no war on whimsy yet

Yesterday Mr. Gunning and I met with the ever talented Dana Carslon to inquire as to whether or not we could commission her for the artwork for the play's postcards, poster and playbill.

We love Dana's work and think it is a good fit for tone of the play. The play is a somewhat whimsical comedy and although I dread whimsy in real life, I will tolerate it in the pursuance of art. I will not declare war on whimsy until after this show is finished. Did I say finished? I meant flimmished. It's okay. They sound a lot alike.

PS this post is not saying that Dana's work is pure whimsy. It is not. We just know she could bring the "W"-word if'n she wants to. And if she wants to sneak an owl into the mix . . . I'm not saying no. . .

Shaun I hope you don't mind that I'm already quoting the play.
