Hello, I'm the Butcherlady (or Camila Torrano).Hello everyone :D
I’ve been working a lot, mostly on things that cannot publish here ¬_¬…
Aaand, in the meantime, I’ve visited an old hospital! Actually, it’s the third and coolest one I’ve sneaked in and took photos.
This is Hospital e Maternidade São Marcos (Brazil). It started working during the 50’s and was closed in 1995. Now it’s called Condominio Cultural, where the rooms are used as working places for various artists. One of those artists, Cesar, a good friend of mine, invited for a visit at a Saturday night - just the perfect time for some ghost hunting!
Surgery room: many of the rooms are now ateliés, but this one remains almost intact. I’ve been informed it’ll soon be transformed into a sound studio :(. I’m glad I made that visit…but I need to go back there one last time, I absolutely loved it.
There was this creepy mannequin right at the entrance, almost in the dark. I was scared it was going to scream and have its head torn off by some invisible evil force (Silent Hill 3 feelings).
Medical stuff: an guest artist made sort of a intervention in one of the rooms. She filled it with abandoned objects and medical supplies found there. Lots and lots of glucose and some thiopental.
Also, there’s a register of all the patients treated there during 1956. They were mainly working class women going to give birth. You can see a medical degree from the 40’s and a decapitaded saint.
At the end, my self portrait inside the surgery room where someone left a mirror.
A night to be always remembered :)
Thank you, Cesar!
![Hello there, it’s been a while :)!
Here’s Meg, the Wise-Looking Princess, one of the twisted little girls from the game Rule of Rose.
From Wikipedia:
[…]
Below her in rank is the intelligent Meg, who recites the rules and protocols of the Aristocracy, as well as invents the devices used to punish members of the hierarchy. She adores Diana despite her cruelty towards her.
I was looking for inspiration to warm-up doodles when this game and its characters came to my mind. It has a great 1930’s atmosphere and Art Direction, complicated storyline and, unfortunately, one of the most terrible controls I’ve ever tried.
Every single girl from the Red Crayon Aristocrats is annoying. I promised to destroy all of them during the gameplay…until that incident with the Stray Dog. I felt terrible for them and about my feelings towards those kids. They’re really mean.
Hopefully I’ll have the energy & time to draw all of them, let’s see if it’s possible during my vacations.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8eizvU5Pa1qkjnh0o1_500.jpg)
