As Time Goes By

As Time Goes By

8″x10″ ink and marker drawing

“We’ll always have Paris.”

    This is the last week of the month of love theme, and possibly my last piece for this theme.  The drawing is from a scene from the movie, Casablanca.  It’s a complete classic and made to perfection.  I love everything about it.  It has some great quotes and amazing music.  I named this piece after the song, As Time Goes By, which is a song that has a big impact on the characters in the film.  It’s about the joy and pain that love can bring and the hard choices that you have to make.  And it’s got Nazis ruining everything.  I know people might have problems watching a black and white movie from the 40’s, but to me it’s a must see.

“Kiss me.  Kiss me as if it were the last time.”

Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Bram Stoker's Dracula

I have crossed… oceans of time to find you…

  Here is a portrait of Vlad Dracula and Mina from 1992’s, Bram Stoker’s Dracula.  This movie, I find, is a bit polarizing to to many horror movie fans.  I think the fact that the movie is more romance than horror is probably the big hurdle.  Well, that and Keanu Reeves’ performance.  Bad acting aside I do enjoy this film.  I think it’s visually stunning.  And, I do enjoy the romance between Mina and Dracula.  As a monster movie fan I can’t say this is my favorite version of Dracula.  I will always pick the original Bela Lugossi film as my favorite Dracula flick.  But, the 1992 version is still an enjoyable addition to the Dracula film catalog.

Mina: I want to be what you are, see what you see, love what you love.

Dracula: Mina, to walk with me you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to mine.

Mina: You are my love… and my life, always.

Dracula: Then, I give you life eternal. Everlasting love. The power of the storm. And the beasts of the earth. Walk with me to be my loving wife, forever.
