Take a cast of a local play....

I have sort of created a monster.
I ran out of color in my printer and am happily making little prints of these. I have set myself 10 as a goal for the performance tomorrow. UNFORTUNATELY I just did the math and as I sort of promised a set to the gang, I realize I am in the OVER 200 print range.
I am going to sleeve the originals in photo sleeves on 20x16 butter board, double sided tape them to the walls.
This is a big project for a part time project.
So here are Helena and Demetrius and the sleeper, Bottom, Ariel and our Puck. Is he perfect or what!!!

I loved all of them Debra, but I like this last one best.

Great work.

Claudemir, thank you.
I believe that is going to be the marketing tool. I have printed 10 cards for tonight's performance and framed and signed a "limited run" of 500, just for snob appeal (and the first ten cards had a typo on the back - rip the back off and use a 5x7 99c special and we have impulse sales!)
I did two more but the group picture is only for repro, and probably not that even... I sprayed a matte varnish, not a fixative and it clouded over. Graphite and too much work. The printout on the computer looks better than the original.
The couple is more mood than content and I fear I will only have 8 tonight, as I have to go to work in 40 minutes.

Debra,
This is such an impressive endeavor. I am amazed at what you have accomplished. I LOVE these drawings, too!!! I have a feeling they will be sold out!!!

Good Luck and let us know.
