The Challenge:
To round out my portfolio, I felt the need to create a Theater poster - having been inspired by the movie posters that were arrayed around our classrooms. I researched the local theaters to find which shows were in town - and found Wicked. While the original art for this musical was wonderful, I wanted to do my own variant upon the piece.
The Solution
Since the storyline of the musical is basically that the Wicked Witch of the West got a bad rap - I felt I wanted a somewhat realistic piece that showed her as a pretty woman, even if she was green. I always felt a bit of sympathy for her in the Wizard of Oz - and this story gives me a chance to make that sympathy work.
While the image is simple - I believe that shows the strength of the piece.
