Artist's Comments

it's just a little illustration i tried to make for the beautiful Gabriel Garcia Marquez' book "Of Love and Other Demons"
i tried to portray a very strange dream both Sierva Maria and Cayetano Delaura had in the book. let me give you the quote:
"Delaura had dreamed that Sierva Marķa sat at a window overlooking a snow-covered field, eating grapes one by one from a cluster she held in her lap. Each grape she pulled off grew back on the cluster. In the dream it was evident the girl had spent many years at that infinite window trying to finish the cluster, and was in no hurry to do so because she knew that in the last grape lay death" (G.G.Marquez,translated byEdithGrossman)
well, there were no real demons in the book of course, or at least they weren't visible, but i just felt like drawing Sierva Marķa de Todos los Įngeles with some dreamlike companions. (my personal favourite from all the demons i drew is the standing black one with a beak:nod:)

OMG I LOVE YOU! you've illustrated two of my all time favourite authors! Gabriel Garcia-Marquez and Philip Pullman, and you have done it beautifully! :D

Oh holy crap. I've been wanting to do illustrations of so many different scenes from "Love in the Time of Cholera" for years now. I absolutely LOVE GG Marquez, and I think you've captured the mood of his work quite well. :zest:

This has a very dream-like mood to it. All of the demons are especially well-drawn. :)

Nice job on the coloring too. ;)
