Havard is artist-in-residence at the Hyannis Harbor Arts Center on Cape Cod. Read about his and Foster's exhibit. We asked Havard to share a couple of his colorful pieces, and tell us a little about them. The captions on the gallery below are his.
"They are all done with Pantone inks on paper — the 'Shug Avery' is a print," Havard told Playbill.com. "They are all 11-by-14-inches. I love working with the inks because not only are the colors so varied and vibrant but they are easy to control. I often have so many details hidden inside the images It needs to be precise. Other than ink I love painting large murals with acrylic. I'm also known for hand painted furniture and clothes in which I use permanent fabric paints."
Here's a look at a few of Havard's pieces in the show:

"Shug" was inspired by Elisabeth Withers in the original company of The Color Purple. I had the pleasure of dressing Ms. Withers during her run in the show.
"DeltaMeers" was created after I had already made an original drawing featuring original "Mrs. Meers," Harriet Harris. When Delta Burke stepped into the role, I recreated the piece for her.
The Max Martin musical features a number of his most beloved songs, including “…Baby One More Time,” “Roar,” “Since U Been Gone,” “It’s My Life,” “I Want It That Way,” “Can’t Stop the Feeling!,” and more.
