picked-blog-2

This was a recent project that I completed for Barnyard Theatre Company.  It was my third year working with them on their summer poster, and I’m really excited about this particular show!

“Picked” is an original play created in the style of a Grimm fairy tale, with some modern language elements and a delicious storybook flavor to it.  To sum it up in an incredibly vague manner: girl meets wolf, story unfolds (but it’s actually so much more interesting than just that).  This was a very easy project to get excited about; it’s a great play on the page, and I can’t wait to see it in production.

For a look at the process, here are some of my initial concept sketches:

    Thanks, Robert! Wow, I wasn’t aware that the posters extended beyond the Davis area – where did you see it?
