Doug Will Again Support the Saturday, May 18th Charity Auction in Dallas

Doug will again donate original art to the Dallas Comic Con charity auction to support the Wounded Warrior Project.

 

The Live Art & Auction event will be held Saturday evening, May 18 at the Double Tree Hotel (DFW Airport) starting a 8 p.m.

 

In addition to donating original artwork to last year's auction, Doug also participated in the live-art portion of the evening (see photos from 2012); he will do so again this year.

 

At last year's event, according to artist/auction coordinator Robert Luedke, over $11,000 was raised to support the needs of injured service members.

 

Stop by for an entertaining evening and support a worthwhile cause - see you there!

If Dallas Comic Con attendees don't already have a copy of Doug's 248-page book, featuring 270 of his 450+ Playboy cartoons, they can buy it during the 3-day convention from Area 51 Gaming and Collectibles (Grapevine, TX). 

 

Doug will be happy to sign books for free so bring copies from home or buy books at the Area 51 Gaming and Collectibles booth.

Doug Sketches Audrey at MegaCon/Offers Portrait Sketches in Dallas May 17-19

Doug's commissioned portrait sketches - either 9 x 12, 10 x 14 or 11 x 17 - are always popular at comics-cartoon conventions; if attending the Dallas Comic Con this weekend, stop by his booth for a visit and ask about having one done during the 3-day event.

While sketching Audrey at MegaCon in Orlando, Doug learned she was a senior attending art school in Sarasota, Florida.

Later, I visited Audrey and fellow classmates at the Ringling College of Art and Design booth;  the private, not-for-profit, fully accredited college (as of 2010) had a student population of approximately 1,300 from 46 states and 46 countries.

Audrey's artwork was featured on one of three vertical banners used to promote the college during MegaCon, March 15-17 in Orlando, FL.

Original Artwork: Blond in Surf

Doug's 11 x 17 watercolor original, Blond in Surf, was rendered on Arches of France 100% cotton, acid-free art board using Dr. Ph. Martin's aniline dyes.

To see more of his artwork, visit his CAF Premium Gallery or check Upcoming Events on the blog for his next comics-cartoon convention appearances.

In addition to doing commissioned portrait sketches at conventions, Doug also sells original artwork, limited edition prints, sketchbooks and personalized copies of Unpublished Sneyd, which features his 100 favorite Playboy gag rough rejects.  

Doug explains, "In the years since my first color full-page cartoon (September 1964) was published in Playboy, I've submitted thousands of cartoon gag roughs.  Of course, not all can be selected for final art and ultimate publication in the magazine.  So, it seemed only fitting to share some of my favorite unpublished gag roughs with readers who enjoy Playboy's distinctive brand of humor."
