This season, Rollins and the Annie Russell Theater are lucky to exhibit the work of illustrator Larry Moore. Playbooks, posters, and flyers scatter the campus as a testament to Moore's hard work and dedication on the project. Specifically for his work with the theater, Moore recently received a Gold Award of Merit from the Society of Illustrators of New York, a prestigious award going out to astounding artists.
Larry Moore has been working as an illustrator for sixteen years. At age eleven, Moore decided that illustrating was the job he wanted. After about ten years as in graphic design and advertising, Moore began illustrating for many companies. Some major clients include Disney, Pixar, and, in his latest project, Krispy Kreme.
The plays Moore illustrated for this season include Oscar and Felix: A New Look a "The Odd Couple," Extremities, and Twelfth Night, among many others. Moore pulls inspiration for the works by reading the script and creating metaphors to help capture the essence of the play. He considers the thought process involved with illustrating the most interesting, and fun, part of each project. "You just think about it, put it aside for a while, and then the idea pops into your head," Moore comments. "It's as if your sub-conscious is working on it when you are not."
Moore is very humble about his work. He tells the story of the first time one of his illustrations caught his eye in public, and how it amazed him. He used to illustrate the annual T-shirt for the March of Dimes. One day, in an airport in Seattle, he saw a man walking around in one of his T-Shirts. He said the thought to himself, "Hey! I did that!" It was the first time his work really hit him. One day he hopes to do an illustration for the front cover of Rolling Stones. "It would be one dreamy job."
Above anything, Larry Moore's work as an artist is breathtaking. He captures the drama and tragedy of Extremities in one piece beautifully, while turning around and capturing the light-heartedness and humor of Oscar and Felix in another. Moore's talent shines through with each image he illustrates. Rollins College and the Annie Russell Theater are privileged to display such exceptional and remarkable works of art.
