Frankenstein
See What I Hear. Frankenstein. October 2021. “Frankenstein” is part of a larger portfolio, “See What I Hear”, of illustrations based on song lyrics. “Frankenstein” is a song by the Edgar Winter Group. The creature that was originally created in Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel, is far from the monster as depicted in the 1931 Boris Karloff movie. The real monster in the Mary Shelley book was Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who created the creature using unorthodox scientific methods. The creature is a very sympathetic being whose troubled existence comes not from his nature but from his hideous appearance. People fear him because of his looks not because of his actions.
