Name: Rob Funderburk  Job: painter and theater poster artist
Station 3 studio.  Q. You really produced 120 different posters
for Affinity Theater?  A. That's right. Each poster has an
original painting fixed to it. With this particular project
[Sartre's "No Exit"], it was a studio production experiment.
They're 9 inches square so I put up 9-inch-square papers on my
wall like a grid. Each square is an independent composition, but
there's a general theme: Three figures wind up in hell; hell is
a Second Empire French drawing room, and these three people have
to exist in eternity in this room. It's a great project.  Q.
