Richard ii

Hi,
I am a "Richard II"-fanatic from Germany. Some years ago I read a novel by Rebecca Gable and that got me into the Plantagenet theme (uh, that's rather an embarrassing way, is it not?). I almost fell in love with Richard II when I saw the Shakespeare play in 2005 in Germany, although it wasn't very good. Somehow I forgot all about it.

But some months ago I googled the internet and I came across a picture of Ian McKellen as Richard and PENG! I was commpletely out of my mind :-) Now I finished writing a parody about the play and hope to get it published one day.


Oh, that blue eyes... the blue flower of romanticism


I coloured the original picture, because....... I am obsessed


Some playing around with morphing


Guh............


That's the face!
This is how I always imagined Richard in the play without even knowing the 60s McKellen

I have to say I really like him as an older actor, much as I liked Laurence Olivier when he started to age, but not as a youth.
