Description

Jill Thompson wrote Scary Godmother as a story for her nieces and nephews because she wasn't thrilled with the material available to them. Given its success, I think she was correct. Besides the original book and its successors, there are various spinoffs and two films, Scary Godmother: Halloween Spooktakular and Scary_Godmother: The Revenge of Jimmy.

I met Jill at Baltimore Comic Con '22 and commissioned her for this cover. Kathy decided to make it a gift so I got my money back from her. :) Jill kept in touch despite many issues in her life and the piece arrived in a reasonable amount of time - communication is important! However, that meant that it joined Kathy's secret stash until November, 20th, our 42nd anniversary.

The scene is entirely Jill's though I did do the obvious and pointed out that Sheldon Mayer often did holiday scenes and she had a character that would fit. Hey, I'm no dummy.

I think it's delightful. Kathy liked it so much she had me make an 11x17 print on photo paper that we attached to foam core. She uses it as a Halloween decoration.

Note:

Kathy had me do this more than a year BEFORE I was allowed to add it to my collection and post it. She works way ahead. I had to suffer for a year! :)

In the Additional Images, you will see progress shots, the CQA that came with the piece, a photo of Jill with the art (there seems to be a resemblance between SG and Jill), and the paint brush that was used on the art.

I am totally delighted by the experience and the results.

The COA also deserves to be framed! It looks like a diploma! I like the colors all are within the fall look!

Wow! That's phenomenal! She is such a wonderful watercolorist, and when combined with that terrific line of hers, the result is lively, rich, and wonderful (again!). Congrats Alex (and Kathy)!
