Illustrations for the film Last Dance
In 1994, I was hired by director Bruce Beresford to create artwork for the Touchstone film Last Dance starring Sharon Stone, Rob Morrow, and Randy Quaid. I created the artwork that was represented in the film as drawn by Sharon Stone's character, Cindy Liggett. A few of the pieces had close-ups in the film, while most were taped up to Cindy's cell wall to show that she was taking an art correspondence course while in prison. For this project, I had to adopt a "Cindy style" to create art that reflected her character and level of talent.
I met Ms. Stone, sitting with her for a short time one afternoon, to talk about the style of the artwork. I also met Rob Morrow, actually going to his hotel room where he posed for the caricature I drew. All of the almost 175 pieces of art created for the film became the property of the film production company. I managed to retain one copy of the Taj Mahal drawing and one of the caricature of Rob Morrow. Other pieces, done in pencil, watercolor and pastel, can be seen in the newspaper article and in the memorabilia collage.
