*Phew*
Even though I started on this months ago, I almost didn't finish it on time ;)

At any rate, Happy Mardi Gras 2007! :party:
I try to go a different direction with this piece every year and this year, I wanted something kindof nostalgic, like it might have come out of a 1950's children's book (well, as much as a Mardis Gras piece can feel like that ;) ). Lots of inspiration from different costumes I've seen over the years and of all places, the Nutcracker Ballet.

Medium: Photoshop and Painter with lampost drawn in pencil.

For those wondering just what Mardi Gras is, [link] appears to be a good clean site to get an overview, but I have not reviewed the site in its absolute entirety and take no responsibility for any content that may offend. You are more than welcome to run your own search for info as well ;)

She reminds me of a portrait in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland (and all the other Haunted MAnsions, I'm pretty sure).

Madonna is an old, anorexic whore who wore out her welcome years ago and now suddenly speaks with a Brittish accent and she thinks she can play guitar and she should go fuck herself.
