PICTURE THIS AT FEDERAL BAR FUNDRAISER RECAP!

Perhaps you've heard that every 

Tuesday and Thursday morning,

bright and early,

I swim laps at our local

YMCA.

So when they asked me to help 

out for a fundraiser I was all like,

BLURBLE BLUGGA BLUB BLUB!

Then I got out of the water and said,

"Heck, yeah!"

The event was at the Federal Bar in

North Hollywood,

which has an awesome upstairs party space.

And what were they using that space for?

Picture This! is a live comedy show with stand-ups, voice actors 

and more performing while they are drawn live 

by some of the best animators, cartoonists, 

and other artists in the biz! The comedians don’t know what 

the animators are drawing and the animators don’t know how the comedians will react.

It may be weird.

It may different.

But it will be FUNNY!

We got a great crowd:

And a great line-up!

I was lucky to be teamed with

Grant Lyon

who is really funny 

and a really nice guy!

I met some awesome artists like

Jenny D Fine

Ashlynn Anstee

and 

Kati Prescott.

Here they are warming up.

Mike Mayfield 

was

KILLING IT

on the Wacom tablet,

drawing really funny stuff on the fly while

Brandie Posey

was on stage making the audience laugh.

Jenni D Fine 

was on point with her drawing,

totally making

Melissa Stephens'

already hilarious routine

at least 573% hilariouser!

Katie Prescott was drawing for her sister Julia

and both had the crowd howling.

(Their Mom Suzanne works at Disney and rocks pretty hard)

And 

Mike Hollingsworth 

ALWAYS

makes me laugh.

So you know he was gonna make the 

audience crack up when he

went to bat.

Here he is in action:

Mr. Lyon and I waited patiently for our turn...

And then it was time for us to go on.

I think we did okay

for a coupla rookies.

I would have preferred a Cintiq over a Wacom,

but ya get what ya get and ya don't get upset,

amiright?

Such a fun night!

Get on out to a 

Picture This

event 

if you can!

IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE YMCA FUNDRAISER

Hey.

Whatcha doin' this Saturday night?

Wanna see some comedy?

Wanna see some drawing?

Wanna help raise some money?

Then come on out here:

I'll be drawing to the comedy stylings of

Grant Lyon!

HOORAY!

A DRAWING FOR THE FSA FUNDRAISER

Somewhere,

deep within the bowels of

Cartoon Network Studios 

lurks the mighty

Director of Operations

Zita Lefebvre.

She's the one who keeps the place running 

but she also keeps CN

sooper involved in the community.

Case in point,

her work with the

Family Service Agency of Burbank.

They've got a great

Art Therapy Program:

And they're having a silent auction 

at their annual fundraiser

so Zita asked a bunch of 

SOOEPR TALENTED ARTISTS

to donate drawings.

She asked me, too!

So I hit the Cintiq and got to work.

It started like this:

Then it went here:

Then kinda like this:

I made a slightly cleaner version:

And then used that as a guide to 

go analogue

with some colored pencils:

Let's hope it makes the

Family Service Agency of Burbank

eleventy thousand dollars!
