Sketchbook: ArtHop Birthday Bash

Posted on July 11, 2009 by Phil Fountain

Thanks to Win-River Casino for allowing me to borrow their MacBook Pro in order to do some on-site sketches at ArtHop’s First Birthday Bash Saturday in Library Park. Also contributing to the set-up at anewscafe.com‘s booth was Alan of Alan Phillips Productions, who hooked up an additional monitor so folks could watch the sketches happen on the spot.

We had a blast, ate some cupcakes and spent time with our favorite people in the universe, ArtHoppers (who are also anewscafe.com readers)

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
