Sketches from First FBOH Drink and Draw

2010-06-04T12:08:00.002-05:00

Here is a small sampling of sketches from our first Full Body of Horror Drink and Draw that was held last Friday at Lucky Number Grill. We introduced our main character, Pyre, as embodied by the lovely, Natalie Slater, of Bake and Destroy. Our artists included:

• Dave Dorman, who will be releasing and 318 page book on his illustration career so far at the San Diego Comic-Con where he will be a Special Guest for the third time.
• J Anthony Kosar of KOSARTeffects is an award-winning illustrator who also put some time in at Stan Winston Studio (now Legacy Effects) helping build the A.M.P. suit for the movie, Avatar.
• Steve Bialer brought his iPad for some digital doodling. Steve is an art director and has produced the Chicago Tribune Sunday magazine and a tribute book to the Cubs, among many others.
• Charlie Athanas is the graphics guy for WildClaw Theatre.

We'll be doing this again in August with more guest artists and great horror models, so bring your sketchbooks and join us.

FBOH First Drink and Draw

2010-05-30T21:51:00.000-05:00

We had our first Drink and Draw launch event on May 28th at Lucky Number Grill. We would like to thank our fearless models:
Natalie Slater as Pyre;
Nora O'Sullivan as The Zombie;
Sophia Rapata as Skeleton Girl;
Michelle Torres as The Vampire;
and WildClaw Theatre's Brian Amidei as Frankenstein's Monster.

We introduced our main hero character, Pyre, as embodied by Natalie Slater of Bake and Destroy (see left).

We would also like to thank our featured artists, Dave Dorman and J Anthony Kosar. A special tip of the hat to J Anthony for his amazing makeup work on Sophia, Michelle and Brian.

We learned a lot on this one and since we are going to do these Drink and Draws on a regular basis, you can look forward to the best of this one and improvements and special touches to come. Stay tuned here as we make more announcements.

A big thank you to the staff at Lucky Number Grill for helping to make the event run smoothly. And, if you noticed a familiar face as you came in that's because WildClaw Theatre's Artistic Director, Charley Sherman, was gracious enough to man the door for us.

See you next month at Lucky Number Grill for a night with Cult Fiction on June 25th!
