New Artwork...



My model friend Ifigenia T., a.k.a. "Crowsreign" as KISS's "Starchild". Ifigenia is a Greek beauty with a really bad ass rock and roll attitude and me being a Kiss fan from waaaaay back I thought this was a good combo! If you want to see more of her go here or here to see the stock photo I referenced 2H and HB pencils on 18" x 24" drawing paper.

New Art..Ann Dvorak!



I just finished this last night, a graphite portrait of the great Ann Dvorak. I've had her on my list for a long time and was recently motivated to get this piece done by Christina over at Ann Dvorak: Hollywood's Forgotten Rebel who's been doing a post on Ann every day as part of her "A Year of Ann Dvorak" Blogathon and asked if anyone wanted to contribute. Also recently I watched "The Strange Love of Molly Louvain" one of Ann's few starring vehicles at WB and I really enjoyed the film...couple that with the fact that I watch "Three on a Match" once every 3 or 4 months or so and yeah, time for a picture of Ann! Tech stuff: 2H and HB pencils and a bit of white pastel pencil on 13" x 17" tinted canson paper

BRIGHT LIGHTS!

These just came today...2 vintage Lobby Cards for the 1935 WB production "Bright Lights" starring Joe E Brown, Ann Dvorak and Patricia "Mrs Artman" Ellis!



These are my first ever Joe E and/or Ann Dvorak Lobby cards and to be from my fave Joe E film and feature Mrs Artman in my fave gown she ever wore on screen and that they are such colorful and attractive cards in decent enough condition, I am extremely happy to have these in my grubby hands now!

Ann Dvorak and Glenda Farrell in the house!

In keeping with my love of collecting all things from WB studio during the 30's and 40's here's two vintage 5 x 7 studio promotional cards with faux signatures I nabbed last week...my first solo collectables for either of these lovely ladies! Yay!
