A New Illustration for Quiet Desperation: Season Two

     After months of waiting, Quiet Desperation has returned with the first new episode since it was removed from network TV earlier this year over censorship disputes (to fully understand what was going on with the TV  station's politics and why the decision was made to pull the show, read the Quiet-D press release).
     Moving forward, show creator Rob Potylo has been busy compiling and editing material for a new set of shows, and getting ready to return the show to TV on a bigger Network. The first installment was unveiled on Monday November 21, 2011. It has Rob as the central character once again, trying to stay afloat and survive in Boston's tough music scene. As was before, many Boston area comedians, actors and musicians comprise the supporting cast.
     I truly believe Quiet-D is an important showcase for the diverse talent that resides in the area and deserves to be enjoyed, commended and appreciated. It really is a needed kick in the pants to the Arts scene as a whole.
     In celebration of Quiet-D rising again like a phoenix, I show here a new illustration I did of cast members: Rob Potylo, Joe Wong, Tony Moschetto, Chris Fleming, Frank O'Neill, Tom Dustin, Marnie Hall, Kevin Harrington, Nick D'Amico, Niki Luparelli and Chris Coxen.
