Theatrical Faces

A couple years ago I was invited to draw caricatures at a casting party for a small theater company in Lawrenceville, NJ. I drew all the actors there, plus a few who couldn't make it from photos, and they posted my caricatures of them on their website as a clickable image that takes you to the photo of the actor. Here's the link to those drawings, still on their website, as the company gets more and more successful:

I was called again last summer and early this year to draw a bunch more faces for them to include on their site, and I was honored to help them out again, though this time they were drawn only from photos. 

Here they are for your perusal.

 

 

My What Big Teeth You Have!

I drew this googly eyed fellow (in ink and wash) as the Big Bad Wolf, for a production of "Little Red Riding Hood" for a youth theater company in NJ, last fall. They wanted a huge size which I don't usually work in: 18 x 24, and were apparently going to use the full sized drawing as a prop on stage. I never did find out how it was used as they never sent me photos or posted it on their website. Maybe it was never used, as those teeth and crazy eyes might have been too scary for the kids. I want to do more work like this!
