Artist's Comments

Disclaimer: no, I do not obsessively stalk Mr Gaiman...

I'm just a big fan of all his works. And we had an portrait assignment in my press illustration class, and he was my choice. Sadly few of my French classmates know The Sandman, or many of his novels...

non mais merde a la fin, il est carrement pas assez connu en France.

Gouache, portait drawn from several photo references. Spot the allusions to his works...

O.O..your amazing ..!

Joli ! Il rend super bien ^^
C'est vrai qu'il n'est pas très connu, mais du peu que j'ai lu (Neverwhere), j'ai trouvé ça vraiment très bien écrit et très intéressant...

Wow. WOW. Why doesn't this have more favorites?

Did this portrait inspire your classmates to examine some of his writings? Something has to. *shakes head at such sad ignorance*

Thanks. :thanks:

On reflection and seeing the portrait shrunk down, I'm thinking I lengthened his face a wee bit though.

And I think a few people took note of the name. (One guy chose Terry Pratchett for the same assignment and knew Good Omens at least.)
Now, if only they'd release MIRRORMASK properly over here and I didn't have to resort to illegal means to get my sweaty little paws on a copy of it... and nobody heard that... :paranoid:

Nice..when I saw the thumbnail I know it looked familiar to me. Love the little fishy and of course the Ankh from death - neat to put htis litle things in the portrai.
Met him once when he was on a lecturing tour through germany for one of his books - think it was "American Gods" ( had me signed my copy of "Neverwhere") Also read all the Sandman Comics and yesterday I also saw his movie Mirror Mask.

Thanks.
You met him? Dat is cool.
Still haven't seen Mirrormask, *frustrated*.
If you like Neverwhere and other Sandman stuff, I hope you saw my fanart pieces in my gallery *shamelessselfplugging*... :D

Sure I have - the Sandman/James Masters pic looks works really good together and Door looks just cool - (love the look of her face - brilliant)
