These pages are amazing, and you're absolutely correct, that top panel is just perfect!
I always thought Vess was amazing and would be very happy to have a an original from him. It's awesome to see you get a page that has so much meaning to you. Congrats M L!
You can look at the pictures, but she just can't read
You can feel the emotions, but Morpheus' complete
You can dip Vess' quill in ink pool, but you can't sing a hymn
You can feel Klein's lettering, but money commit is fin
And bank transfer, CAF art debut
We want Neil Gaiman
And you want Vess Sandman fortune
No one, no one, no syphilis is to blame
Stop already.
Vess makes my eyeballs happy. Yep, I wrote that...eat your heart out, Writer Willy! There's something about the quality of Vess' line, and how he finely renders images, that just strike a chord in me. The Raven Banner was a personal favorite, and that carried over to all his work. And I love your clever write-up, too. It's a beautiful page, and now I'm going to go do my taxes. Congrats!
Wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow
The talent involved in this creation penetrates the base of the skull and shudders the heart's confidence. It's beyond glorious to taste the gifts of God blessed artists. Not to mention the enthusiastic and well writ description....methinks this entry to your gallery is most worthy.
Take a bow M L
Gaiman gave us a Shakespeare, who, as a family man, views himself, with good reason, as a great failure, but, who, despite his faults and inability to change, cares deeply for his wife and daughter and feels a deep and abiding regret for the death of his son. The "dichotomy" between Shakespeare's humanity and Morpheus' Endlessness was revealed to be far closer than either would care to admit.
