Boheme

12 December 2014, colored pencils and ink pens.

"Les scènes de la vie de Bohème", written by Henri Murger, tell stories of four artists: Rodolph, a bad poet; Schaunard, a pianist who plays on a broken piano (that D never sounds right!); Marcel, a painter whose main painting is rejected every year (and yet he worked on it for six years!); and Colline, a philosoph who is always going around with lots of books in his pockets. They live in Paris, they never have much money, but they are linked by friendship through all of their hardships, be they of the purse or of the heart.

Probably my favorite book. <3

Gift to Grab', who asked me if I could illustrate one of our common book references.
