Curtain Call by *alex-heberling

Timelapse + commentary video: [link]

Once upon a time, in the ancient year of 2004, I drew a picture for my dad, who operates the bar at a theater, to advertise a house cocktail he created in order to use up some surplus liquor in stock. This drink was named THE CURTAIN CALL.

Not too long ago, I was visiting my parents for the holidays and saw a printout of the old artwork lying around the kitchen table. I was thinking to myself, “Man, I could do a much better job on this nowadays,” and apparently my dad was thinking the same thing, since he asked me to redo it.

A lovely piece I did last month for my friend Sean. He commissioned this for his girlfriend’s birthday and requested something in the style of my Outfit Of The Day work.

India ink, chalk pencil, and marker on recycled brown paper.
