Over The Past Week I've Been Really Feeling An Aladdin Musical Resurgence. I Took A Break For A While

The Aladdin Wall!

Featuring: my college graduation cap I made, BOK character design prints by Gregg Barnes, OBC signed playbill, OBC cast and crew insert from the original souvenir book, and (possibly my favorite of the bunch) the opening night illustration by the amazing Squigs Robertson.

The four art prints were all bought from the Broadway Flea Market, but two separate years (BOK prints bought in 2021, Squigs print in 2022).

Aladdin doodle requests

if you're an aladdin enjoyer like i am, please send me some doodle ideas! aladdin broadway preferably, but if you want me to draw something from the movie maybe i will.

i've been drawing aladdin musical stuff so long i have like no ideas left, but i love the characters and story so

characters/characters interacting/settings/scenes/objects/whatever you want i literally just want to draw some aladdin stuff

"Couldn't we just send a strongly worded letter?"

Illustration of the beginning of High Adventure from Aladdin Broadway featuring Babkak, Omar, and Kassim (my faves). This was something I drew earlier this year as a birthday gift for Brad Weinstock the actor who currently plays Omar :))

The buildings in Agrabah are so much fun to draw, I love em.

Tell me any BOAK related hcs that you have on the mind. Like any at all. I’ve been trying to think of a hc but I’ve honestly forgotten half of my hcs for this show djdndndndndnd

woo ok so here are a few just off the top of the dome:

Kassim made all the necklaces for the group. Based on the fact that Brandon O'Neill made all of them for the original show.

Babkak and Omar are really close. Babkak's a good companion for when Omar gets overly anxious or overwhelmed. He's super laid back so he balances out Omar's anxiety.

Omar is in charge of cutting everyone's hair when they get too shaggy.

Kassim calls Babkak "Babs" when he's really drunk, which Babkak finds amusing.

Babkak gives really good hugs (soft).

They're all queer. I see Babkak as aroace, Omar as gay, Kassim as bi, and Al as bi with mostly a preference for women. (sometimes it can fluctuate based on the actors in Aladdin's case). I see Agrabah as a (mostly) accepting fantasy world, so you can be out and not have to worry, save for maybe the guards.

Kassim actually really likes stealing. He likes the thrill. He's also the one who comes up with most of their schemes.

Babkak is in charge of mending their clothes and patching them up if the others get hurt.

Aladdin is surprisingly solitary. He loves his friends, but he spends a lot of time alone. His favorite spots to just chill by himself are on top of buildings.

Omar's estranged father is a member of the guards. He avoids the guards at ALL COSTS because of this.

Babkak spends half of the time zoning out/thinking about other things and just chilling, which is why he is always snapping out of it and yelling food names out. Relaxed king.

Kassim is the leader of their quartet, but others tease him saying "no Aladdin's the leader" just to make him angry.

Babkak and Kassim founded their group, adding Aladdin later and Omar last. They all met when they were kids.

Even though Kassim and Babkak make little pointed remarks at each other in the show, it's not because they dislike each other. It's actually because they're really close friends and that's how they communicate. I feel like they have a lot of inside jokes.

I have loads more, these are just the ones I could type up now! I can type up more if you wanted more specific stuff :))

even the requester’s url is disturbing!!!!

so true anon. their bio is craaazy i couldn't tell if they were a troll or just disturbed (in reference to the jafar ask)

BOK silkscreen prints. They are each 6x8 inches in size. Done for the current Broadway cast back in Feb 2022.

Made these in my college silkscreen class and my teacher straight up jumpscared me and asked "who's Kassim" when I was printing and so I explained he's from Aladdin. Tell me why this man then said "mmm, looks like Aladdin in leather"

A look inside my Aladdin Broadway display case. I've got a lot of memorabilia I've collected over the years. Some of my favorites include:

the original souvenir program (2nd photo)

a copy of the script (3rd photo)

bread prop (3rd photo)

the heart-shaped box of baklava prop (4th photo)

More info is in the image descriptions. Feel free to ask me questions about items in my collection if you'd like to know more about them!

more spamalot art since i've had the soundtrack stuck in my head nonstop after seeing it last sunday.

was such a delight getting to see these two fall in love onstage! i adore them, definitely the highlight of the show for me

another aladdin sketchbook doodle. this one is from right before high adventure starts where Omar is convincing Kassim that they need to save Al

i've got a little bit more time on my hands lately so I'm trying to do more sketchbook stuff, and drawing these guys is always fun. I've drawn them so long it comes naturally at this point

i love the meme fish so here's an illustration i did of it. the best part about being an artist is getting to draw whatever the fuck i want, especially when it's dumb

gentle creature whom i love so dearly
