Gaston

Description

Our wonderful Dan Warnick as Gaston. He was so awesome and funny! I painted this to go over the "mantlepiece" on the flats we painted for Gaston's tavern. The direct reference was a photo I took of him in this pose, but it's all painted by me.

Our prop master, Craig, (the actual husband of our "wardrobe", Beth) made the chair that's in the picture. He took this very Aztec-looking purple chair we got free from what McDonald's commercial studios were throwing out, painted it, and added deer heads and antlers. We affectionately began calling the chair "Stanley", and because we all loved him so much, I decided he should be in the picture as well. Sadly, the awesomesauce blunderbuss Craig rented for Gaston isn't in the pic since that was a late addition, so I used reference of one off the net. The one we actually used was so much cooler. Oh well. At least the boots made it in! Dan just went out and got them on his own, and they are just THE COOLEST BOOTS EVAH! We worshipped those things XD The frame....ok, I cheated on that. It's an actual wood frame I found on the net. Don't shoot me!

I'm not sure anyone out in the audience could see it, as it ended up printing out much smaller than I intended, but Dan snatched it and took it home as soon as we started striking the set, so I think he liked it XD He can put it over the mantle of his and his family's new home. Congratulations, guys!
