Designer's Day

One of the great, fun, satisfying things about a theater designer's life is that each day is different.

Last week was filled with painting and set dressing days.  With shopping days and driving days and lugging-stuff days.  Today turned into a talk-to-people day... though, as we talked, a certain amount of painting happened.  Quite a bit of painting, actually, on a friend's set, plus a little loaning out of models and drawings to another friend with a class that's learning about set design, and, tonight, seeing yet another friend's show.

Meanwhile, there are shows waiting on my board: waiting for this weekend's scribbles to turn (magically!) into neat construction drawings; or for a scattering of vague back-of-my-mind ideas to jell into a coordinated design. Tomorrow will be a drawing day.
