Hi all! I realized that in all the hubbub, I forgot to post my Monday sketch yesterday. Here are some of my illustrated impressions of the Tony ceremonies. The lower part shows the immense opening number and host Neil Patrick Harris, and the upper section features some of my favorite speech moments. I doodled during the broadcast, but really started the actual sketch at 11pm on Sunday. By around 4:30am I had posted this sketch. Then I slept until almost noon.
And I'm super excited and grateful and honored to have received some wonderful accolades and "shout-outs" lately. I've posted them all in past entries, but just to recap (hee hee): New friend Ryan O'Connor showed some art and posted my web URL on his Broadway Space video blog (here). Jim Caruso, long time advocate of my work, gave me a great mention in his latest newsletter (here). And an advocate from even further back, Peter Filichia at Theatremania.com, gave me the most amazing mention in his Broadway season recap (here). AND I just hit 500 "fans" on my Squigs Knows His Lines page on Facebook. If that page were a theatre in NYC's Theatre District, it would qualify as a Broadway theatre. Ha! I'm really stoked that the work is getting out there and that the efforts are showing some return. I'm grateful, and I really look forward to the work ahead.
Right now, I'm (happily) a flurry of activity. On the drawing board: finishing up possibilities for the next few weekly sketches, a show caricature commission, my monthly contribution to Footlights Curtain Call, and talks with a couple clients for some fun projects. Onstage: a reading of the fun new Neurosis the Musical (at the Harvard-Westlake School's Rugby Auditorium Thursday through Saturday evenings) and packing to head to Wichita on Sunday. Can't wait to play with my peeps in Camelot!
Well that's it for now. Best wishes to you all! Peace and love.
