Today Daniel Nardicio, the New York/ Fire Island Producer, releases images created by illustrator Glen Hanson exclusively for Nardicio's 2013 Icon Series on Fire Island. The Icon Series, features performers such as three-time Tony Winner, one-time Golden Globe Winner and Oscar Nominee Carol Channing paired with queer icon Justin VivIan Bond, cult filmmaker John Waters, singer and Wonder Woman icon Lynda Carter, three-time Tony winner Broadway actress Chita Rivera, raconteur and Oscar Award Show-writer Bruce Vilanch, amongst others. Scroll down for a look at the caricatures!
The 2013 Series, which goes into full-swing July 6th on Fire Island with a solo show by comedy legend Bruce Vilanch, created much buzz last year when Nardicio paired actor Alan Cumming with his longtime friend Liza Minnelli. About the one-night show, Broadwayworld.com wrote: " Nardicio made gay history." Nardicio moved the show to Town Hall for a two-night sold out run in March 2013.
Glen Hanson's illustrations have appeared in a variety of publications around the world including British Vogue and GQ, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Maxim, Variety and D.C. Comics as well as book covers for Random House, Kensington, Harlequin, and most recently, the popular "Goddess Girls" series for Simon & Schuster.
"Glen Hanson is the perfect artist to illustrate this year's Icon Series," said Nardicio. "His style evokes the glamour of Hollywood and Broadway with a new, modern twist." The quirky caricatures depict each star in the series. "I think of Hanson's style as iconic; these would look perfect hanging in Sardi's," according to Nardicio.
The Limited Edition posters will only be available in Cherry Grove, Fire Island.
