Description

Jill Thompson Delirium Watercolor Illustration Original Art also Signed by Neil Gaiman (undated). Delirium by Jill Thompson drawn during her tenure as artist on Sandman. According to Wikipedia, "The most commonly recognized source of inspiration for Delirium is that of Neil's personal friend and well-known musician Tori Amos ("...Neil believes I'm more Delirium than Tori, and Death taught me to accept that..."). However, in The Sandman Companion, Gaiman stated specifically that he did not meet Tori Amos until several years after the Delirium character had been created. In that book Gaiman listed the immediate inspirations as postmodern feminist writer Kathy Acker, artist Jill Thompson, and parts of himself. Granted, he'd later admit "Delirium was created before I met Tori, but we steal shamelessly from each other." The art measures 7.5" x 11" and it is in Excellent condition. Signed by the artist and writer Neil Gaiman at the lower right.
