Neil Gaiman's 'The Fool', from "15 Cards from a Vampire Tarot"

Page 2.
Page 1 : [link]

Inkwash.
I like that statue, it came out looking very 3D. Of course, the short story rocks--Gaiman's curt, punch-to-the-gut prose has no need of my attempts to illustrate it.

Amazing. I've always loved Gaiman's short stories and this just made it even better.

15 Cards from a Vampire Tarot is one of my favourite Neil Gaiman stories. Right up with "We can get them for you wholesale".

Thanks for drawing this!

These two pages are so gorgeous, and they fit the story so perfectly. Bravo.

Oh, thanks. I'm always glad when the older stuff in my Gallery gets some love, and I was rather proud of this one at the time.

Ah geez. I think Neil Gaimen would be proud. That was a lovely piece, both pages. And I especially love the layout on this page.
