Sandman Dream of 1000 Cats glitter magnet (1990)

This stand alone issue has stayed with me since I read it back in 1990 (35 years ago!!!)

"and then I stood before him"..

the photo doesn't show it well, but there are tiny pieces of glitter behind the glass

fun trivia: For the Netflix episode of this story, we approached our beloved Coraline director Henry Selick to do in his gorgeous stop motion, but he was finishing up a film and couldn't fit it into his schedule. I always wonder what he would have done with this! 

Years ago, I had a flood in my beach apartment that left me with many damaged comics- I began to make art out of them, as I couldn't bear to part with them.

All hand-cut glass (cut by me, with many scars to show for it!) and framed in copper, these are all original panels, when I know which comic it was, I identify it..but sometimes I have no clue. People have been sending me their damaged comics to transform.

If you search the internet for the hashtag #glasscandybar you can see many of my past pieces.

 I  got a lovely note from JJ Abrams when I sent him a few of my pieces: 

They will come in a box (if the piece fits! otherwise, a very sturdy bubblewrap job) All backings are different things, recycled packaging etc, like so:

I also have mirrors and soon matchbooks in this style, go look around!
