This was posted by a Mr. Dean Pritchard in Tom Riddler's facebook group "Ribbons -The Sister Of Mercy Art Gallery":

"Just wondered if anyone would like to see these? I worked for the Sisters in the late 90's and drew the first one at the end of a tour for the crew and the band (Von, Mike Varjak, Adam Pearson and Si Denbigh when he was the Nurse. The others are for a cartoon strip that I was asked to draw for Underneath the Rock in about '95."













mr pritchard also drew this :

that's the strip/page from UTR14 i believe.

i like the first (colur) pic best. i reckon that should have been the inner liner sleeve for the new album due that glorious summer .

the atist Dean is also basically the guy who filmed all of the concerts of that era for the purpose of making the (in)famous "live DVD".

Yep, that first colour pic is particularly awesome!

Love Mike in the first one!
Is that Pete and Dave on the right?

@czuczu
Yeah, the first one is the best for me, too ... ...
on the right side in the back ... that could be the guru ... ...

Back row from left: Don McKevitt (production manager), Robbo (tour manager), Nigel 'the guru' (lights).
Front row from left: Jurgen Jansen (of Project Pitchfork, sound), Si Denbigh, Adam Pearson, Von, Mike Varjak and Dean Pritchard.

i think thats one of the nicest "icons" of the band as an operating unit in the post-product era. its very personal isnt it? Dean tol d me straight off that amongst his jobs for the band were things he couldn't and/or wouldn;'t discuss but i reckon he'll be pretty open on evrything else.

Love it!!
