Death Becomes Her

"En Garde, BITCH!" Here's the Death Becomes Her painting I just finished for the B-Movie tribute show at LTD Gallery in Seattle. I was very excited to be invited, so I wanted to choose something really special. Death Becomes Her is one of my all-time favorite movies, and though it arguably boasts an A-list pedigree, its themes and plot are B-Movie gold. The campy horror and endless cat-fighting is completely over the top, which is exactly why I love it so much.

I chose to illustrate the most memorable scene of the film in which both (newly dead) women do their best to destroy each other, to little effect.
