Ground Control Karaoke Book 3D Lenticular Cover #3

Here's the third in a series of eleven 3D karaoke song-book covers I've made for Ground Control Karaoke.

This is a drawing of a karaoke club full of animated characters including Triana Orpheus and her friend Kim (from The Venture Bros), Cthulhu (from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy), Dream and Death (from The Sandman), Dr. Strange and Clea (from Marvel), Gothbot, Davey Jones (from Pirates of The Caribbean 2), and Marvin The Robot (from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) all in front of posters of John Coltrane, Billie Holiday and "Hello Cthulhu".

My Sandman collection

The Sandman was a DC/Vertigo comic book that ran for 75 issues. It was written by Neil Gaiman and featured personifications of Dream, Death, Delerium (formerly Delight), Despair, Destiny, Desire and Destruction. These 7 "Endless" were siblings and the oldest things that exist in the universe. It's a fantastic series, and rather than tracking down the original comic books, I decided to collect something much rarer: the hardcover first printings of the graphic novels. These books are much harder to track down than the individual issues, especially the Seasons of Mist one and the 2 Death miniseries hardcovers. Included with the Sandman books are a few more softcover trades (all first printings) which were never released as hardcover editions. These include other books either by Neil Gaiman or within the Sandman mythos:

I have the collection on display surrounded by a giant reproduction of Hieronymus Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights". (Thanks go out to my pals Erich Orser and Rebecca Roka for helping me convert a dart board cabinet into a beautiful reproduction of that amazing work!) 

The books are flanked by the ultra-rare large sized Sandman bookends and two porcelain mini figures of Dream and Death:
