PROMOTIONAL POSTER: THE LORD LACKBEARDS

I did a series of posters to promote my friend's theatre company, THE LORD LACKBEARDS, out of Wellington, NZ. They're currently mounting their summer school tour of two plays, R&J, and Bedtime Monsters. I love that their summer is actually during the fall and spring terms for us, being on the opposite side of the equator. My friend would always come back to the states from Christmas break tanned while we were all white as ghosts.

This was a fun project and brought me back to my salad days of undergraduate theatre group posters.

Break a leg, Lackbeards!

SHAKESPEARE AT WINEDALE WATERCOLOR MAP

Time becomes elastic when you live and work in the same place, uninterrupted, with nothing vying for your attention except words, words, words. My summer of 2009 is a non-linear memory of specific locations or buildings (all within a two mile radius) where great things happened with my favorite people. This homage is not only google-mappingly sound, but it represents a private story that brings back good times - and can for most Winedalers. Enjoy, comrades.
