None but the brave can eat the fare

It’s the turn of the 20th century.
Industry is boomin’
The cash is a flowin’
And formaldehyde, borax and salicylic acid are keeping our food fresh
…and our guts sick.

But one man and his squad of steel stomached subjects are willing to pay the ultimate price for food freedom.

From the 2022 Outpatient Collective comes a new musical based on historical events.

I include this show in my portfolio not because it was my best work, but because it shows how much I have improved in such a short time. From my “drafting” to my construction methods and my painting, it is easy to see a vast and quick improvement in skills and techniques in even just a year from this point onward.
