#9 The Sip

Marilyn: The Last Hours, a reenactment drawn by the model of Amanda Lepore

This sip will be fatal for Norma and will make Monroe a legend and a myth. Sadly this last sip of champagne flushes down the cocktail of pills she took before going to bed. She will sleep. I decided to make this picture not blurred since we don't take on the action from Monroe's perspective, but much more from the perspective of an outsider, or the press.

Marilyn: The Last Hours, a reenactment drawn by the model of Amanda Lepore

This drawing is the moment when Monroe enters her bedroom and finds a tablet with a glass of champagne and some sleeping pills on her bed. She had left them there this morning, since she knew that she could not sleep this night. She takes the pills in the desire to take a night of sleep and flee from her problems.

A sex symbol is a thing, and i hate it to be a thing. - Marilyn Monroe

Monroe #1 Fear

She has inspired generations, has overcome obstacles, had give stardom a new peak and will mesmerize the world forever. Her beautiful, artificial, tragic and controversial life was a mirror of all the beauty of Hollywood and all its ugly symptoms. Of course we are talking about Marilyn Monroe. Her death is, up until today, a mystery and has inspired musicians, singers, artists and models. She has become a true legend and an iconic figure of pop culture. Monroe has really made her way into fashion and academia and into many other ventures. I myself am very inspired by Monroe and her story, i have read many books on her and i have painted Monroe several times. 

From the first of may i will start to post an 11 picture long series entitled: Marilyn: The Last Hours, a reenactment drawn by the model of Amanda Lepore. Each day I will post a picture, and add a little information about the story I have created behind the series. On May 12th I will explain the inspiration between the project and maybe some "outtakes". So I hope you are excited for the turnout!
