Some while back, I had the pleasure of inflicting my Proustian-style interview

upon my first Guest Artist, Charles Batte (see Sept. 28, 2008). You may've seen his haunting Hallowe'en characters on his site, ChasBatteStudio.com. Now, he's once again producing his Ballet Rabbits, wee performers nonpareil. Meet the Prince Valentine:

See some of Charles' earlier theatrical Rabbits on his "Other Days" page, as well as the Frog Prince, the Widow Muffet and... well, you'll have to go see.

Now, back to work for me, on Baba Yaga, Vasilisa and her Doll, a Blue Angel, a small Faun, and... More here quite soon!
