Griffith Robert “Griff” Littlehale is an artist who focuses on sketching, as well as digital works that encompass logos and posters for events. With a strong interest in literature, Griffith Littlehale enjoys classic American writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to Bret Easton Ellis.
As detailed in a New York Times profile, Ellis emerged in 1985 with “Less Than Zero” and a reputation as a member of the “Brat Pack of literature.” At the time of his debut, Ellis was a 21-year-old undergraduate who vividly depicted a “rich, disaffected” teenage Los Angeles milieu. His second novel, American Psycho, was a work of New York noir that provoked, becoming emblematic of the early 1990s. Since that time, Ellis has authored seven books and earned a reputation as a serious writer committed to “art for art’s sake.”
In his most recent essay collection, published in 2019, Ellis takes up topics that range from the “digital echo chamber” to the spread of “relatability” as an aspired-to value. As Ellis sees it, this results in inclusion of only those of a particular mindset. Another issue he delves into is how, in the “tweeting world,” nuance and context are eschewed for the shallow and hysterical, which has a negative effect on society.
