Description

This was pretty much one huge expiriment......I'm really not sure if I like how it came out or not. I didnt even know what I was doing towards the end.

Contest submission for :iconus-xuk-fans:'s song contest.
The song! Grand Illusion by Styx

So I kinda doomed myself by choosing to draw the 20's when I dont know ANY jazz music at all.....cause all I can think of is jazz music. But the lyrics is the main reason why I chose the song. I feel that it fits with what I TRIED to show, which is America with this rioutous lifestyle just after WWI with all his stocks, and credit cards, and money, and illegal bars, and those flappers and mafia. While in Europe, it was pretty miserable, since everyone was suffering from debt after the war. England isnt very happy with America right now. He's a bit wet (cant really tell....) and he has an umbrella since its been raining a lot in england....more than usual if you understand.
Forgot to mention that I also chose "grand illusion", cause I feel that explains what the 20's were, as america raged out of contol, eventually leading to the Stock Market Crash.

TOO MUCH DESCRIPTION!!

_____Just Song Lyrics here______________
Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star.

But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

THERE ELISABETTA! HAPPY NOW?!

I just realized that America is disobeying his own prohibition amendment! Is that even allowed?!
