Artist's Comments

"With bony hands I hold my partner/ On soulless feet we cross the floor/ The music stops as if to answer/ An empty knocking at the door/ It seems his skin was sweet as mango/ When last I held him to my breast/ But now we dance this grim fandango/ And will four years before we rest. "

This is a picture I did of Manny Calavera a character from one of my favourite games of all time, 'Grim Fandango'. The game was written, directed and at least partly designed by a very talented Mr. Tim Schafer. But LucasArts own it now he left the company, which is a pity because without people like Tim on board I'm certain that we will see less original titles like 'Monkey Island,' and 'Grim Fandango' coming out of LucasArts and instead be swamped with heaps and heaps of boring Star Wars games. I guess thats what makes money these days :(

It's a shame, indeed. At least there are people like you honouring the greatness of such games by doing lovely fanart of their heroes.

Well somebody has to do it! Its a tad annoying that everyone only ever notices your tributes to other peoples characters, hehehe I'm a popularity leach! I guess the shame is lessened by the fact that Tim Schafer left to start his own games company named Double Fine so aleast the games industry will continue to benifit from his talent. But still adventure games appear to be a dying breed and thats very unfortunate... well from my perspective it is
