Andrew Mar's 'Sound of Her Wings' painting is sure to quench the thirst Neil Gaiman fans have for new Sandman-related content.
Taking its title from an issue of the comic series, Mar's illustrations depict Morpheus, along with his sister, Death, at the climax of the graphic novel's narrative, as Morpheus prepares to have his life taken. What will surely dazzle viewers' eyes is Mar's ability to use quick and wispy brush strokes to depict ravens and a beautiful horizon that acts as the backdrop of the scene.
Most, if not all, of Andrew Mar's paintings are punctuated by a surreal dream-like quality, making him the perfect artist to render ethereal images similar to the ones found throughout the Sandman series.
Mar currently resides in San Franscisco, California, where he studies and works as an artist.
