In our mind notes closely related to art - but not visual, but musical - although we have already described how you can create large-scale paintings from music … And here Alexey Lyapunov and Lena Erlich, also known as art tandem "People too", do the opposite: in leisure hours, they turn stave in succession original and funny pictures.
We have already talked in general terms about the unusual, imbued with music and the elements of inexhaustible fantasy, creativity Novosibirsk artists Alexei Lyapunov and Lena Erlich. However, their series of etudes, which can be conventionally called "cheerful notes", deserves attention in and of itself.

It would be very interesting to look at illustrations for famous musical works, drawn in the spirit of etudes. "People too".
Of course, you can look down on such pictures - they say, what's interesting here, in painting on sheet music - you need to learn the notes, not paint. But history buffs know that many medieval books, which were nothing special, are now very much appreciated because of notes and funny pictures in the margins, the so-called marginals. Maybe "funny notes" will also be studied by our descendants as a sample of the mysterious art of the third millennium?
