Title: The Songwriter Round When: Tuesday, September 15, 2026 · 8pm Where: The Foghorn, Dogpatch Lineup / highlights: Four writers, one stage, songs in turn Admission: $8 · All ages ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied event in Big Eyes / Keane Waif style. Visual vocabulary: enormous liquid eyes occupying a third or more of the face; soft blended painting — no hard outlines, edges dissolve into background; solitary child or animal subject, frontally posed, meeting the viewer's gaze; plain or loosely atmospheric background — dark tones, simple colour wash; slight shimmer or moisture in the eyes — a single highlight point.

Composition: close-cropped figure against plain background; eyes in the upper half of the composition. Atmosphere: sentimental, melancholy, vulnerable, kitsch sincerity, 1960s American. Keep out of the design: hard cartoon outlines, flat vector illustration, multiple figures competing for attention, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied event; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A lone child with enormous glistening eyes clutching a guitar taller than herself. These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text.
