Sangue ed Amore: "La serva celata"

From Luigi Pozzo's 1782 comedy, "La serva celata." The caption reads: "Act II Finale. Madame X, concealed behind the curtain, awaits the arrival of Sir Reginald that she may learn the fate of her nephew's military career. Sir Reginald, concealed behind the Japanese screen, awaits the arrival of Alison the maid, in order to secretly test her constancy. Alison the maid, concealed beneath the rug, awaits the arrival of her lover, Hyperion Ringwell, to learn whether he is faithful to her. Hyperion Ringwell, concealed within the armoire, awaits the arrival of Michaela, that he may observe her dealings with Francesco. Michaela, concealed in a secret compartment in the ceiling, awaits the arrival of Francesco, that she may overhear his amorous advances upon Alison the maid. Francesco, concealed within the chest, awaits the arrival of his aunt and lover, Madame X, to observe whether she keep her secret promise. Elliott the butler, concealed behind the arras, waits for everyone to leave so that he may get back to work." -- Another installment in my series of opera spoofs, "Sangue ed Amore."

Catalogue d'Oiseaux

These images were created for the Barn Swallow Gallery, which is representing my work. These should hopefully be available in their online store at some point. There will also be postcards, notecards and suchlike available in the future.

Tug of War Turtle

This is a series I did for a story about an opinionated turtle who resents the social standing of the elephant and hippopotamus, then works to bring about their downfall.

Sangue ed Amore: "Gerbiglio"

"Act III. Teresa drops a pellet of poison into the Madeira, having been told that the masked stranger with whom she has recently pledged eternal troth is in fact none other than the depraved Duke of Alvarez who, years ago, had murdered her gerbil (however, the stranger is actually her father, secretly returned from his twenty-year exile)." From the dramatic third act of Beniamino Tornatelli's 1861 opera, Gerbiglio. - --I've been doing a little series of opera spoofs recently, just for fun. I'll post more later.--

This is an experiment I did in Adobe Illustrator a few months ago. Lots of dots.
