FIXED AND REVAMPED!!!
‘da sikaurai is pleased to announce a new site theme, and one that is sentimental to her! The Sandman is a relic of ‘da sikaurai’s childhood. . . a beautifully rendered vision of immortal web-spinning deviance—of portrayal as mortal humankind as pieces in a hierarchical game. The universe itself as a tapestry of beautiful visions luminescent and unbeknownst to the limited human mind, so fragile in its mortal state!
Heh. Yeah, ‘da sikaurai waxes nostalgic for the Lord Morpheus and his family, sister Death, as well as Despair, and Destiny, and the androgynous Desire. The Sandman is a series written by Neil Gaiman from 1988 until 1996. It became the flagship of DC's Vertigo imprint, and is kept in print as a series of ten trade paperbacks. It is considered one of the most original, sophisticated and artistically ambitious comic book series of the modern era. Wikipedia even goes on to say that by the time of the series's conclusion, it had made significant contributions to the artistic maturity of English language comic books and become a pop culture phenomenon in its own right.
The Lord of Dreams is known by an array of names, most often Morpheus, but also Oneiros, Lord Shaper, Lord Kai'ckul, the Prince of Stories, and the Carrion King. He is one of a family of seven siblings known as the Endless. The series featured many artists, including the famed Yoshitaka Amano (who was recently featured on Ebony’s site as the theme for last month.)
Here’s an example of Yoshitaka-sama’s cover work:
And of course, here's one pic that stands out in meh memory. . .
‘da sikaurai is also pleased to announce that her PC is now completely repaired, and she is back in the game on all counts. Thanks for your help, dude!
