Artist's Comments

"Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
Und die trägt er im Gesicht
Und Macheath, der hat ein Messer
Doch das Messer sieht man nicht..."

The third item of the Mutually Friendly Opera Project [MFOP], a parallel assignment game with Mr *Divadlo: Mack the Knife (aka Mackie Messer or Macheath) from The Threepenny Opera by Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill.

The dashing gangster, the brilliant evildoer: seducer of all women, murderer of many men, having no sense of moral whatsoever.

English transcription of the German song [Die Moritat von Mackie Messer]:

"Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear,
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack-knife has Macheath dear
And he keeps it out of sight..."

model: Tamás.
make-up: Grenadine. [link]

One of my all time favourite songs.
You caught the character very well indeed!
Well done.

You should
It looks like a painted portrait, which is actually quite a cool effect capture with a lens.
