FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY OF BURBANK AUCTION 2016

Last year I had the distinct honor of 

being one of three featured artists at the 

Family Service Agency of Burbank 

art auction!

And

THIS YEAR...

I won't be there.

I'll be in Mexico City for 

Creativa Fest 2016!

But that doesn't mean I can't drop some

sooper fun artwork

like this:

If you happen to live in the LA area,

definitely try stopping by this event.

There's a ton of great artwork by all

your favorite animation artists

and 

REAL artists, too!

(haw!)

FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY ART AUCTION

Dude...

There's been a 

METRIC POOP TON

of stuff going on lately!

The TVA Disneyland Art Show!

Judging the Riverrun Film Festival!

Hosting the ASIFA EAST Festival Awards!

And now I'm one of three artists being

featured in an 

art show/auction/rooftop dinner at

Cartoon Network

benefitting

HEALING ARTS at FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY

They do good work:

Established in 1953, Family Service Agency of Burbank 

is a non-profit community based organization dedicated to the provision of 

counseling, prevention, education and advocacy 

services to empower children, adults and families 

achieve emotional, psychological and social wellness.

Their art therapy studio is 

especially inspiring.

I'll be showing assorted pieces of art

I've done over the last year or so.

Some big ones...

Some small ones...

Some original art from 

1000 Times No!

And a whole bunch of 

fish:

For the actual auction I drew this bit of

Kids Next Door 

action:

I also tricked 

2015 Caldecott Award Winner

Dan Santat

into donating a 

signed and doodled

copy of

THE ADVENTURES OF BEEKLE:

THE UNIMAGINARY FRIEND

He even did a separate 

BONUS SKETCH:

And 

you know

Mo Willems 

is always good for an 

awesome sketch:

And there are over 100 

other pieces up for auction!

It's gonna be a fun event.

Maybe I'll see you there!

SCORE: ORIGINAL BRUCE TIMM SKETCH!

You know me.

I'm not shy.

I'll go up and ask

ANYONE

to draw me a picture.

But I'm not quite sure why I

never asked this guy:

Uh-huh.

Bruce Timm.

The man that

re-invented 

the sooper hero

cartoon when he created

Batman: The Animated Series.

He made a show that was

ART

instead of just a 

toy commercial

(which was unheard of at the time)

When I came to LA 

to make my first pilot for 

Cartoon Network

I used to see Mr. Timm sitting outside

the building doodling in his sketchbook.

I always wanted to introduce myself

 but I never did.

So I never got a drawing from him.

UNTIL LAST WEEK!

My kids' school had their annual soopergiant 

silent auction

and look what was there:

PERFECT!

AMAZING!

GORGEOUS!

AND

NO

ONE

WAS

BIDDING

ON

IT

!!!!!!

So I got this 

original marker sketch

of

Harley Quinn 

for

NOT

a million dollars...

NOT

$200,000...

But

forty bucks.

$40!

What fools 

these mortals be.

In other news,

if you wanna learn more about

Bruce Timm 

and his work,

this book is

kinda awesome:
