neil gaiman and the four illustrators

 the first illustrator, uses lots of paint flicking

 the second uses nice watercolour and loves people's faces

 the third uses conventional comic book techniques

 and this is what the fourth imagines the end of the universe to look like. I remember something like this from reading 'a complete history of graphic design'

 collage!

2. Rupert Bear?! 

Neil Gaiman doing Harry Potter before Harry Potter even existed. Some magic folk come along and tell a skinny kid with black hair that he has magical powers. Then they give him an owl.
Hmm.
