(UPDATE: Unbelievably, when Neil Gaiman himself got wind of this image via the Twitterverse, thanks to Steve Gettis, my blog received around 5000 hits in 24 hours!)Hey guys,
Steven Gettis has been bugging me for a whole year to contribute a drawing to his very impressive website where he collects artistic interpretations of literary characters and authors.
The sheer amount of top talent that he's recruited is astounding (God knows what dirt he's got on these guys!), and I'm very proud to be asked to join the gang.
Above is the Neil Gaiman drawing I contributed, obviously inspired by his incredible "Graveyard Book". Generally I shy away from doing "likenesses", but hopefully I haven't done that bad a job this time....
Thank Buffy I can finally cross him off my list now....
Right, back to drawing Dredd...

Really appreciate it Jim! I don't think I'll be taking on any more "likenesses" jobs though--they're always too hit and miss for me. you really wouldn't want to see the picture I was asked to do for my mate's wedding...never again....
