Wintery little backdrop (if you consider 18’x16’ish little) for the One Act Play That Goes Wrong.

(Notes: Yeah, I know I’m sizing it wrong. Yes, I sprayed the back to get the creases out.)

Still alive, still FA-FOing the occasional backdrop

Me, Doing College Theatre: “Why do we keep doing all these Weird as Shit™ shows? Wouldn’t we get more butts in seats if we did musicals?”

Me, now, doing Butts-in-Seats-Musicals: “Hokay, please direct me towards the Weird Shit. I would like one Weird Shit Play, please.”

I would like to announce that we’re doing Mr. Burns next season, which absolutely qualifies as “Weird Shit” and I am delighted and WILL armwrestle anyone who gets between me and doing the scenic design for it.

Guess what I got to do!!!!

Anxiety is chewing at my soul all day every day these days, but at least this week I’ve got a cool marble floor.

Using a snapline saves time when you’ve got a cityscape to paint, yes, but OH GOD, the feeling of the powdered chalk covered string against my fingers is spiraling me straight into HELL

(IT’S WEDNESDAY, MY DUDES)

Sometimes the stars align and I get to use my cutesy animal painting skills for actual theatre work.

Highly appropriately bringing this blog back from the dead by showing you this casket we made for Ragtime.

Hey guess what.

I’m NOT DEAD YET!!!!

Oof, I am behind in posting. Been doing a good bit of design work the last couple months and we’re almost back in full swing now.

I’ve been wanting to do a blendy 80’s font sign FOREVER and finally had my chance!
