Casanova / Desolation Row I






















Casanova is one of the characters mentioned in "desolation row" the song and I illustrated it. This is the first frame;

Across the street they’ve nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
They're spoon-feeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get Out of Here If You Don't Know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row"

Here is me in the picture wearing Casanova costume and mask, all made by great artist Hamid Sadiqi from Ca' del Sol.
Casanova is the most wore costume in Carneval di Venezia (Carnival of Venice) and for many years it was the only costume, wearing during carnival for both men and women. Now, only men wear this.


Everybody knows Casanova for his art of seduction but if you are interested to read more, know that Casanova who Bob talks about is him.
You could hear the song here if you did not yet.

Next Meal / Like A Rolling Stone lV






















"Now you don't seem so [so] proud
About having to be scrounging [around]
for your next meal..."


This LRS collection is just a try, telling a story meantime using famous phrases of a great song I love.
I'm not making them only by "meaning". Really I don't care that much to meaning.
Honestly I want to make some pictures inspired by original shapes of feelings, but picture and composition are the most important for me.

Meaning probably will come after and if it won't, no big deal.

You Used To Laugh / Like A Rolling Stone lll





















 


"You used to
laugh about...

Everybody that was
hangin' out..."
