ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD



I've long had an interest in dramatic and stage-like images. My series 'The Living Room Theatre' stands as an early example. A while back I put the feelers out to see if any of the theatre companies here would allow me to sit in on rehearsals for sketching purposes. Well, to cut a long story short, my friend Jim High, an English actor based in Prague, invited me to come along to rehearsals for ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD this week. The sketches will be shown at the Alfred ve Dvore theatre for the duration of the play. Here are three in progress snaps, blurry snaps at that...finished images will come online tomorrow sometime....provided my scanner will cooperate. Wine was used as a tint in these images as well as Indian ink and pastel. More soon...
