Dear Gaiman, I'm not a huge fan of Sandman (I'm more into good omens and American gods and anansi boys) but my dad read it few years ago. He once told me that he was friends with cinamon,the girl who death was based off of. My dad says they met through being among with the other homeless kids in the area. Is cinamon a real person and if so, did you know her? P.S. my dad still has an autographed poster where you wrote "eat something" because he was so skinny at the time
Yes, her name was Cinamon Hadley, and she was a friend of Mike Dringenberg, the artist, who borrowed her face and look for Death.
I didn’t know her, although we sent messages to each other from time to time, but I wish I had. She died in 2016.

(ENG) Intensive learning of the cyanotype process with @vera_eikona and @annelou.buzot these last days. Thank you 🤩! I’m so much happy and enthusiastic about this technique straight out of the 19th century. I was able to experience it on two of my photos. There is no doubt about it, it’s an other charm than a digital print! Silhouette lost in the night 🌙 Now I will need a lot of perseverance to assimilate all this knowledge and continue this learning… What do you think? . . (FR) Apprentissage intensif du procédé cyanotype auprès de @vera_eikona et de @annelou.buzot ces derniers jours. Un grand merci 🤩 ! Je suis tellement contente et enthousiasmée par cette technique tout droit sortie du 19ème siècle ! J'ai pu l'expérimenter sur deux de mes photos. Il n'y a pas à dire, c'est un tout autre charme qu'un tirage numérique ! Silhouette de nuit perdue. Maintenant il va me falloir beaucoup de persévérance pour assimiler toutes ces connaissances et pour suivre cet apprentissage… Vous en pensez quoi ?
