Scarecrow # 1 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

In The Kindly Ones, Dream met five small children who were searching for their lost mother. He entertained them with scarecrows “who whispered among themselves in the voices of the stars of the silent screen.”

This is one of the four scarecrows who performed for the children. He appears in Sandman # 64, page 1, panel 1.

Anna’s personal touches, like the spirals in the scarecrow’s hair and the thick linework make this character fun and interesting to look at. I appreciate the use of deep pinks and oranges; they add a nice warmth to the piece.
