'The Odd Couple', poster for Soulpepper Theater
FEBRUARY 6, 2008
Acrylic and oil-based ink on bark paper, 15" x 15"
Some sketches below show people or personalities, but in the end I felt that the characters of Felix and Oscar are so well known, that a better way to go was to stay away from depicting faces. Focusing on their shoes seemed to tell the story in a different way.This is the final poster. A description of the play:
"When fastidious Felix is kicked out of his house he lands at the apartment of his chaotic chum Oscar. The result is a legendary comedic masterpiece about the frustrations of friendship, the insecurities of middle-age, and the explosion of opposites. As tender as it is hilarious, The Odd Couple is theatrical comedy at its most brilliant."
Very rough thumbnails, selections highlighted.
Too loud?
