An Afternoon at the Opera
posted: April 18, 2009
The Los Angeles Times asked me to attend a dress rehearsal for the LA Opera's production of "The Birds," a fable written by Walter Braunfels in Munich in 1920. I hung around backstage and in the empty Dorothy Chandler Pavillion and watched as all the parts to the opera came together: no sign of Bugs Bunny.

What a great assignment. Nice drawings too. Did you take any photo reference as well?

Great work! They have the feel of classic New Yorker covers.
