Queen of the Night

My contribution for the New York City Opera's fundraising event Divas Shop.

An illustrated version of The Queen of the Night from Mozart's opera The Magic Flute. I grew up listening to a version in english and loved the queen's aria, a very dark and powerful character, she seemed like the perfect candidate for an illustrated diva.

The piece was auctioned off at the event in the company of pieces by such illustrator and designer talent as Bil Donovan, Nicole Miller, Peter Som, Christian Siriano, ect.. At the opera in very good company!
