FACES by David Boudreau

Currently going on at the Center Stage Gallery in Burbank is Faces, the first solo exhibition by my cubemate David Boudreau. It features his best celebrity/fictional character caricatures from the past three years. Last week on Friday, September 20, was the opening reception for the show, with David’s friends, fans, and co-workers in attendance. A successful turnout that was very well-deserved, considering David’s talent, and how hard he has worked… Read More »FACES by David Boudreau

Dynamic Nudes with Contortionists

Every third Thursday of the month, a late night drawing event called Sketch Theatre is held at Gnomon. Last month’s theme was “Dynamic Nudes with Contortionists,” featuring real contortionists. These are my favorite pages from that night:

Belly Dancer

My friend April Connors has her own private space within Keystone Fine Art Studios in Glendale, where she works as a figure painting and drawing instructor. Every Wednesday night from 7 – 10 PM, she hosts these figure drawing workshops, where the model dresses according to the theme of the evening. I attended her workshop for the first time last week, which was themed “Belly Dancer” and featured Gallery Girls… Read More »Belly Dancer

Sugar Plum Fairy and a shout-out to Leen Isabel

The last drawing event of 2012 at Gallery Godo was on Friday, December 7. The theme was “Sugar Plum Fairy,” with Gallery Girls models Jennifer Patton and Olivia Lopez posing for the night, all done up and donning shimmering fairy costumes. Their makeup artist was present as well, curious to see how people were depicting her handiwork. Among the artists that night were select members of Girls Drawin’ Girls, including… Read More »Sugar Plum Fairy and a shout-out to Leen Isabel

Classic Pin-Ups: Gallery Godo’s final late night drawing event

“Classic Pin-Ups” was the theme at Gallery Godo last Friday night, where I was hit with some bad news, and then good. Bad news: from what I overheard Gallery Girls model Jennifer Patton telling my friend Pierre Bernard, it was Gallery Godo’s final late night drawing event, as the gallery was closing its doors indefinitely. Good news: the late night drawing events will now be held at the Animation Guild,… Read More »Classic Pin-Ups: Gallery Godo’s final late night drawing event

Recap of The Weekend Pilots Live at Titmouse Inc.

I was informed via mass Facebook invite of The Weekend Pilots Live at Titmouse Inc., which was to take place on the night of Wednesday, December 12, 2012, or 12/12/12, the final day that three numbers will align until the next century. Discouraged by the ticket price and my lack of knowledge on the Weekend Pilots, I headed over to the band’s website to see what all the hubbub was… Read More »Recap of The Weekend Pilots Live at Titmouse Inc.

Video: Seth MacFarlane singing “Luck Be a Lady”

Seth MacFarlane’s birthday is coming up this Friday, so I thought I’d take a moment to share a video I captured of him one year ago today at his house in Beverly Hills. The occasion: a “Guys and Dolls”-themed birthday extravaganza with a celebrity guest list that included Aziz Ansari, Mel Gibson, Jonah Hill, and Topher Grace. It was a night made unforgettable by the pitch-perfect sound of Seth’s voice… Read More »Video: Seth MacFarlane singing “Luck Be a Lady”

Oootopia: An Artgebraic Tribute to Adventure Time and Hansel & Gretel

I have a confession to make: I’m not a fan of “Adventure Time.” Yes, you read that right. The show doesn’t do anything for me. Oh, I can watch it, alright – seen a couple of episodes, had a few laughs. I’m just not excited enough about it to merit falling out of my chair in anticipation of the newest episode, or forking out 27 bucks for the DVD set.… Read More »Oootopia: An Artgebraic Tribute to Adventure Time and Hansel & Gretel
