I recently finished working on a really fun project with <a href="http://www.operamemphis.org/">Opera Memphis</a> in which I designed the sets for their production of <a href="http://www.operamemphis.org/event/hansel-gretel/">Hansel and Gretel</a>. Everything was digitally projected onto three huge screens, with the exception of a few very minimal physical props. This approach allowed me to complete the illustrations at a small scale, and then those same paintings were projected onto the screens.</div>

Using digital projections allowed for some unique and fun effects, such as the forest scrolling across the three screens as the performers wandered through it. There were also spooky glowing eyes that appeared and disappeared in the night forest, and the witch's house grew as Hansel and Gretel approached it and then disintegrated at the end when she was defeated.</div>

This was my first time doing a project of this nature and I absolutely loved it. I enjoy working collaboratively with artists of different fields and it was super thrilling to see my illustrations life-sized and part of something so great. I mean, really, a fairytale opera? What could be more perfect for me? Everyone at Opera Memphis was a real pleasure to work with and they did a fabulous job on the production. Thanks guys!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I currently have a show up at <a href="http://www.tartmemphis.com/">Tart</a>, a wonderful new cafe/gallery here in Memphis. This show was particularly interesting because the owner encouraged me to paint on the walls as an accompaniment to my hanging art. Most of my work tends to be rather small, so getting to create large scale drawings across walls was very different and fun for me. The show will be up until August 31st, so swing by and check it out! The food at Tart is also <i>really </i>good, btw.</div>

I recently did this illustration which was used in promotional materials for "Dreamnight" at the Memphis Zoo. The event is a special night at the zoo for families of kids at St. Jude and Le Bonheur children's hospitals. (graphic design by Laura Horn)<br />

An update finally! I'll try to be better about not leaving months of silence between my posts in the future. Anyway, here's what I've been up to since November. The image above is a fun Christmas gift commission. The size was around 8.5x11". (In case I haven't mentioned it enough, I enjoy personal commissions, so don't be shy about dropping me a line.)<br />

Everything went really smoothly this year, once again the weather was merciful, and we had a great group of people.<br />
The opening reception for the show will be on September 8, 6-9 pm, at Memphis College of Art (1930 Poplar Ave).<br />

The commissioner's (I like to say "commissioner" rather than "client" because it makes me feel like <a href="http://www.arksark.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Batman-Commissioner-Gordon-Tobacco-Christmas.jpg">Batman</a>) specifications for this piece were that it involve rabbits and have a fairytale-ish tone. I decided to take inspiration from the many <a href="http://www.savingcranes.org/whats-new/2011/02/year-of-the-rabbit/">rabbit/moon</a> folktales.</div>

Intended as a companion piece to <a href="http://whatisaduckworth.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-plaques-and-new-website.html">another of mine </a> (Butcher Boy, first plaque pictured) that they already own.<br />
<br />
I enjoy doing personal commissions. If any of you folks out there want something special, drop me a line! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
2011 was a fairly busy and productive year for me, with lots of new experiences gained along the way. I'm still bummed that I fell off the <a href="http://www.whatisaduckworth.blogspot.com/search/label/houses">Housing Project </a>wagon in September after making it all the way to 257. I'm wondering if I should just keep going to 365 anyhow, even though that violates the original "house a day" concept. Hmm. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cheers to a happy, healthy, and creative 2012! My resolution is to be less like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L7Svf7Gmws">this</a>, and more like an artistic <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZACT4UgBog&feature=fvst">powerhouse</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good luck with your own resolutions, everyone! </div>

I have some paintings on display this month at Clarksville's <a href="http://roxyregionaltheatre.org/about-us/peg-harvill-gallery/">Roxy Regional Theatre</a>.
There is a gallery attached which features art shows related to the
play running at the time. I was asked to create some pieces to accompany
a stage adaptation of <i>A Tale of Two Cities.</i><br />

Rather than strictly illustrating scenes from the story, I decided to play around with some of the themes and motifs. Here (below) I was thinking of the frequent use of contrast and doubles. I'm using rats as a symbol for the peasantry in part because they are
often thought of as filthy vermin, but are really very intelligent and
adaptable animals. A friend of mine once had a pet rat, it was adorable. Also, they fit well with a portrayal of "the masses". You may not think much of a rat, until you see that they are <i>everywhere</i>.</div>

Here I was thinking about the way Dickens portrays the Revolution, with each side capable of innocence and atrocity. There is no strict dualism, though the opposing parties may perceive it as such. </div>

I recently finished this project for the Dixon Gallery and Gardens. The illustrations are being used in the children's activities room, "The Room of Wonders, which is part of the current "From Houdini to Hugo" exhibit featuring the work of Brian Selznick. The exhibit is awesome, I encourage anyone interested in illustration to go check it out.</div>

I was asked to create three 3'x6' illustrations centered around the theme of "Wonder"(and the hand lettered title image). They basically left the content up to me, so it was really fun to work on these. The areas where the faces would be were cut out so the kids could look through the holes and see themselves in the picture.</div>

I only had about a week and a half to do everything, which forced me to decide on the subject matter quickly. I was kind of glad for that, otherwise I probably would have spent an absurd amount of time second guessing whether whatever I drew sufficiently embodied "wonder".</div>

Due to getting really busy with other stuff, I am (sadly) putting the <a href="http://www.whatisaduckworth.blogspot.com/search/label/houses">Housing Project</a> on hold for the time being. On one hand, I'm bummed to break the chain since I've been keeping up with it pretty well so far. On the other hand, I'm glad to be busy. Oh well. My thanks to all you folks who were following along every week!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As for what I've been busy with, the coming month is full of art faires/festivals/craft show-things. This Saturday October 1, I'll be at the Cooper-Young Community Farmers Market <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=289915717688851">Artisan Faire</a>. The image above is a new mounted print I'll have available of one of my <a href="http://www.whatisaduckworth.blogspot.com/2011/08/horn-island-27.html">Horn Island</a> pieces. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next week I'll be at <a href="http://luvmud.com/">LuvMud 2011</a> with the lovely <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/nikkila">Nikkila Carroll</a>. The weekend after that, the <a href="http://www.artsmemphis.org/event/detail/441404030/Arts_Pop_Up_Frayser_">Arts Pop Up festival</a>. Also, possibly a couple more things happening in November, updates on that later.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In addition to the vendor events, I'm doing some work for a couple of gallery shows (also to be finished before November) among other various and sundry projects. Phew. Why does everything always end up coming at the same time? Certainly not complaining though!</div>

"High in the pine tree,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little turtledove</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Made a little nursery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To please her little love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Coo," said the turtledove,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Coo," said she;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the long, shady branches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of the dark pine tree."</div>
