I've been invited to take part in a project called Pointe Blank.

I won't waffle on about it because it's undoubtedly explained much better than I'd ever manage over there on the Pointe Blank website; but the essence is to bring designers/illustrators together to each create a piece which conveys some of the story, themes and/or atmosphere of Birmingham Royal Ballet's production, Coppélia.

The above's a work-in-progress detail of my submission. I think I'm happy with it. So far …

The complete design – and everyone else's pieces – will be viewable at a launch event at Birmingham Hippodrome (home of BRB) on 13th June, as well as on the Pointe Blank website. (I'll pop my design here on the blog too.)
