Thank you for your time!

International Pin-up Model, Actress, Writer/Director, Sazzy Lee Varga teams up with renowned artist Vlad Quigley to create a Pop Art Nouveau (Pop Art meets Art Nouveau) adaptation of Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Quigley and Varga give this 1872 classic a 21st. Century twist.

The first thing you will notice in experiencing this artwork is that it doesn't look anything like, any other vampire story - it's unusual and not at all typical. Quigley and Varga bring new psychological depth and gentle sensuality to the classic Victorian lesbian romance of Carmilla - with a unique interpretation that blends visual elements of gothic, baroque and psychedelic space opera with subtlety, poetry and elegance. Carmilla was pivotal in the 19th Century horror genre, creating the lesbian sex vampire and, by extension, the Vamp. Wildly plagiarized in more films than Dracula, Quigley and Varga have gone back to the original phantasmagorical text, capturing the dream-like haunting erotica and bringing new life to one of the greatest tragic love stories in literature. In total, some 20+ images will complete this work making it a comprehensive and dramatic production.

The next remarkable element of this project is that Quigley and Varga live on different continents. This would certainly have been a problem for Artist and Muse in the past but with the advancements in this electronic era they are never far apart. Digital images taken with specific expressions in mind are captured by Varga in California and then emailed of to London where Quigley downloads and prints them out for reference. As Varga is a very accomplished model and has a library of 1000 and 1000 of images CD's of images have also been sent to London for Quigley to reference. These component and more - make this an incredibly memorable, visually stimulating and ground breaking experience. Offers are currently being entertained from publishers who are interested in producing a coffee table book of this work which is destine to have phenomenal profundity making a enormous impact on the art world.

This is a must see for all Goth, Vampire and Art fans alike!

Below find briefs on artist and model as well as two inked images for the project.

Artist Vlad Quigley: A London based artist, Quigley's genius has had him drawing horror comics, Scream Queens, art for rock acts and historical adoptions of literature. The Damned, Dr. & The Medics, and Captain Sensible have all feature original Quigley works in the covers. Quigley teamed up with Page 3 Model Vida Garman for a 5-year artist/model partnership to create Vida's character Viola D'Amour. The excitement from this body of work was recognized with a bronze bust of Vidašs character at the Festival Des Bandes Desinees in France. Quigley's unique style and emotion innovating work has also placed him in the "Who's Who in Art"

Star of Carmilla : Sazzy Lee Varga, is an enigma. She has appeared on scores of magazine covers across the globe, making her one of the most recognizable faces in the world. She has numerous film and television credits and is the author of Sazzy Lee Varga's "Sazzy's Cookin", a cooking book published by TS Books. Contributing to the art world she creates large Pop Art pieces using her glamour images in a way that would make Warhal proud. She web masters not only her site but also thetibetianphotoproject.com of which she is a co-founder. Varga has filmed alongside fellow Super model Rachael Hunter, Academy Award winner Faye Dunaway and "The Spy Who Shagged Me" star Robert Wagner. And if that isn't enough she is also an acclaimed producer, and member of the Directors Guild of America having been the driving force behind the production and direction of over 15 feature films from Miramax and Artisan Entertainment.
