digital pencil & ink drawing of boris karloff on the set of 1931's 'frankenstein', all kitted out as the creature. in his right hand, he holds a patterned cup which, presumably, contains a liquid of the sort that helped him cope with endless hours in the makeup chair. in his left, a half-devoured slice of toast bears bite marks. he gazes directly at the camera. colours are light acid green, deep acid green, rose, black, cream & light blue.

#art #history: the magnificent boris karloff (born #otd in 1887) embodied mary shelley's creature as no one else has or ever will. why? because he had a great fondness for the character & it's obvious that he understood the emotional fragility & alienation that lay at the core of shelley's baby. that vulnerability is in his eyes. do you see it?
