“And all of this is captured by the greedy eyed photographer who stalks me like a vulture!” -Nick Carraway, The Met

(Non Text Version and ramblings under the cut)

Back to our regularly scheduled Gatsby Posting as of late. This time the song of inspiration is The Met from The Great Gatsby Musical! I would be a lying fool if I said the symbolism in this song has not had an iron grip on my writer brain from the very start. I adore the blatant spotlight it places on Nick and his constant being overshadowed and almost hunted by those around him throughout the story. Seriously, whoever wrote these lyrics, you are great. Also Noah J Ricketts an absolutely amazing Nick I just have to say that. I will absolutely be continuing to loop this soundtrack and am actively trying to plan a trip to NY to see the show live because if I don’t my sorry English nerd self will perish. Until my next post!

“They say he’s third cousin to the Kaiser and second cousin to the Devil!” -Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby

This was meant to be a single doodle. As you can tell, it did not end that way. So uh. Demon Gatsby or smth like that. Honestly I just thought of the quote and went “haha imagine” then remembered I’m an artists and can do that. I blame that dang Art Deco design for it taking as long as it did to complete cause wow did that take forever for me to like how it looks

Tada!!
