So, I haven't posted for a while but here is a brief insight into a project I worked on recently. I was approached by a theatre director to provide imagery to compliment the play "Dog Sees God." This was an exploration into Charles Schulz characters such as Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schroeder and the gang as they enter young adulthood. I will admit that "Peanuts" is probably my favorite cartoon strip as well as a major part of my childhood. During all the fall and winter holidays, my family gathers around to watch the beloved Bill Melendez-animated TV specials.
That is why some of the subject matter in the play, admittedly, rubbed me the wrong way. You will have to read/see the play to understand what I mean. That being said, I also liked the challenge of combining the pen and ink look of Schulz with an almost Frank Miller style in these shots. Showcased below are some of the more striking images that I came up with for the play.
