This is the poster I illustrated and designed for talented composer M.Zachary Johnson announcing the maiden performance of his ambitious opera, "The Boston Tea Party".
I want to thank Mr. Johnson for the opportunity to lend a hand to such a heart-felt project and wish him the sincere accolades he deserves.
For those in the New York City area, check out his site of up-dates, performance times and general artistic backgrounds of the cast.

Great poster! I will join the Kickstarter campaign and publish the "Farewell to Tea-Time" video on our site, TeaParty.nu.
Thanks again to John for creating the blog banner and logotype for TeaParty.nu!

They were protesting taxation without representation. Now, we have representation and we still have taxation. Representaiton comes and goes - taxation was, is, and always will be. Happy April 15th.

Very, very nice. As you know, I like this effect--& not one element the least bit off or out of place.
If you don't mind telling, what is the title font? I haven't had an easy time finding good script fonts--that's the best I've seen, & it could be easily altered.

Hey T
Find "Da Font" website. It has a variety of free fonts you can down load. You'll find that typeface under the "script" category. It's called Old "something". Can't quite remember it. I did this piece in January.

Oh yeah. Thanks for the encouraging word. This illustration had a huge grocery list that we had to balance out. Ultimately, I convinced the creative team that the bolder and more direct the illustration got, the better.

I appreciate it, sir. Maybe you can tell when a project gets meaty and you can sink the ol' canines.
