So, since I was notified that a huge Sopranos aggregator Instagram account (250k followers) scraped these scans from my accounts earlier, reposted them and failed to credit the archival website while trying to actively hide my watermarks, I feel it's necessary to ask again for people not to do that.

Money, time and skill aside, I mostly don't like when people do this because it removes the context of the scans and doesn't give people a chance to learn more about the interview itself or LB (which is my whole goal).

You can read the full interview and see all the scans from that magazine here: thebracchronicles.com/#ew (site down for maintenance right now but will be back up soon)

art piece of lorraine bracco (from the 1999 emmys, one of my favourite award show looks) and jennifer melfi (from big girls don't cry (2x5), one of my favourite looks of hers and one of my all-time favourite episodes) that I commissioned from @aphrostiel a while ago.

the concept for me was incredibly important and meaningful because even though i've engaged with all of her works, dr. melfi is by far her best role, both in writing and her own performance. always has been— the juxtaposition between her personality and melfi's is palpable, you have to be incredibly skilled to pull that off, sorry.

i just know lb would poke the ever loving shit out of melfi for a laugh

anyways, i adore them both, forever and always~
