Grease is Still the Word

I live in a great town. Portsmouth is a small city with an extraordinary amount of art and entertainment to enjoy.

Prescott Park is a quaint riverside park that becomes an outdoor theater during the summer. Many musical acts grace the stage, but the cornerstone of the season is a big musical production. Thousands of people flock to the park with their picnic blankets and bug spray to enjoy a show.

This year that show is Grease! The folks at Prescott Park Arts Festival asked me to create a poster for the event and I was happy to oblige.

I hope to see you in the park one night this summer, just don't forget the bug spray.

Clever and amusing concept. Nice to see you return to one of your classic/comic-book styles. The black and white, ink and brush rendering is so bold it doesn't require any color. Very eye-catching!

Fantastic work Robert, spot on style for that show. Love the concept and type treatment.

Awesome! I saw these around town this weekend; looks terrific. Except now I'm going to have "Beauty School Dropout" stuck in my head...
