Faery # 60 (illustrated by Kai Martin)

On June 23rd, 1593, a group of Faeries crossed over to Wilmington, England with Titania and Auberon to see the first performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream written by William Shakespeare at the request of Morpheus.

This Faery appears in Sandman # 19, on page 8, in panel 2.

Kai did a fantastic job with this portrait of one of the many faeries to watch this play. The expression on this faerie’s face seems to express a bit of confusion in regards to the play, which was felt by several of the faeries. I really like the details that Kai put into this portrait and the wisp and curl of his hair. It’s a nice touch.
