Nine posters for “Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street”.

"I think I miss you less and less as every day goes by, Johanna..."

I love him, your honor. I love getting to draw Sweeney whether it's Len or Depp, but Len is starting to hold a very special place in my heart. He's just a silly, goofy, sad guy. What can I say?

Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street dir. by Tim Burton (2007)

AAH! I had more fun than I can describe making these! I ADORE Sweeny Todd and to make Mrs. Lovett too was a treat! Multiple layers of lace and velvet went into Mrs. Lovett's collar to match her stunning outfit and Swarovski red crystals were used to leave a "ruby" layer across Sweeny's. Both are still for sale at Canpi Creations!

#he’s got that sadness in his eyes that you only ever see in catholic stained glass windows

My emotional attachment to fictional men that kill people is insane.

THEY SLAY (saw Sweeney Todd on broadway a few weeks ago <3)

me when people say Sweeney Todd and Henry Creel are just “cold-blooded villains” who do bad things only for pleasure and when people totally ignore the depth and the complexity of their characters as well as the trauma and the abuse both characters went through that turned them into these “monsters”

in this essay I will

The moment I saw the album cover/this entire photoshoot it reminded me so much of late 80′s/early-to-mid 90′s horror paperbacks that I HAD to do something about it

I drew these for the two actors who played Sweeney and Lovett at the production of Sweeney Todd I went to go see a few days ago. They were so so amazing and super fucking talented. I couldn't believe it when I was sitting in that audience. It was truly the best day of my entire life. I'm not even exaggerating. Watching my favorite show live and in person for the first time ever was incredibly life changing and I'm happy it was this cast.

I was able to give it to them via the stage manager, so I unfortunately didn't get to see their reactions first. However, a little bit later I had the stage manager find me and say that she had a few people who want to meet me. I got to meet the actors who played Sweeney and Lovett, and even Toby and the Beadle. I got to hug them and shower them in compliments etc. It was honestly a once in a lifetime experience. It was amazing.

I think some people forget the true meaning of the song My Friends in Sweeney Todd sometimes.

I see a very common mistake when I see different productions of Sweeney Todd, and that's in My Friends. My Friends is a very special song for Sweeney's character and to just not... add something to it is truly a waste in my opinion. It's not giving that inner look at the character that is needed. My Friends, ultimately, is a love song. It's a love song and a lullaby to his razors.

After just learning about his wife's undoing because of the Judge, his razors are what is going to help him complete his revenge. Dare I say he sees Lucy and Johanna in them, the man he once was, and the life he once had in these razors. The razors are a reflection of his past resurrected to avenge his wife. So, I think when performing this song, the actor should be showing that love. You can hear it in the music; it's very trance like, thus putting Sweeney in this trance. All of his focus is on these razors, singing about how he's been gone all these years and what his plan of action is with his "friends". This is when he's letting go of everything he had hoped to come home to, and succumbing to his revenge. Lucy is gone, Johanna just out of reach, but the Judge and Beadle? He'll have them, and he will kill them.

I see a lot of actors just stand there and sing. I don't see a lot of emotion poured into the song. I'm not expecting these big gigantic movements or anything, but I think pure happiness and love needs to be shown when they sing to those razor blades. Hold the razor, feel how well it fits (if you will), see your reflection in them, hold it to the skies (hehe again), feel the love he once had as a barber, feel the love he had for Lucy, feel that revenge boil in your skin, mourn Lucy, mourn Johanna, and better yet... mourn Benjamin Barker. There's so much potential to show these feelings in the song, and I just find it disappointing when our dear actor just stands there looking down at the razor, doing nothing.

The Sweeney Todd brainrot is real
