The Preacher Project: Fan collects sketches for his father's birthday
Preacher cast by Steve Dillon
In May 2011, Ryan Ballard began a quest to create the perfect birthday gift for his father, a comics fan with whom he shares a love of Preacher, the acclaimed Vertigo series by Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon and Glenn Fabry. So Ryan bought a copper album embossed with Fabry's cover art for Issue #56 and set off to fill the book filled with sketches of Preacher characters from a range of artists. More than a year later, Ryan finally presented his father with the finished album, complete with art from the likes of Dillon, Fabry, Jim Mahfood, Rufus Dayglo, Ryan Kelly, Leigh Gallagher and Duncan Fegredo.
Ryan's appreciative father thanked all of the artists who contributed, passing along this message: 'This is a heads up to all the fantastic faces who invested their time, effort and skill in Ryan's quest. My sincere and deepest thank you, it would be true to say that I learned to read from comics but your visuals opened my eyes and imagination.'
For his part, Ryan merely reminds his father he has a herculean task ahead of him: My birthday is in August, no pressure Dad '' See some of the sketches below, and visit the Preacher Project to see many more.
