Der Ring des Nibelungen

Used plain 8.5" by 11" white paper. Pencil, black pen, soft  white eraser, black and grey charcoal. Text written in Illustrator, using Font Algerian 36 point... The image is that of Brünnhilde, and Wotan... Wotan being shaded in the background with his spear, as Brünnhilde, the Valkyrie, in the light is up front:

`~,,~`

Woe unto you, Brave Wotan,

The Father of Wars

On the day of reckoning,

The all-powerful ring is now cursed

The War against Wälsung

From Fricka thyne wife

Your beloved children

Siegmund and Brünnhilde will die,

As Valhalla burns

Until the rings powers returned,

returned from whence forged

And buried in The Rhine,

Once again guarded, by the Rhine maidens
