We Love Your Artsy Side! |

This page is dedicated to E.G. Foley fan art of all kinds. Yes, even tattoos! We find it incredibly flattering that some of our readers get inspired enough by our work that they take the time to showcase their artistic talents by recreating our characters and scenes. It’s super fun for us to see how you guys interpret our writing with your own imagination. And one of our fans was so moved by The Gryphon Chronicles that they had Claw the Courageous, a.k.a. Red, tattooed on their arm. Wow! Now, that’s AMAZING! Thanks everyone for making our day!

Feel free to send your E.G. Foley art to egfoley@egfoley.com.
We’d love to post it on our website!

A Gryphon Chronicles Poem
~by Judy Williams This wonderful Gryphon Chronicles poem makes us very happy. And the timing can't be any better as we are working our way towards the climax of THE DEVIL'S LAIR. We are just thrilled and honored that someone would take the time to write such a fun and clever poem about our stories. We are very touched. Thank you so much, Judy! Your poem is charming and so are you! :) |

Isabelle and her Unicorns
~by 9-year-old Cadence
We just adore these 2 drawings of Isabelle with her Unicorns. Can you tell which Gryphon Chronicles scenes they depict? We don't want to drop any Gryphon Chronicles spoilers here on our website, so we'll just let you guess. But we'll give you a hint... The first drawing is from THE LOST HEIR and the second one is from THE BLACK FORTRESS. And just for some perspective: these are large drawings. Cadence used 9 pieces of paper taped together for each one. Thank you so much, Cadence. We think your art ROCKS!

THE LOST HEIR Final College Project Video
~by art student MaGaby
Check out this short animation video that one of our fans created as her final art project in college. It's from THE LOST HEIR where Jake uses his telekinesis to nick a mincemeat pie from Harris the Pieman in Covent Garden Market. MaGaby says it's quite raw, but we love it, and find it quite charming. Thanks, MaGaby! It's been such a thrill for us to watch your artistic skills grow and mature over the years. Can you believe THE LOST HEIR came out in 2012? We are super-honored with how often you have chosen The Gryphon Chronicles as your subject matter. It means the world to us! :)

The Gryphon Chronicles Musical Compositions
~by 15-year-old composer Thomas J.
Well, this is different, completely unexpected, and quite magnificent. Thomas J. has created original music to go along with THE LOST HEIR and JAKE & THE GIANT. These pieces are wonderful! Thomas captured the spirit of our stories PERFECTLY. He's like a young Hans Zimmer - and if he writes this powerfully at 14/15, we can't imagine what he'll be doing by the time he's 21. Thomas J. rocks! And if Hollywood were making a movie of The Lost Heir, we'd pick him for our cinematic composer in a heartbeat. Thanks, Thomas! You nailed it!

~Troll novels by W. M. Hainline
These two books were written by one of our biggest fans, W. M. Hainline, when he was in fourth and fifth grade. The stories don't have anything to do with the Gryphon Chronicles, but we are including them on our Fan Art page because young Mr. Hainline mentioned us in his book dedication and said we're his favorite authors and that we inspired him to write his own stories. What an honor! Thanks WM!!! (You can even buy his books on Amazon!)

Sapphira and Fionnula Looking Beautiful!
~Drawings by Talia P.
We are so lucky to have such talented readers -- the best fans in the world! Here we have Sapphira swimming past the underwater temple in SECRETS OF THE DEEP looking lovely with her hair all flowing about. And next, we have Fionnula Coralbroom in her siren form, singing an enchanted song, luring the unsuspecting sailors to crash into the rocks as described in THE LOST HEIR. Those poor sailors have no idea what's about to hit them. Thank you so much, Talia. We love them both! :)

WOW!!! The Gryphon Chronicles Characters Group Portrait.
~Artwork by S. Vanderbona
This is amazing! AMAZING! What an absolute treat it was for us to receive this group portrait. We are incredibly honored that one of our UK fans spent the time and care to do this. Soooo talented, AND the characters' expressions and appearances are so well done that we guessed nearly all of them. They are all so good! Gael's favorites are grumpy Maddox, the dwarves, and the Merlin Hall gnome. She also thinks Miss Helena is beautiful and Astrid is amazing! Eric says his favorites are Janos, Tex, Nixie, and Jake. Oh, and of course, Archie. He just adores the little boy genius. Thank you so much for sending this to us! YOU ROCKED IT!
How many can you name without looking at the character list below the portrait?

Home-Made Costume Art
G. writes: For my birthday in November, a couple of weeks after Halloween, I was in the mood to celebrate with a costume party. So I invited friends and family and jokingly said, "Extra points for anyone who dresses up as a character from one of my books, haha." Well, wouldn't you know it, all my family and friends came dressed up as my characters!!! I was FLOORED. Here's me with my nephew and niece, Leo, age 5 (the Gryphon!) and Teagan, age 6 (Gladwin!) She even had a glitter-covered Happy Birthday Aunt Gael scroll for me strapped across her back like a real fairy courier. xo! Thanks to my baby sister, Janeen, their mom, who made the kids' adorable costumes. :)
Nightstalker costume for Halloween. These spectral assassins are nearly impossible to defeat.

Super-Scary! Watch your back, Jake. I'd say they nailed it!

With THE BLACK FORTRESS official release day falling at midnight on Halloween, one of our awesome superfans decided to dress up as, well... you can see!! He's the book itself! How amazing is that!!! So funny and creative. Thanks to A. and his family for all the effort that must have gone into this amazing costume, and for making our big release day all the brighter.

CHECK THIS COSTUME OUT!!! This homemade Halloween costume of Red was made by one of our 10-year-old readers in California. AMAZING! We were speechless when we first saw it. She made the shirt and the mask herself and had some help with the wings from mom using tons of feathers and a whole lot of hot glue. We would not be surprised if this gryphon can actually fly! :)
