From the 2013 zombie romantic comedy Warm Bodies here's a portrait of the great character 'R' as he was perfectly portrayed by actor Nicholas Hoult.

What began as a quick black & white sketch of the actor Lon Chaney Jr., soon morphed into the classic American Horror film character, The Wolf Man. The film, first released in 1941 still holds up as the true interpretation of the legendary creation. Hopefully my first attempt at the actors take on the character does his extraordinary creation justice.

My latest attempt at bringing The Caped Crusader to life... this time, Tim Burton's brilliant take on him. Actually never realized the shape of the bat logo was so apparent on his cowl...honestly had way too much fun capturing the dynamics of it.  The illustration was created in photoshop, using my bamboo pen.

THE END OF AN ERA
Just a heads up to all. After eleven eventful years and over 850 performances on the great stage, my tenure at The Thirteenth Street Repertory Company has come to an end.
I know. I've decided its time to step into the next stage of my career. [Sorry about the pun]
Its been an amazing experience getting the chance to perform so many times and so often for over a decade in front of an New York City audience. Not something that usually comes with this job. But as an actor, what a treat.  I've learned a lot here at the rep., but now its time for new opportunities, new characters, new tests. 
I'd like to thank all the talented actors I've had the chance to play with in performance, rehearsal and simply getting to know as one of the members of Edith O'Hara's world. I'd especially like to thank all the lovely Molly's I got the chance to be married to.  It's been a blast.
I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille

I'VE CREATED A NEW BLOG
After a year of expressing my views on Facebook, I've decided to create a new blog, which I called NEILIZMS (unfortunately after I did, I discovered the phrase which I came up with in High School [over 35 years ago] is used a lot by others; so I might be calling it something else [for legal reasons], so if any of you out there can come up with something better perhaps I'd use your suggestion).
NEILIZMS is the political voice of artist/actor and writer Neil Feigeles. After spending most of my life quietly on the side while watching the Powers That Be throw us practically in the ditch. As racism and greed have quickly taken over the political world we live in. As I watch the rest of the world seemingly catching up to ours, I find it hard to believe ours is going backwards...

The site which can be found at the link: http://neilizms.blogspot.com shows my political side. 

As it states at its top: 

So check it out,  let me know if you agree or disagree with me. Spread the word. 
Neil

Sorry for the long silence in my blog

Its seems Google has accepted my password (again) and I can finally add new entries into this blog. Its been a frustrating game of email tag.  And today  it worked.  Yes, back to the future.  So in the next few days ( I hope) , I will recap my life here.
Of note, I've created a second blog... http://neilizms.blogspot.com/  to showcase my political views.  That's it for now.
New entries within a few days. I promise.

Celebrating the big anniversary, 9 years in the 'Line'... and counting

Believe it or not, but last weekend I celebrated a personal milestone.

Here goes, I began my long association in January 2001, with 'Line'. I was doing tech for the show, which was where I first learned about what a wonderful show 'Line' is. I then I got to audition for it. And somehow was given my shot at him. Stepping into the shoes of Israel Horovitz's wonderful multi-faceted character, Arnall.

Nine years later, I'm still getting a kick out of discovering new facets in him. I've had the extreme joy of performing him with an assortment of actors. For example, in the play I've been married over the years to more then 15 different Mollie's. Each new cast member I get the chance to play with bringing out a new facet of Arnall's character in me. I thank all of them for helping me bring him to life. Ok, now who am I performing with this week. Can't wait to play.

As usual, any of you out there interested in seeing the show. With me performing in it. Please contact the theatre. Their website: http://www.13thstreetrep.org/ their phone # 212 675-6677.

That's right, at approximately 9:30pm tonight on June 26th, 2009, I will be a donning a new uniform.

After eight years of performing ARNALL in Israel Horovitz's classic 'Line', I have been entrusted with bringing life to another one of his great creations… Fleming!

So beginning at tonights performance, Fleming's life is in my hands. After all, fairs fair.

Of note, this doesn't mean that I might be wearing Arnall's shoes again.

Please contact the Rep to confirm performance schedules.

8th years and counting…In the 'Line' &, by the way... 'Line' is now also celebrating it's 35th!!!

Now in my eighth year as Arnall… in Israel Horovitz's classic play, 'Line'

Believe it not, but it's true. Eight years. Getting the chance to play the same character over 500 times, it's pretty amazing to think about. I've had a blast getting the chance of playing with Arnall's shoes . 

In early 2001, I stepped onto the stages of The Thirteenth Street Repertory Company and began my long an association as Arnall, and 8 years later I still get a kick out of performing, acting, entertaining and simply 'being' Arnall.  A truely fascinating and fun character to play with.  

Amazing how time flies when you are having fun...

Oh, and yes that right, 'LINE' is celebrating it's 35th Anniversary performing at The rep. Simply amazing!

Meeting a "legend"…simply fantastic!!!

Happy holidays.

I think I just received my gift from Santa Claus…

On December 20th, 2008; I has the great good fortune to me meet a legend of the New York City, entertainment community. I am referring to of course, Mister Joe Franklin .

Mr. Franklin was sitting in the audience during last Saturday’s performance of ‘Line’ and was very gracious to greet me and my fellow Liners’ after the show. For me, it brought back the many happy hours I stayed up late to watch his classic talkshow growing up. Seeing all the talents from the golden age of stage, screen & television. Helping to forge my dreams and aspirations

Pretty cool, huh? Wonder what ‘hanukkah Harry’ has in store…

Just thought you’d might me interested.

Happy, "A Christmas Carol" to all, and to all a good 'Chanukah'

Here the poster design for this year’s production of The Thirteenth Street Rep’s Annual A Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Hope you like.

Its Graphics time...again

Here's my latest theatrical design for The Thirteenth Street Repertory Company. Hope you enjoy.

A Human Shield, written by Robert L. Kinast.
The play opened on October 3rd, 2008 and runs till November 2nd, 2008

Here's a blurb about the production:
It’s New Year's Eve 2010. As the Grant family comes together to celebrate, the United States is on the verge of war. Ongoing political differences escalate when Dad and twin daughters each share life-changing news. Nothing could have prepared this politically-charged family for what was to follow.

If you are interested in seeing it, contact the theatre directly@ 212 675-6677
