I found this book today while I was browsing in INDIGO BOOKS... of course I immediately picked it up...

THE PHAROH'S GATE is the latest entry in the GRIFFIN & SABINE series by BC artist & author Nick Bantock...

I remember how I was first introduced to Nick Bantock's GRIFFIN & SABINE trilogy. It was a long time ago when I was in high school, in grade 10 or 11, by a substitute art teacher nonetheless. I was immediately drawn to his work as I loved Bantock's ability to mix stunning artwork with a compelling narrative. Looking back on the series now, I really appreciate how Bantock's artwork has a surrealist dada like feel to their compositions where each piece seems to reveal something new with every viewing.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bantock during the release of his second trilogy at a few readings he did in Metro Vancouver. During one of the Q&A sessions I think I was the only one to ask about how he went about creating the art for the series - everyone else was more concerned about the story. British Columbia's Knowledge Network produced this short video about Bantock and his work, great for anyone who isn't familiar with his work:

PHAROH'S GATE was just released last month in 2016, and it marks the seventh title in this extraordinary  series. I'm not sure if I should dive into it fresh right now or revisit the original two trilogies first. We'll see!
