Painted faces on parade...

Okay, that was a bit "musical theatre geek"y, but I'm now unveiling a new sketch - the Las Vegas cast of The Phantom of the Opera Spectacular. Check it out here. This particular piece features 45 people - one of my most populated illustrations. Kristi Holden, Christine in this production and old friend, commissioned it along with sketches of her conductors and stage management staff. It was a huge project, but it was a lot of fun, and I'm so thankful that Kristi thought of me for this.

I'm typing this wee entry from Seattle where I'm visiting my Aunt Pam and cousins. Just flew in today from Oregon where I spent Christmas with the folks and Grandma and a lovely gathering at sis Deanna & family's new place. It was a wonderful Christmas - even including snow! Now it's off to bed so I'll be well-rested to watch 'em toss fish at Pike Place. There's a birthday gathering for cousin Cori tomorrow eve, and in the in-between time who knows what adventures I may embark upon?

Peace & love, y'all!

The Closing of the Year...

Ahhh! I'm officially calling it on my work load for 2007. The holiday gigs are done and the commissioned work is at a stopping point. I'm headed for the Northwest to see the family and take a break.

I may post a bit more this year, but it'll be from a place of leisure. Yay! Take care, all! Merry Christmas and best wishes for the upcoming new year. Peace and love!
