Opera Season 2012 {illustration}

Here is the last of the 2012 operas covers I got to illustrate this year. I think I love these even more than last years. Because The Barber of Seville is a comic opera with super colorful costumes and characters, I wanted the colors to be fun. Picking the right colors became the hardest part of this project. Sometimes colors come so easily. This time I played and played and played until I almost went color blind. I pretty much gathered a panel of designers and put the final color choice to a vote. Luckily, I work with a super talented staff of designers and artists so how could I lose. I can't wait until next opera season!
