DeathTatOriginal
The original inked artwork based on my design ideas and sketches that I commissioned comic book artist (and Sandman alum) Richard Case to realize as a polished and inkable template for my Tattoo. Rich wasn't quite up to doing the text so the text design is mine and was added later via either Coreldraw or Photoshop, I forget. I mocked up about a dozen text styles and layouts and sent my favourite few to a select group of friends and people I respected for their opinions. Their was a varied response but this was by far the most selected and was my choice as well. I did the text originally in this colour because I wanted to breathe an idea of colour into the piece and I wasn't quite sure how to since Death is of course more or less black and white. For the finished Tat the text is of course black which is far better for readability and permanence..

This lil ink blotch was probably around ten years in the making. It has been in my mind in some form for at least that long. About a year ago I decided to put things into motion and finally commit to getting it done. I had originally intended to do the art myself but my once upon a time talent has over many years of neglect and un-use eroded away like a sand castle at high tide. I spent a few days doing very rough sketches and jotting down notes in the margins trying to get all the info from lo those many years onto the paper so I could hand it off to another more capable illustrator to bring to life. I then put together a very short list of artists who had worked on Sandman that I thought would be right for the job. I settled on Richard Case (remembered most for his classic run on Doom Patrol) for many reasons including a) He's a super nice guy. b) He's a fellow NCer. c) He work.
