I found this stack of drawings in a box of things I had with me in Chelsea during my time at the Purple Rose (2011). They were accompanied by a piece of paper on which I wrote a favorite quote:
"An actor struggles to die onstage, but a puppet has to struggle to live, and in a way that's a metaphor for life."
-Adrian Kohler, co-founder of Handspring Puppet Company, during his TED talk with co-founder Basil Jones
A sentiment a theater artisan could live on, I think.

The last three drawings were sketchbook images for our self-written Apprentice production in August 2011, Dark Night. We actually built a version of the shoes I drew in the last image for the show, and the lovely Katie Mack wore them in performance.
