However, if you have a graphics tablet I encourage you to give it a try. I was surprised at the very painterly results and played for hours. This is my first stab at a digital painting. Call it a sketch...

Part of the very last props created for the production were a series of theatrical posters from Max Bialystock's former lackluster stage plays.

This provided me with an opportunity to include some of the "behind the scenes" faces including the Director of the Orchestra, the Director, the Assistant, and the Technical Director. I never posted them so, here they are...
