Late-night drawing salon
My friend Justin Thompson sent me to this cabaret-themed drawing salon put on by the Gallery Girls. First time I’d been. I’d been working really hard all week, finishing up the first draft of Fathom, and it was a fun change of pace to decompress by spending an evening drawing people in crazy costumes with live music and a bar.
A lot of the artists there were pros and some had pretty mad skills. The guy sitting next to me, Joey Mason, amazed me with his dead-on caricatures that in a few lines somehow managed to look “more like” the model than the classic/academic, accurately shaded drawings other artists were doing (which amazed me too).

Nice.
Looks like these artists specialized in capturing that 1940′s Dick Tracy sort of atmosphere. It’s always a pleasure to see stuff like that. Where was the salon located?
Wow! Hey Jordan. my wife came across this searching for info about the drawing salon. Thanks for the mention!
And , again, nice sketches! Dig the color choices on the bottom left most. (and being able to get down that song is a nice touch) Next one’s this Friday!
