In "The Art of Grimm," Oregon Art Beat profiles the many Oregon artists and craftspeople behind this hit NBC series that brings fairy tales to life. Known for its fantastical creatures called Wesen, Grimm films every episode right here in Oregon.
One artist who helps to create the show's creepy and crawly world is Eugene native Carly Sertic. She draws and designs many of the pictures for "Aunt Marie's Book of Lore," often working on a tight timeline to get the book pages printed—and aged to look centuries old—in time for broadcast. Learn more about Sertic on the OPB News Blog.

As part of "The Art of Grimm," Producer Jule Gilfillan went behind the scenes as an extra on the show (and learned that timing is everything!). Read about her experiences on OPB Arts and Life, or hear her discuss the hairy details with April Baer on State of Wonder.

Another local artist bringing Grimm to life is Portland's Matvey Rezanov, a painter who creates sets and artwork for the show. OPB profiled Rezanov and his work earlier this year.
