I’m an old friend of Alan’s, we were in the same Illustration class at RISD…he was by far the best in the class. As far as I know, he’s still a traditional painter. He teaches part-time at Parson’s these days.
In my opinion, Alan Reingold is an amazing artist. I have nothing else to say. Maybe I’m biased because I love Marvel, but he’s done many other drawings, paintings, etc. as well. Here’s a link to other pictures as well for anyone interested: http://www.anitagrien.com/reingold/index.html
Snape’s Bad Day…”Trouble with the Elder Wand, my Lord? Let me see it for a moment, I’m sure I can fix it.” Poor Severus, he never should have gone to the boathouse/Shrieking Shack to meet Voldemort.

To be completely honest, it feels almost weird listening to Alan talk as himself. We’ve heard him speak as Severus Snape since 2001, we’ve grown accustomed to this. And in the end, we’ll grow accustomed to hearing him speak out of character, and the lines between them will blur.
Alan Rickman is Severus Snape and Severus is Alan. There will be no distinction between the two in the end.
It’s the Blood Moon, or Hunter’s Moon, sometimes known as the Harvest Moon. I’d guess that depends on what you’re searching for. ~ CB
Happy full moon everyone!
