these are my copies of a wonderful illustrator named Sarah Markes. She's based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Her book about that city is called Street Level. The sketches are on top of old notes and working drawings.

my design for a production of JAMES JOYCE IS DEAD AND SO IS PARIS: THE LUCIA JOYCE CABARET at Connecticut College, February 2015. This is a fantastic devised piece by Pig Iron theatre, and I can't wait for the kids at ConnColl to sink their teeth into it.

It is a mirrored room with audience on both sides. Fantastic sound design by John Scully.
