Norn, it's fantastic!

LOVE.
That's brilliant.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I didn't see this thread before starting a new one. (NOT. SORRY. AT. ALL.)
Just wanted to bump the original so more people would be able to see the comments.
Norn, this really is an entirely new level of illustration from what we've seen before. I'd like to hear more about your creative process on this, if you'd like to share.

Hey Norn
Congrats. Love what you did with Gypsy & of course my favorite "Company" ..from last season 
So when are you going to do "Xanadu"?

Norn, I can't tell you enough. You are amazing with a unique talent that amazes me.
As a performer, I was upset that I could never strive, dream or hope to be drawn by Hirschfeld since he is gone
I strive to be LUCKY enough to be interpreted by you.
Your art is the future of Broadway commentary/charicature, artistic interpretation.
Keep it up my man. Your work amazes me.
(I met you at the Off Broadway CD signing of Grey Gardens. You were so nice in person. Hope to see you around town)

Michael Cerveris has been de-throned for your drawing of Caroline.
