The background of the artist behind the design of The Sandman
Chiampo worked for over two years for Disney and spent a long time designing the Netflix series.
Chiampo explains:
“In this series you see at least five designs made by me in each episode.”
Even when Desiderio appears, in episode 7 called “A Doll’s House” – the heart-shaped setting where Desiderio lives was created by Chiampo.
The Sandman is actually based on a comic book created by Neil Gaiman and was drawn by Sam Keith in 1989, from which Chiampo drew inspiration for the Netflix series.
