"16 Pieces in 16 Days": Day 03: Lenya

So, the idea is to post a new piece of artwork every day until San Diego Comic Con. "16 Pieces in 16 Days." I will have prints of all the new artwork at Comic Con.

Anyway, here's the third image. This is from the Cabaret series I'm working on.

Und es werden kommen hundert gen Mittag an Land
Und werden in den Schatten treten
Und fangen einen jeglichen aus jeglicher Tür
Und legen ihn in Ketten und bringen vor mir
Und fragen: Welchen sollen wir töten?
Und an diesem Mittag wird es still sein am Hafen
Wenn man fragt, wer wohl sterben muss.
Und dann werden Sie mich sagen hören: Alle!
Und wenn dann der Kopf fällt, sag ich: Hoppla!

Und das Schiff mit acht Segeln

Und mit fünfzig Kanonen
Wird entschwinden mit mir.

And hundreds will come ashore around noon
And will step into the shadows

And will catch anyone in any door

And lay him in chains and bring him before me

And ask: Which one should we kill?

And at that midday it will be quiet at the harbor

When they ask, who has to die.

And then they'll hear me say: All of them!

And when the heads roll, I'll say: Hurray!


And the ship with eight sails

And with fifty cannons

Will disappear with me.
