A costume rendering for Balthasar, the minstrel from William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing"
This was a theoretical design for a class, in this case, set in 1760s America, post-French and Indian War but pre-Revolutionary. Balthasar is the minstrel but I decided to make him an average member of this frontier town. He has no instrument because I thought it a bit more appropriate for someone living on the frontier to not have one.
The croakies (body figures) were provided by Jack Smith.

Now it's time for August 2008 Visual Art Features, many new art to discover!
Don't forget that many artists need to be viewed, they deserve it! Fave Fave Fave! My main purpose in doing a monthly feature about (to my point of view) 'the best visual art' is to put in the same level as well wellknown artists and popular creations as unknown artists and under-exposed creations. Artists need to be supported. So don't be shy!
Here's the Menu per Category :
Digital Paintings & Drawings | Mixed Media | PhotoManipulations | 3-Dimensional | Vector & Vexels | Photography | Traditional Paintings & Drawings | Artisan Crafts
