Artist's Comments

My plan was to lead a life of power and debauchery, then repent on my death bed. The failure of the other party to come to the table put a crimp in my plans, however.

My recent fooling around with self-portraits led me to illustrate one of those formative moments of my youth. I only wish I'd actually had those books... (One of them is kind of a joke--Diane Duane, a fabulous woman and an acquaintance of mine, wrote a wonderful series that started with "So You Want To Be A Wizard." I couldn't resist the homage.)

Prints are available for anyone else who wanted to play Faust as a child but was foiled. They're $10 and $20 respectively, plus shipping--send a note or visit [link] for details.

Oh, man, Diane Duane. I love her books.

I love this picture, too -- you've got a great style.

Look, it would save me a lot of time if you just gave up and went mad now.

The sound of pain is muted by a thousand living strings.

:XD: Great picture... I tried to sell my soul to the devil once or twice... but I still have no multi-million comic book deal! BAH!

The best way to deal with a world gone mad is to think up something more absurd.
:iconwadefurlong:
I tried that as well, when he didn't come I found a disturbing yet satisfying reason why the devil didn't show. ...turns out I couldn't sell my soul to myself. Yep, I'm the devil. Sorry I couldn't make it, let me know if you're still up for a deal............ ;)

...frighteningly enough, I was just reading some stuff out of my copy of Doctor Faustus not five minutes before I logged on and saw this.

...the universe has a quirky sense of humor.
