Glorious results

ayli-bittany-v17Here’s the result of my Alphonse Mucha inspiration project. This image will be used for the inaugural season of the new Tennessee Shakespeare Company. I like the way it came out, and although inspired by the Mucha artwork, it is still my own, and represents how I see the world. Thanks to Brittany Morgan for her willing and able participation!

 

 


Inspiration from Mucha

I’m working on an image for “As You Like It” and hoping to channel Alphonse Mucha on this one. One of my favorite illustrators from the early part of the last century and a fixture in our household growing up (his work, that is), our family has had a long connection to this artist. At one point in the ’20′s or ’30′s my great-grandmother was a kind of patron to Mucha and ever since his presence and work has been around me.
Pretty girls and flowers. Always seems to work. But beyond that there is so much style in the work, so much motion and design and great typography. Stay tuned. Let’s see what happens!
