Artist's Comments

When induced by a certain amount of Chateau Margaux 1855 Mr. Bartholomew turns into a surprisingly accomplished cello player...

There is a story behind this, involving me and a flute... and wine (any kind, preferably dry)...

Ink and watercolour

Hmm, your story intrigues me...

:) Great! I love how the bend in his nose looks somehow aristocratic...and his chops. You gotta have hair chops ;P

Excellent work.
He reminds me a little of Ratigan from Basil the Great Mouse Detective, but more stylish ;)
Very nicely done.

He reminds me of a rat I once saw in the tales of Beatrix Potter. He does seem very handsome though, but his face has something arrogant on it.
You did a great job on this one! ^^

I have to admit that Mr. Bartholomew is a gorgerous gentleman.

Wait a minute! Didn't I set you on fire and bury you in the backyard?

Sir Bartholomew, as most heroes, has both a superhuman ability combined with a superhuman weakness. Of course, his superhuman weakness is Chateau Margaux, only through the inspiration of Dionysus can he play Bach's Sarabande and reduce his audience to tears.

Trouble came before the great concert, when he got cheated by his enemy, the evil Lord Arcadius. Wine in his Chateau Margaux bottle had been swapped for a repulsive Beaujolais Nouveau, and Sir Bartholomew was too nervous to notice the difference (he was really nervous).

Upon the stage, under the spell of a cheap satyr, he played the most horrible cello piece in music history. It was so bad all the monocles exploded and most ladies fainted. In fact, it was so horrible even Disney Channel executives came to him and offered him a multimillionaire contract if he would play for them as their new star for teenager pop music. Yes, it was THAT bad.

Bartholomew now remains in his house playing and practicing everyday. After his public humiliation, he can only drink wine and try to compose the most nostalgic cello piece in history. Then, under the full moon, he will play it under Lord Arcadius window, and it will be of such sadness and such beauty, Lord Arcadius will fall into a spiral of aesthetical overdose, the Stendhal syndrome will be so strong on him he will go into a long state of catatonia, where he will only dream of the cello piece again.


And this is the tragic story of humilliation and revenge.
