Does Hannibal Lecter use bone black paint in his artwork?
Like, he’s got all those bodies to get rid of. He’s likely got his own furnace in his big old mansion.
So does he make his own “art supplies”? He seems like the crunchy sort to do such a thing.
He kills a LOT of people, and other than the ones he puts on public peacocking display to catch the elusive attention of Will Graham, he’s got a ton of bodies to get rid of.
I imagine him using the extra flesh and viscera as fertilizer for his organic garden, and then he’s got whole skeletons to deal with. So like, he probably pins some together and sells them secondhand to medical schools or something, and then other ones he probably burns them up into bone fertilizer. But he’s just got SO MANY bodies to deal with.
In the various media, do they ever examine his paintings and test them for people residue? Are they able to do carbon tracing to differentiate between sources of carbon?
When you think about it, Hannibal was only caught because of his ego and hubris. On some level, he simply wanted to be known. He wanted to hear people talking about his alter-ego, but then it kind of hurt his feelings that people were like “Ew gross” about his “art”.
It’s probably the same for that one artist who used feces as his medium of choice. Everyone around him was like “Stop. Yuck!” But eventually someone was like “How creative!” And he thought that was a compliment–a love letter to his skill–and he ran away with it to create a whole gallery show. That probably smelled terrible.
Anyways. I was just curious.
