Here's another piece from CCAC (1981-'85). I believe it was drawn in Carole Peel's portraiture class.


Pleasanton Parks and Rec had an ongoing figure workshop for years. This drawing is from the early to mid 90's.


Another from Pleasanton Parks and Rec figure workshop in the '90's.


Catherine D'Lish is a wonderful artist, performer, and beauty of burlesque. She personally provided photographic inspiration for this piece.
It was originally shown at a High School dance with a Moulin Rouge theme in 2003.


I hope to see you there!

First Friday Follies.

In the '80's Big Al would go to comedy clubs and draw caricatures of the comedians while they performed. Drawing burlesque, variety performers and musicians is an extension of that.

Here's a link to the "Girls from Outer SPACE" First Friday Follies set on fLickr.

The host was the fabulous Juicy D. Light - Founder and Artistic Director of Rubenesque Burlesque and new producer of First Friday Follies.
