Description

The Weird and the Terrifying. - Name: Pesta Location: Norway Pesta is the personification of the "black death", or the plague, which killed an estimated 25 million people. There were many figures that portrayed the plague, but Pesta was the most common. She was said to have the skin the color of ash, and traveled the country with a rake and a broom. If she arrived to the village with a rake, some would escape with their lives; but if she were to arrive with a broom, every single person would be dead. It is said that on her way through the country, she took a boat to the municipality of Gjerrestad. The man rowing the boat for her later noticed who he was taking and pleaded for his life. Pesta then produced a large book, opened it, and replied "I cannot spare your life, but you shall have an easy death". As soon as the man returned to his home, he started feeling drowsy. Moments after laying down in bed, he was dead. Pesta has done as promised. - All pieces in "The Weird and the Terrifying" collection are highly textured 3000x3000 png files created using only four colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black), with tonal variations and other colors coming from halftones and color overlay in order to maintain the stipulated color limtiations.
