If I were a graphic artist and someone assigned me to do something with the Nutcracker (Suite or otherwise), I would be in design heaven.
Nutcrackers are a wonderful invention. I think they're cool and one of my granddaughters *loves* cracking nuts with them. So I guess it runs in the family.
Thanks for all the wonderful examples. (Also, I'd never heard of Ellington's Jazz Nutcracker, so I'll have to check it out!)
