James McMullan's art work is being celebrated at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts through June 11th. For years, this New York artists work has graced the city's bus shelters, subways, buses, and magazines, advertising the newest play at the Lincoln Center Theater. His process often involves reading the play script, discussing with the director, coming up with a metaphor and gesture between characters, followed by a lot of gesture sketching and hand lettering. His work exudes a beautiful dream like quality. Be sure to take a chic peek at www.nypl.org/lpa and http://jamesmcmullan.com/
