Description This is what happens when I listen to Bela BartΓ³k's opera about Bluebeard for several days on repeat. It truly is some beautiful, but haunting stuff.

Art Details:
Colored pencils, prisma markers, acrylic paint, and ink on brown sketchbook paper.

~Holly The Terrible

P.S. Hope that everybody had a great holiday! Also, a Happy New Year to everyone!

*I don't own Bluebeard, Charles Perrault does.

I have a friend... who periodically dyes his beard blue. Huh. Time to check all the closets.

Good luck to you if you find any skeletons in them.

I suspect nobody owns it, seeing as Perrault only cleaned up folk stories for the consumption of the bourgeoise. So you might as well adopt it

Yep, you're right. I should probably be less paranoid that internet police will come and take away all my precious bandwidth.Β  Β Β

I like the style in this one. What is the paper called that you drew this on?

Thank you! I used Earthbound recycled acid-free sketchbook paper.

Thank you. I have seen that kind of paper before, but it didn't look as if it could be used for coloring with markers or other tools. You proved me wrong.

Unfortunately, I haven't! We only spoke briefly about Bluebeard and Bartok in my Music History class this semester, but I'll definitely have to look up The Wooden Prince. I <3 operaaaa.
