Poster illustration for a musical called The Wild Party based on an epic, book-length poem written by Joseph Moncure March in 1928. The poem was widely banned for being too risqué.

I enjoy doing Film Noirish studies. This one was also inspired by Tamara de Lempicka’s Marjorie Ferry portrait, so it ended up being kind of a combination of Film Noir and Art Deco.
