I prefer it to DVD because it has excellent step forward and reverse with the toggle knob on the remote. My DVD player has okay frame forward but poor frame reverse, so it's difficult hitting the perfect frames. This is the first time I've sketched Mr B.

I did the drawing from memory, and later checked to see how close I got. I don't own the book it was published in, so I can't share it with you. I did the drawings at a CAPS meeting. Tom  Riggin, a fellow "Bob's Burgers" storyboard artist, owns the book with the relevant Spirit section.

It's also where you can go to commune with the Vagina Goddess, as seen in my graphic novel, "Harry & Dickless Tom".

In fact, I drew this in San Francisco, at the Best Western Hotel, on Market and Mission, on the afternoon of the day I visited MOMA.

It was supposed to be a pastiche of a 30's Sci Fi pulp cover. I was supposed to fully paint it. However, it would have taken me a couple months (if I was lucky) and Paul wanted it in January. So I gave him this drawing and he handed it to Tony Fleecs, the designer of my recent book "The Art of Rader" to paint and http://blog.raderofthelostart.com/2012/03/planet-bizarre.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brad Rader)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748886042521673484.post-7064303403573660938Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:30:00 +00002012-03-10T18:30:01.066-08:00Peter ArnoFred AstairThis drawing is done on the watercolor paper, only using Prismacolor and Tombo brush pen. It is a drawing of Fred Astair. I think it is a good likeness, but I don't think the Prismacolor flesh tone is successful. I like the simplicity; it's almost like Peter Arno, but not as abstract, and the lines are too thin. Actually, the drawing isn't simple enough.http://blog.raderofthelostart.com/2012/03/fred-astair.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brad Rader)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748886042521673484.post-7836821612803197678Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:27:00 +00002012-03-09T18:27:00.719-08:00BalletArt DecoThis is another charcoal drawing in my hand-made watercolor paper sketchbook.

I set it aside for later. Later came on a November '11 visit to the San Francisco MOMA museum. Therein was an exhibit of Richard Serra drawings. I'm a fan of Mr. Serra's monolithic sculptures, was unaware of his "drawings", many of which took up entire museum walls. His sketchbooks were inspirational as well.http://blog.raderofthelostart.com/2012/03/cave-painting.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brad Rader)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748886042521673484.post-3612051003273131015Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:02:00 +00002012-03-07T12:02:00.393-08:00Bob's BurgersKevin KlineSeaside Amusement ParksMr FishoederMr. Calvin Fischoeder is the landlord for Bob's Burgers.  Mr. F also owns and runs "Wonder Warf" and most of the rest of the town the Belchers live in.
