In spring 2016, I embarked on my largest illustration project to date — a 6×9 ft exhibition title wall for the Gibbes Museum of Art (Charleston, SC). The playbill-inspired illustration would be printed as a vinyl wrap on a partition wall. The introductory panel welcomes museum-goers to The Art of Porgy and Bess exhibition on display from May 28-October 9, 2016. It was later reproduced as a poster, matted print, and magnet on sale at the Museum Store.
