I'm happy to say that the exhibit made the cross-country trip successfully and the frames have been hung on the wall at MetroStage. It's a modest little display, but it's my first and I'm really proud of it. At this very moment I'm taking a wee procrastination break from assembling my greeting card sets. I think they might sell well, but it's taking a bit of time to put all the pieces together. I'll post a photo or two when they're done.
I look forward to heading to D.C. on Saturday and attending the opening at MetroStage on Sunday. The following few days will be filled with taking in museums and monuments and meeting up with a few friends that are in the area. Can't wait! It's an adventure.
In the mean time, I'm plugging away on various illustration projects including my Monday sketches this week. Above is my tribute to star of stage and screen, Ruby Keeler. Additionally, here's the beginning of my "Unlikely Casting" online gallery. Al Hirschfeld created this concept in the 1960s as a feature in Playbill. Stars of the day were drawn in roles they were rather wrong for, to humorous effect. I'm taking up the project with stars of yesteryear and today. The irony in each piece might be a little "inside" unless you're a theatre geek like me, but I think it will be a fun project. The first is late great Broadway darling Helen Hayes as Diana Goodman, the wife/mother struggling with mental illness in Next to Normal, currently playing on Broadway starring Alice Ripley.
Well, I should get back to making some cards. If I get done in a reasonable time frame, I think I may go see a movie tonight. But then I still have to format my Stop the World... script. Maybe I'll take the computer to a coffee shop instead. We'll see. Anyway... take care, all! Peace and love.
