Neil Gaiman’s poem "100 Words" has long been one of my favorite reflections on the inevitable passing through the veils... "A hundred words to talk of death?At once too much and no t enough.My plans beyond that final breathare currently a little rough.The dying thing comes on so slow:reluctance to get out of bedis magnified each day and so transmuted into dead.I dream of dying all alone,nobody there to watch me passnothing remains for me to own,no breath remains to fog the glass.And when I do put down my penmy memories will fly like birds.When I am done, when I am dead,and finished with my hundred words." The CBLDF and I approached one of my personal art heroes, Jim Lee. about illustrating Neil's poem. Jim's attention to detail is riveting, from the tiny etched bottles on the shelves to the faint hint of a skull hiding under a beautiful face.We now share it with you. Five dollars from each print will benefit the CBLDF, our steadfast friends in the east who are there in the light and in the darkness, fighting for our civil rights.Featuring ever-precise lettering by Todd Klein, who brought Neil's words so vividly to life in Sandman. This piece measures 10" x 28" printed in soy ink on heavy 100% recycled archival stock, with a 1" & 2" white border around the art for breathing room. The flecks in the paper are indicative of the recycled nature. I think it adds to the beauty. This is a limited print edition with a numbered run of 750. We are offering a small amount signed only by Neil, you can select from the drop down menu. Show more
