Well, Squigs' art is Off-Broadway. I created the logo art and caricatures that are used on programs, on Broadway.Com, and the marquee at St. Luke's Theatre on 46th Street between 8th & 9th (Restaurant Row) in NYC's theatre district. Pretty exciting... my first NY marquee!
The show is Fabulous Divas of Broadway Starring Alan Palmer. In the show, one man (Alan) portrays a couple dozen Broadway leading ladies from the Golden Age through modern times. I'm hoping my doodles (coupled with a great location) put some butts in the seats.
Alan asked me to work on the project last year and I had to decline at the time because I was swamped. After another artist dropped the ball – and weeks before he headed to NYC – Alan asked if I could jump back in. I created the title lettering and caricatures of five ladies – Ethel Merman, Carol Channing, Betty Buckley, Patti LuPone, and Liza Minnelli. For some reason Liza didn't make the marquee, but she's on the program. Anyway... It's mighty fun and I'm really happy that my work can be seen just down the street from Broadway.
