Description

***PLEASE DO NOT REPOST MY IMAGES.***
I'm flattered, and link back to me if you want, but never take them and repost them anywhere. I can't control where my art is going on the internet if people are copy and pasting my stuff where ever they feel like.





So guess what I watched over the holidays.

Here's a doodle that's I guess the waltz from the final sequence. I love Sweeney Todd, I love macabre subject matter like this, but dammit, everything I draw looks CUTE. So perhaps stuff like this is best left to other folks. *sob*

And guess what, no, it's not bloody Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter. I loved the movie, guys, but seriously if you have any interest in the story beyond "ZOMG JOHNNY DEPP IS TEH SEX" then you need to do your research. You sir, too sir! Go and see the musical!

There is a great 1982 recording of the national tour on DVD, and it has Angela Lansbury as Mrs Lovett! How awesome is that! There is also a very elegant 2001(2?) in-concert version that Sondheim liked so much, he specifically requested that they film it. How awesome. George Hearne is Sweeny in both versions and he rocks my socks. Take a peek at these and then you get to hear Sweeney sung in baritone, and you get to see the songs that got cut from/edited down in the movie.

(warning about the 1982 version though, Johanna looks and souds absolutely hideous....)


Also, apparently the newest revival tour is in the states right now. (They only did one city in Canada, boohoo!)




ANYWAYS. Expect a few more pages of doodles here in a bit, because I've been procrastinating like mad with this stuff lately.

This is great, and I liked your statement about "...but seriously if you have any interest in the story beyond "ZOMG JOHNNY DEPP IS TEH SEX" then you need to do your research. You sir, too sir! Go and see the musical!" Haha this is true, and very nice artwork. <3
