Character Designs

Nutcracker 2024

I come from a family for the past ten years at least one of us has been participating in our local Nutcracker production. In 2024 I decided to design 18 roles and 20 products for Lincoln Midwest Ballet Company's Nutcracker Boutique. Here are the final button designs

Planning Process

While working on this project I spent 4 months hunkered in my room watching old Nutcracker DVDs for inspiration and pose refrence.
