Death with an Asian flavor

DEATH from Emerald City

Emerald City Comic Con was fun. Thanks to everyone who came out this past weekend!

Here is a drawing of Death done at the show...



Stumptown is next. Feel free to send sketch requests now if you're going to be there.

The last of the commissions done early last week.

Madame Xanadu plays cards with Death / Stumptown Preorders

Here is one of my latest commissions, featuring Madame Xanadu and Death from Sandman playing cards on the steps of Madame Xanadu's brownstone.



Now seems as good a time as any to open up preorders on sketches for the Stumptown Comics Fest. This will be especially important because I won't be there full time. Jamie and I will be signing at the Oni Press table, and so I won't have as much time to sit and draw as when I do a full show.

As usual, I lower my rates a little for cons. Prices on the floor will be $40 black-and-white, $80 color (I don't usually do much color at cons, so that especially would be good to preorder). These would be basically for one figure, $10 more per character.

Order now, pick up and pay at the convention. E-mail Jamie at golightly[at]gmail[dot]com. He will keep the list. You can look at the ones I did for Emerald City last month to get an idea of how I work.

Stumptown is in Portland, Oregon, and it is April 16 and 17. Details here.

Tax time is coming up, too, so we might be running a sale here on original art to prepare for the blow. Stay tuned.

TWO COMMISSIONS: Nimue and Death

A Madame Xanadu commission.




The brief here was "Death from Sandman in a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki movie," so here is Death in the Princess Mononoke forest.

SANDMAN: ORPHEUS & EURYDICE

Another piece for Rob Casteel as part of his project to have artists recreate favorite Sandman scenes. This particular painting is based on Sandman Special #1 by Neil Gaiman, Bryan Talbot, and Mark Buckingham. Bit of trivia: Alisa Kwitney, who wrote Token, was an assistant editor on the series at the time.

Some more Endless

Rob Casteel has gotten multiple Sandman-related drawings from me, and his collection of art featuring Neil Gaiman's characters is extensive, maybe the biggest there is. You should check out the whole online gallery.

These two pieces haven't been posted here before.

This Death is from 2006:

This Delirium is from about a year ago:

SANDMAN: DREAMS OF GAIMAN

That title will be a lot funnier to those of you who went to the masquerade at Comic Con this year. Say it out loud in a slow, ostentatious manner, and maybe you'll hear it.

Anyway, here are a few commissions I've done of the Endless. Delirium and Dream were actually done at conventions.

Thanks to Rob for sending scans of those two. If you have sketches that I've done at conventions that you don't think I have copies of and you have access to a scanner, please send them to the gmail address.

The picture below came out quite nice, I think. I'm thumbnailing it here because it's wide, but you can click on it to go to a larger version at Jamie's Flickr account.
