Description
I made these drawings (pencil, pastels, watercolors, red blood pencil, ink, acrylic, digital painting and other experiments with Photoshop) for "Party for/with Ted Neeley" which was held in Cagli January 10, 2015. I had to make a few drawings ... but things just got out of hand! Maybe too much.
I wanted to challenge myself in a kind of a "crossover" between "Jesus Christ Superstar" by Norman Jewison, and the omonymous stage production, edited by Piparo, set up for the 12th of October 2014 event at the Arena di Verona, starring, further than Ted Neeley himself, Yvonne Elliman and Barry Dennen, both main characters also in the movie. There is a bit of the Teatro Sistina too. Only the last two pictures were neither designed, nor processed. The drawings are not 100% movie and stage accurate (I would have never finished), I represented only the scenes that hit me the most, that inspired me the most. My tribute to this magnificent Rock Opera by Rice and Webber, begins in pencil, in B/W: the reality. The Color: music, art, gradually appear when the story begins to be told ...

Enjoy the ... "listening".

"Let the world turn without you tonight.
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight..."
