Woo! I made Lee draw another night scene.
She’s going to kill me in my sleep you guys. This scene takes place at night and there is grass and feet and hands and goats.
Uh. Good thing she still needs me to finish the story?

Hello all!
Once again, myself and several other MN comic artists were fortunate enough to attend the final full dress rehersal of an opera at the Ordway. This time the show du jour was Werther. The music was amazing, and so were the costumes. The singers were fantastic. You can find posts from other Black Hatters, including Lisa, and Nicole. As always, I was there to sketch the night away. Here are a few of the results:

Another Comic Artists Night at the Opera events!- Pics
on November 13, 2011 at 10:45 pmPosted In: Uncategorized
Hello, all!
The MN Opera company was kind enough to let myself and several other comic artists in to yet another of their final full dress rehearsals this past week, so we could sketch, and tell you all how awesome it was. Thankfully, it was, as usual, pretty dang awesome. In fact, it was one of my favorites so far. The show was brand new, and commissioned by the opera company and was one of only 3 new, premiering operas in the US this whole year. It was called Silent Night, and was about the Christmas eve truce in WWI, between the French, the Germans, and the Scotts. It was surprisingly light on religious overtones, and focused more on the very human and earthy motivations and interactions of the men and women involved. I drew a few pages worth of sketches, but have chosen my 7 favorites for sharing. I’ll update this post with an edit when I have the links to more of the other artists in attendance’s sketches.If you live in MN, I really would suggest seeing this. It’s subtitled and opera doesn’t cost as much as you think. Also, the set was Ah. May. Zing. Both lovely and technically baffling.
Hope you all enjoy!
-Lee
