Artist Chris Riddell has created a Christmas gift for the world. He took it upon himself to draw some illustrations for a Neil Gaiman short story called “Nicholas Was…”
Follow this link to see a digital album with all 11 of Riddell’s artistic pieces. Gaiman describes the piece as a “heartwarming Christmas story” in a Facebook post. Readers will find this piece within the 1998 anthology, Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions.
In the past, Riddell has illustrated the U.K. editions of Gaiman’s children’s books. He has also created illustrations for one of Gaiman’s poems, “Locks,” and his “artist’s creed.” Riddell’s daughter, Katy, also followed in her father’s footsteps by producing illustrations for a Gaiman short story called “Babycakes.”
