The Music Man

I just finished the illustration for The Vermont CHildren's Theater production of The Music Man. Generally, I have a difficult time figuring out what to do with shows like this. There are no animals in the show. Luckily, the director had a very clear vision of what he wanted and that helped me get excited about the illustration.

Superman

This is another drawing in my what if I had designed series. I have been busy with reports for school so I haven't been able to do much drawing. I will be posting an update that is more refined and in color latter. Since Superman is currently celebrating his 75th birthday and Man of Steel opens today, I thought it would be appropriate to post what the first superhero would look like if I had created him.

Superman has always been a favorite hero of mine. He's just a good person. In addition to that he can fly.

Brementown Musicians at Vermont Children's Theater

I just finished the illustration for The Brementown Musicians poster. It will be playing at The Vermont Children's Theater on June 27, 28 and 29. My youngest daughter is the sheep. Nothing like the challenge of getting a donkey to play the kazoo.

Summer Sketching

Last week I took my Sketching class to the Shelburne Museum in Shleburne, VT to sketch for a day. This is the sketch I did of Ticonderoga. I loved the museum is is a wonderful place to visit and sketch. It was amazing walking through the steam ship and the other building on the  grounds.

More Sketches from Europe

Here are some  of the sketches I did of people while in Europe this last Spring.

Drawing from Venice

It has been some time since I last posted.

In April I was able to take a trip to Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, and Southern France. It was a wonderful experience. In addition to seeing some incredible art work, I made sure to take some time to draw what I saw. Here is one of the drawings I did while in Venice.

Sharing Some Success, Diego Melendez

One of our graduates at Lyndon State College, Diego Melendez, just received a Merit Award for student work in HOW Magazine's 2013 International Design Awards Annual. He's a great designer and an even greater person. It was an honor working with him in class. (It's also wonderful to be honored by being listed as one of the faculty associated with this.)
