Artist's Comments

Ah, Snape. Snape, Snape - how I'll miss you ...

This was actually the art I had up here before I took everything down in a fit of pique / OMG-the-'rents-can't-find-out. Drawn/painted/smeared with charcoal in spring 2005.

The story? The background: Harry Potter picture. Snape has sneaked into the Restricted Section to do some research for his final 7th year project.

I drew / painted this picture before I had read "Half Blood Prince", and thus when Snape's reputation as a workaholic student was inference rather than outright fact.

Cut me a bit of slack - I was so, so bored at my stop-gap job in early 2005, and the doodle rapidly turned into something that required watercolor and a nice layer of charcoal. Hope you like!

Thank you! One part of the lighting I like is the way that the glow from the book is different than the glimmering lamp. oooh ... spooky ... (at least, I hope so.)

such a great dark image. it's hard to get that kind of lighting I think with so much detail. snape's face is such a contrast, it really pops!

Dad: When traveling North, you tend to lose a lot of spoons.
Me: What?! Why is that?
Dad: I donno. Maybe because when traveling South, you tend to find a lot of spoons.
