The illustrator is not only the make-up man, costume and set designer, but also the writer, director, and principal player, all wrapped into one. He presents tragedies, comedies, parodies, and farce intended to entertain, but also challenge the audience. The stage director decides which plays will be put on, which commissions he accepts, how they are to be interpreted, and which material he’ll develop himself. The acting prowess of the protagonists he draws – their gestures, facial expressions, and language – along with the painted backgrounds and special effects, from blood to theatrical thunder, are aimed at teaching the audience dread, make them marvel, make them laugh. His stages can be found on stamps, between the covers of books, in newspapers, and on records and posters.
