Artist's Comments

Did these as part of a project for my Young Adult Lit class based on Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard book.
Wandered around a local cemetery taking photos and then imagined who the graves might belong to--drew those on tracing vellum paper and layered them on top of the photos.

This is a great effect and a simple but thoughtful tribute. I think we all wonder who those graves belong to when we see cemeteries.
I feel a twinge of sorrow for the one with the mother and babies.
We have a "children's row" in our local cemetery that has graves from the turn of the last century.

I know how you feel...I am always a bit taken aback by families who lost children...those little gravestones from long ago...so demure and so lonely, seemingly. These are so subtle and so creepy (the ghoulish one, is that an open crypt?)

yeah, that one was really sad--it was this woman, Cristiana Barker listed as "wife of Isaac Barker" and all these sons of Isaac Barker and daughters of Isaac Barker (7 of them) none of whom lived to be more than a year old, and Isaac Barker's grave was nowhere to be found.

That is strange. Makes you wonder whatever happened to him? Could he have been the victim of foul play?

I don't know, maybe he went off to war or something and got buried elsewhere. Or he moved somewhere else after his wife died and wound up buried there.

Very nice work on these illustrations. It makes me curious about the book.

the book is quite good, as is everything Neil Gaiman.
