What better way to battle the epic winter we’re having: working on a poster for The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. All this ice is brilliant inspiration.
I drew a jagged ice palace in my sketchbook after a walk backshore.
These are 4 of the rough ideas I showed to Portland Stage Company.
During one of many blizzards, I got carried away with the idea of a snowflake mask.
With winter blues swirling outside, I worked on a color version for a web banner.
Another version includes the roses that pop up in the play.
In my over 2o years of island living, I’ve not seen Casco Bay this frozen. Travels on the ferry now are literal ice breakers.
The sketch with a reindeer got the nod. I showed a revised sketch next.
And here’s the final:
The Snow Queen is scheduled for Portland Stage’s 2015 holiday season. How many blizzards to go?
