Playhouse Poster and Hans Bacher

I always wanted to do a Broadway or movie poster, my way. When the community playhouse in Sierra Madre asked me to do a poster for a modest budget, I volunteered to do it for free if they gave me total art directional control. The play is about two male actors who play women in a Shakespearian play. I ran out of time to do the lettering so I let them do the type, with minimal suggestions. Working for free makes me realize cartooning isn't dead to me, just art directors are.

that sounds cool. So they don't get to tell you how to do your stuff, but what it they simply don't want to use it?
it = if
Cool!
Glad to hear it, Bill. This is a very striking piece. Love what you did with it. Digital, yes no?
thanks everyone. If they didn't want to use the image I'd be shocked since I gave a pretty good verbal description. As far as process is from a rough brush maker sketch taken into Photoshop.
Lush...I mean the painting of course.
I Gotta be careful with those one word compliments.
It's gorgeous. Very inspiring! May I say that I never imagined posting a comment to the man who traumatized me when I was a child, with his freaky Ren and Stimpy Show's paintings :)
Great stuff Bill.
Liking the hairy man-arm with the nail-polished hand.
I like how you make things look old.
Yowzers! All digital? NICE!
Looking great.
