Designs for Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice, opening in just a couple weeks!! The Stones and Hades make more sense in the context of the scenic design--we went for an upstairs/downstairs art deco corporate aesthetic for the Underworld. The haves and have-nots, the breakdown of language after death, and shapes and colors suggestive of both classical architecture and the all-important river.

Our production has two actors playing Eurydice on alternating nights, hence the two people in the Eurydice renderings.

All designs are my own, please don't use these without permission.

I realized I had only uploaded like half of the drawings from URFP here hahaha. Anyway, these kids have been living in my brain since 2019 and I'm finally getting somewhere with it so I feel like I can actually post about them without jinxing myself!

#untitled regency fantasy project #sketching #their designs have shifted a little but the basics have stayed pretty much the same #join me in my 'give pre-20th century characters spectacles' agenda pspspsps you know you want to

Borrowing a trick I learned in grad school for costume design--when you feel at all alienated from your characters because they exist in a different time, try to imagine them in the present. What's the same? What changes? How would they act with different social pressures on them, and what does that say about the heart of their personality?

I felt like I was getting in the weeds plotting #untitledregencyfantasyproject and moving the characters around like chesspieces, rather than letting them have some agency to drive the story, so here's a little experiment - drawing the girls as contemporary students (I'm lucky to have loads of reference on a daily basis).

Gwen, a romantic, wears her wispy hair long, , and sports a flirty challis jumpsuit (it's probably floral). I think she'd major in bio specifically to do fieldwork because she wants very badly to have Adventures™. Julia, meanwhile, is an English Lit major who loves being comfortable, and thrifts all her clothes as a point of pride. Her eyes aren't bad enough in URFP to make the concession to glasses quite yet, but her brother wears them, so it's likely that modern opticians would recommend it (especially since her contemporary self would never be far from her laptop).

I never posted my Little Creature! Made this last spring on a whim, the body is cut from an old undershirt, and the head and limbs are sculpted of lightweight baking clay. They're still nude and bald because I got busy, but maybe eventually I'll make them some clothes and give them some hair.

WOW ok I haven't posted in a long time, I was too busy getting my master's degree!!! I made a lot of art this spring, here's some teasers of my thesis presentation on Leontovych's Na Rusalchyn Velykden, and an entire two classes worth of attendance index cards - 3min self-portrait warmups, idea courtesy of the legendary Lynda Barry.

Anyway, if anyone is still here, I'm a college professor now, but I'm not going to let that stop me making ridiculous fan comics (and hopefully, in fact, it gives me more ideas).

love & light, stay frosty, xo

He said "Lie down, by brindled hound and rest ye, my good grey hawk And thee, my steed may graze thy fill for I must dismount and walk But come when you hear my horn and answer swift the call For I fear ere the sun will rise this morn ye will serve me best of all"

And it's down to the water's brim he's born the rowan shield And the goldenrod he has cast in to see what the lake might yield And wet she rose from the lake, and fast and fleet went she One half the form of a maiden fair with a jet black mare's body

watercolor illustration of The Witch of the Westmoreland, cheers to my two best friends Stan Rogers and Kate Rusby whose dulcet tones always keep me going

Lord Portico's eldest daughter.

Reread @neil-gaiman's Neverwhere for the first time in... maybe a decade? and have been trying to experiment with different rendering methods, so I thought I'd use Door as a guinea pig. I'd die happy if I could design this show for the stage someday.

My scanner isn't too fond of the fluorescent paints and metallics, so the bottom two are phone pics!

not my typical medium, but I have to show off the tiny robe I made for Tiny Stede.

It's the same velvet from Handicraft Palace as my big one, so it's screen-accurate, though it was much too small to line! Instead of orange piping, I did a little chain stitch, and I made the tassels myself. It's also entirely handsewn with a tiny blanket stitch because this fabric LOVES to unravel.

Stede himself was made by my genius friend Anna, and while she doesn't take commissions, you can make your own with this pattern she devised: gentleman pirate pattern

your past tense izzy hands post came up on my dash and your comment at the end reminded me of something my brother and i used to say about our cat jasmine. jazzy wazzy was a bear. jazzy wazzy had no hair. jazzy wazzy wasn't very fuzzy was she. (but all the s sounds are z sounds) (also jasmine's hair is extremely thick she has no worries about going bald)

HAHA AWW yeah it is definitely inspired by the "fuzzy wuzzy" rhyme!!

also thrilled every time I meet someone else who sings stupid songs to animals, it's the best thing about having pets
