Shamelessly Grotesque
Published September 29th, 2006 in Illustration, Design, CharacterBelow is a flyer and poster design I’ve just completed for No Shame Theatre’s 20th Anniversary. This one will be distributed in Iowa City, where No Shame originated (the first No Shame performance was out of the back of a pick-up truck). An alternate version will be used for the Los Angeles No Shame and we’ve also discussed putting this image on T-Shirts.
Okay, so it’s rather grotesque, but keep in mind that the forms are abstracted and you could not see anything grotesque in it, were it not for the aid of your own imagination. Any resemblance to forms or actions deemed rude or obscene are purely coincidental. Given another look, I’m sure you’ll see that what you thought was one thing is really just a nose, or eyes, etc., of a silly cartoon character. Harmless G-rated fun, all around!

Very cool. And yeah, totally G-rated as far as I can tell. Except for that bunny-squirrel thing on the top right. I just know he’s thinking dirty thoughts.
Thank ya, Cheryl. Glad you agree. And that bunny-squirrel thing is supposed to be a ferret wearing bunny ears. I know it’s not obvious, but that’s okay. It’s not meant to be. Here’s the real thing:
Okay, maybe he’s thinking, “Get these bunny ears off my head.”
Yeah, but for some reason, I imagine Cheech Marin doing the voice. Like, “‘Ey man, get deez bunny ears off my head, man.”
That thing looks like Hieronymus Bosch and Hanna Barbera had a baby!
Ha ha! That’s awesome. Thanks, Nick!
