On tap this week is Jake Wood, scenic artist and properties manager for Purdue University Theatre.  Jake talks about getting into scenic work, some of the challenges of painting for theatre as part of a technical team, and presenting theatre in a university system.

Jake offered several interesting Look-Ups, including his own photographic novel-ish serials - http://www.jakesbookcovers.com; his photo documentary work - http://jwood718.tumblr.com/tagged/our-shots; Joss Whedon’s “Firefly” series; and “1491,” a book by James Mann addressing native American history before and after Columbus, or the arrival of Europeans - https://www.amazon.com/1491-Revelations-Americas-Before-Columbus/dp/1400032059.
