Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Sting as Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat

"That night the vampire returned to work the dark gift on Louis." We see the vampire known as Lestat consider the consequences of the act, but only for a second! 

My illustration was inspired by Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire and the idea of what Sting would have looked like, had he played the vampire on Broadway as it was proposed many years ago.  

In November of 1999, as fate would have it, after listening to Sting play at the Jones Hall in Houston, I crossed paths with the man himself in an elevator!   He invited me to have drinks with him and his band and I was able to give him one of the only two artist proofs of the limited edition print series.  The other Artist Proof was a gift to Anne Rice.
