In art school, my teacher told us to draw with fat, chunky materials.

That’s right. No more pencils.

Grab a chunk of charcoal or a crayon or maybe even draw with your eraser on a smudgy mess.

And it was other things too.

Draw with your opposite hand. Draw a subject but don’t look at your paper. Crazy stuff that was super uncomfortable, especially for us perfectionists.

But of course, that was the point.

To get us out of our comfort zone, to draw and see in new ways and to stop fussing over tiny details that don’t even matter. In a nutshell, to dare to get better.

I’m so thankful for that lesson.

It’s one I try to hold onto as I design new theatre projections or really anything.

So in your own way, I’d love to encourage you to ‘pick up a clumsy chunk of charcoal and get to work.’

I think you’ll be surprised what you see. 😀

👻 Our ADDAMS FAMILY digital backdrop set has really grown!

It has been tremendous fun continuing to look for new scenes and new approaches for fresh artwork for this show.

Yep, we still design every paintdrop and pixel in-house, because why would we ever give away the best part to a stranger or a robot! 🙂

Anyways, if you're looking to furnish your stage with a unique, handcrafted, and animated new world for Gomez, Morticia and the whole fam, give us a shout or check out the gallery!🎭

🤩 Have you done SIX the MUSICAL?

We're designing away here at the shop on new projections, both animated and still for the show, and would love to ask:

What projections or scenic elements would have helped as resources to bring the show to life even better?

(Take a look at what we've got and let me know what you'd love to see!)🎭🤟
