Working with theaters I’ve done my share of literary mash-up posters. But this one was likely the best. I love the idea of a Xmas cookie making a run for it!

Created for a different production of THE TOYMAKER’S APPRENTICE.

This was the first of many books I worked on with author Lisa Tawn Bergren

At this point I’ve simply decided to embrace my fascination with glowing-thing-on-snowy-evenings preference.

Created for a children’s theater holiday production of THE TOYMAKERS APPRENTICE.

I’d kill for studio windows this big and grand.

Created for a children’s theater holiday production. I can still recall being taught the *alternate* words to Jingle Bells in 2nd grade by my buddy Paul. Decades later -- still funny.
