try to keep everything in stock but occasionally one slips past me).
