The Door

I've been reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman recently and it shows. Although I could never aspire to the amazing levels of fantasy and imagination that he and his artistic crew achieve I can dream...

I found this new story 'The Door' an absolute joy to write. I used watercolour pencils to achieve the soft pastel effect I wanted and tried very hard to make each page as interesting as possible.

I also tried to show a juxtaposition between the real world and the fantasy one by using clear divides in artistic styles ie- the real world in black and white, the fantasy world and her paintings in colour.

I wanted to explore a little as well, the nature of art and what is considered worthwhile and who chooses the art that is revered.

It's a little clumsy and obvious but it was fun, I enjoyed every page and am very happy with the overall result.

I hope you enjoy your time through 'The Door'.
