illustration - eyes of the beholder
Illustrations for Velvet Effigy's puppet show, Eyes of the Beholder.
A retelling of Beauty and The Beast, held during the New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival in 2024.
These illustrations were projected in the prologue, where the Beast transgresses against the Queen, is banished to the forest, and morphs into a grotesque spider creature.
