Artist's Comments

I apologize for the following:

The size of this image when viewed in full

and for not uploading it under fan art. Turns out that there IS no fan art section for traditional mixed media type art stuff. Maybe they think no one would put that amount of time into it. I don't know.

Either way, just to be clear, YES this is intended as Fan Art. I'm sharing it here because I know there are some people who would be very interested in it, and because altered books are a hobby of mine, when I'm not painting faerie people. I will remove it, or put it elsewhere, if anyone is offended by it. No, I'm not making any money off of it, and no, I'm sorry, I can't make you one. :)

If anyone is interested in closeups of a particular page, let me know and I'll upload them to my scrapbook.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGO MGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing...I particularly *love* the page with "You're him, aren't you?" Could you maybe post a close-up of that?

Okay, so this piece is *amazing*. The time and skill displayed (c'mon, that escher room? It's over) is truly inspiring. I love your take on the movie through this book, and since I'm a little (okay, a *lot*) fangirlish. I love this movie, and this is just...damn near rendered me speechless.

Awesome job! I'm so glad you decided to share it.

As you wish: [link]

Someday soon I'll finish the escher room page. Most of this book was inspired by the "Peach Dream" sequence. I wanted it to be very decadent, lots of ribbons, lots of glitter, lots of feathers and rhinestones. I also wanted the sort of shabby beauty of the rest of the film. Different pages were inspired by different things, too. Like the "Stars" page is the same color and glitteriness of Jareth's coat in the peach dream.

I'm really glad you like it. I've been wanting to share it for awhile, but haven't had a digital camera in order to do so.

....oh. my. god.

I am just...awed. I mean, WOW. This is so inspired! I LOVE it!! It's beautiful and creative.. and... just.... ZOMG. I'm at a loss for words! I can't even FATHOM how much time this took you...

You really MUST post a close-up of the escher room pages when it's finished, won't you? Even unfinished, it already looks like it's going to be amazing! Please do. :heart:

Wow, you have no idea how inspiring this is. If it weren't, like, almost two in the morning, I'd be running off to try something creative (although of course it wouldn't be anything even half as amazing as THIS!).

:heart::heart::heart:

stupid book wouldn't stay open. and then I realized what it looked like and... I was NOT taking all those photos again. So my apologies, but at least you can get a glimpse of my pretty engagement ring. :D
