This spread is the first in a completely random and scattered series of fact-collecting. Sometimes I come across a person I simply do not want to forget about, and so I’ll dedicate a little bit of time to learning about them and save it in my sketchbook. There’s a few more of these to come, but the first (and one of my favourites) is Theda Bara - silent film star and Hollywood’s first goth.
If you don’t know who Theda Bara is, you can click the image above to get a closer look and read a bit about her. She had an incredibly interesting life, and had a very strange existence within the Hollywood studio system that is worth learning about if you are pop culturally-inclined.
On the far right bottom corner, a sort of prayer dedicated to Ms. Bara and all she represented.
“To be good is to be forgotten. I’m going to be so bad I’ll always be remembered.”
