Acrylic, Ink, Colour Pencil

Looking glass upon the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

You, my queen, are undoubtedly fair. . . .but not quite so beautiful as Snow White, with her jet black hair.

What's this rubbish you speak to me!? . . . .I'll shatter your face while you scream and bleed!

Attempt it not, for you won't succeed. . . . .I can't be hurt-I'm a mirror, you see.

Fine, just shut your traitorous mouth! Or say I'm beautiful, without a doubt!

Mistress, I told you bloody so! You're merely no contest for Snow White-NO!

Alright, let's murder the pretty bitch. . . .her body ever resting inside a ditch!

A bad plan, my queen-she's safe like no other. . . . . .under protection of seven good brothers.

Alright, I'll disguise myself, if you please. . . . .killed from a poison apple with ease!

Your plan will betray you. In the end, you will fail. Clumsy with jealousy-evidence trails.

But she has to be killed. Her good looks must vanish! I'm ever perturbed. . .I'll cut her throat, DAMN IT!

Violence is not this pretty girl's way. . . . . .it's her beauty that maintains a powerful sway. Let it be known, you, I tried to dissuade. . . .Snow White will mean your ruin, ending your days!
