Key Art

I’ve been creating key art for Bay Area theatre companies since 1995. And, while I'm not the greatest creator in this market (I think that honor goes to Shotgun Players‘ Rich Black), it’s been a joy to follow in the footsteps of show art designers I've always idolized: James McMullan, Gilbert Lesser, David Byrd, Frank Verlizzo, and not-always-theatrical design greats like Edward Gorey, David Lance Goines, Herb Lubalin, and Milton Glaser.

Below are just some of my favorite pieces — key art that I think does very well at conveying what a given show is all about in a compelling way.
