Ain’t Misbehavin’ Poster First Pass


The art for the Ain’t Misbehavin’ poster is a rare case where my first impressions were right on point. I think I had to work on the title and credits but the art itself held up. There were a whole list of instructions on how big each credit should be related to the other credits. Actually now that I am thinking back, several of the facial expressions on the men had to be changed. So the final poster is a bit different than what I first created. If I remember right one of the men’s fces looked a bit painted as he was singing. It is always a challenge to get just the right expression while someone sings.

Ain’t Misbehavin’ runs at the Orlando Shakes between April 10-28, 2024. I watched the original cast perform to get inspiration for the poster and the show is a blast.  Tickets run between $32.86 and $48.76.

This is the first post I am writing after moving into a new home/studio in Orlando. I spent the morning setting up the modem and router and this is the first time I have hit the internet. I am surrounded by mountains of boxes mostly filled with art books. I unpacked a couple of boxes because I had to find the phone and computer charging cables. I unpacked 3 boxes before I hit the power chord pay dirt.

Yesterday most of the moving was done but a few things remain, like my Disney Desk and a mattress and box spring. I was stiff as a rockk after a day of lifting. I could baily turn my head. I slept hard last night. This place has two bedrooms and one is now filled with art. The other is mostly empty but I layed out the camping mats in case I decide to sleep in there. The living room which I am using as the studio, has tons of light. I will do a sketch of the chaos tonight after I finish working with an online student between 6-8pm.
