Wonka!


Fantastic projects have been keeping me up late at night and, of course, I can't share any of it. But I did remember that I was going to post some pics of a side personal project.
Two years ago I was swept up in the enthusiasm for my kids school play and volunteered to help produce the sets for the next show. The date of the show was approaching and I was essentially out of time but the good folks at Arts Alive had applied for and received some grant money and suddenly we had money for printing-large scale printing! Large scale as in 15 feet high and 30 feet long. I did a bunch of 8 foot square panels as well. Two nights of photoshop painting, a very accommodating large format printing company and ta dah! A show!
The amazing and fearless kids made the show a smash hit. But I look at the backdrops now, a year later, and I think they still look pretty good!

Maybe just a tad better than the backdrops for my old school plays - a brown curtain.

Thanks for posting these Christopher!

Gorgeous! Those kids are truly blessed to have you around. I hope those backdrops are being preserved and passed along for further use. Simply beautiful.

Thanks!
Paul Lasaine had a really inspiring post a few years ago about some sets he designed for a kids play.
It was a blast and I will do it again if time permits.
