Artist's Comments

‘Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd.
His skin was pale and his eye was odd.
He shaved the faces of gentlemen,
Who never thereafter were heard of again.
He trod a path that few have trod,
Did Sweeney Todd.
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.’

Darn it! I really, really, REALLY want to see Sweeney Todd! But it doesn’t come out over here in the jolly old UK until just over a week. Gah! And what’s most annoying is that it’s a classic horror tale born of London. Most Brits are familiar with the name Sweeney Todd… he’s a figure that is a part of our gruesome history… so come on Hollywood! We want Sweeney! We want Sweeney! Don’t make me get da hose! Lol! :D

Heh, well one thing I’m glad to see is that the wonderful Tim Burton stayed true to the original musical. I love that musical… with Bed Knobs and Broomsticks lady. :) Johnny seems to come across as a more growly Sweeney compared with Hearn’s angry Sweeney, but I like ‘em both and Helena Bonham Carter makes a sweet pie-lady, Mrs. Lovett. :p

*Sigh* Oh well, nothing much for me to do while I wait… except turn people I know into pies… so anyone for Vyse pie? Simon or Farrell pie? How about a bit of Bryan or Jones pie? *Looks about* ...and you’re next Kat!!! *evil laugh*

Great picture, did you draw that with your graphics tablet?
Anyways, I want to see that movie to, I'm a bit of a admirer of Tim Burton. His Art direction is practically his signature.

PS:
I got a blank sketchbook and I've been filling it with sketches and ideas, thanks for the advice.
