Presidential Candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton

Presidential Candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton © Neil Feigeles,  Here's my first attempt at capturing the essence of possibly our next President, Hillary Clinton. I've personally always admired her,  and hopefully my art gives her the gravitas that I think she deserves. Win or lose, this great American has solidified her place in the history books. Personally I hope, her story has an even more historic chapter to write. And yes, she's got my vote.  


Below is a chart of the finished sketch,  The art was hand illustrated by me. Drawn in Corel Painter, using a Wacom tablet. No tracing,  just drawing from scratch just like the good old days of pencil on paper, but with the benefit of modern technology.

BIG NEWS:  JUST BEEN CAST IN A NEW SHOW!

Casey — 30 years later!  

About a month back I auditioned for Beverly Bonner of Basket Case fame. You see, she's written a wonderful comedy and I'm now performing in it. You heard that correct. I'm back in a new show. 

In September, I'll start playing 2 roles in the production, Dusty the Drunk & the Basket Box, but before that I'll be filling in for another actor on 2 other roles, this coming Monday August 17, and playing… well you have to see it. Lets just say, you'll be seeing a different side of me. Hmmm…
Of note: When I was in my twenties, sometime in the early '80s I went to see the movie Basket Case [for the first time], at one of its Midnight screenings downtown Manhattan. And it wasn't the only time I saw it… so I am very stoked to actually get my chance to play in the same Universe as the one and only Beverly Bonner, or should I write Casey!
Comedy, Horror, Sexy Twisted Characters?   That’s Casey---30 Year Later!  The play that will have you running for your Prozac!  After shocking you with our naughty Ladies of the Evening and Casey’s no holds barred dialogue, we’ll scare the crap out of you with our very own wicked serial killer living in Casey’s lower East Side bar lurking in a mysterious Basket-Box, then when we have finished shocking you senseless, we’ll finish you off by killing you with laughter!  WHAT A WAY TO GO!!!
CASEY----30 YEARS LATER!!,  written by, directed and starring Beverly Bonner, is based upon her “Casey” character in Frank Henenlotter’s cult horror film classic, “Basket Case.”  Released in 1982, this horror film tells the story of a young man who carries his deformed conjoined twin brother in a large basket while seeking vengeance on the doctors who separated them against their will.  Written and directed by Frank Henenlotter, “Basket Case” became a cult hit and spawned two sequels.

So much fun, getting the chance to perform in anything, but especially with a large ensemble. But reliving a favorite show from my youth and getting the chance to play in its genius, in its peculiar world, is truly a good reason to continue on this journey. 

Well here's one memory I'll keep, Here's the script for the show, with the autographs of everyone who appeared on it and behind it.
