For the longest time I’ve allocated my tumblr for just fanart but I want to sync it up with my other social media so I’m going to start sharing my school/personal work here too!
Here’s a poster I designed for the musical, Hadestown by Anais Mitchell

All of his sorrow won’t fit in his chest. It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest. And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest. How long, how long, how long?
Why do we build the wall, My children, my children? Why do we build the wall?
Why do we build the wall? We build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
How does the wall keep us free, My children, my children? How does the wall keep us free?
How does the wall keep us free? The wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
Who do we call the enemy, My children, my children? Who do we call the enemy?
Who do we call the enemy? The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
Because we have and they have not, My children, my children Because they want what we have got
Because we have and they have not Because they want what we have got The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
What do we have that they should want, My children, my children? What do we have that they should want?
What do we have that they should want? We have a wall to work upon We have work and they have none
And our work is never done! My children, my children! And the war is never won!
The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free We build the wall to keep us free…
“Why We Build the Wall” from Hadestown by Anais Mitchell!
this concept album was fucking prescient and everyone needs to listen to it
Since people seemed to enjoy my Tam Lin drawing, here is another ballad character. I guess she isn’t named in the narrative. But here is Geordie’s wife challenging the judge for her husbands life.
“But six pretty babes I had by him The seventh one lies in my body And I would bear them all over again If you give me the life of my Geordie” “Your Geordie will hang in a silver chain Such as we don’t hang many And he’ll be laid in a coffin brave For your six fine sons to carry” “I wish I had you in a public square The whole town gathered around me With my broad sword and a pistol too I’d fight you for the life of my Geordie”
Have a few other folk songs I want to illustrate so stay tuned!
