Now of course this is not the artwork for my show. At the end of last semester I approached a good friend, former dorm neighbor, and great artist Toren Hill to do the atwork for The Birthday Dinner cause he was probably one of the first people I told about the play. The idea for the play came to me while taking a shower in the dorm that both Toren and myself lived in so he was one of the first people I told about the idea cause he was next door. Toren is a busy man...he is a working artist now so he would try to, but suggested I get someone else just in case.
I then asked my good friend and fellow theatre major Amanda Lyon to also do artwork for the show as she herself is not only an artist of the stage but a visual artist as well. Today Amanda e-mailed her artwork and it blew me away. It's like my baby has a face. Seeing the sonogram that is so detailed you can almost see your baby. Now all that's left is to see it with my own eyes. The artwork is amazing. It has the right feel for my show.
Strangely enough the day Amanda sends the artwork, Toren sends a message....his plate finally cleared and he can start work on artwork for The Birthday Dinner. I am very pleased and happy and thrilled with Amanda's work and I'm excited to see what Toren will do as well.
I wish I could post Amanda's artwork to blow you away as it did me, but we'll save that for later. All good things come with time.
