I've had this unspoken rule regarding the blog in which I leave out the day job. What you see here is freelance work, sketches and over the last few years a number of bass building projects. It might lead one to believe that money grows on trees and I'm fortunate enough to have an orchard of them allowing me to sketch and build random things all day every day. But in fact, this is not the situation. In 2013, I was lucky enough to land a job with one of this country's best theaters, Steppenwolf (how's that saying go? The harder you work the luckier you get? …somethin' like that). I haven't posted much in the way of Steppenwolf, but most days that's what I'm working on and thinking about.
The theater is going through some changes—new things—and as we get ready to open the last play of this season, I'd like to show off the images from this year (one of our new things). For the last decade Steppenwolf has lived strictly in black, red and white featuring black and white photography. This year, in collaboration with a great group of co-workers and photographer Saverio Truglia Steppenwolf moved into a limited-color-world. Its a subtle and yet humongous step. On a theater campus of black, white and red, the new hits of color have added so much vibrancy and excitement. It might be one of the biggest things I've done and as is the nature of graphic design nobody has any idea that I've had a hand in it.
