Event: Bakshi Party Pictures

If you weren't there, you missed an amazing party last Saturday night. Ralph Bakshi was in town and all his old friends came out to see him.


Before the party started, Ralph visited with the guys who put together his recent book, Unfiltered... Chris McDonnell and Jon Gibson.

It wasn't really a signing party, but Ralph still made sure everyone who wanted a signature got one.

Ralph greets animator, Steve Gordon with Barry Jackson and Trish Docktor.

It looks like it was a lot of fun. I only wish I could have been there. Oh well, that's life I guess.
Where's a picture of YOU and Ralph!? That's the problem with being the guy who's kind enough to bring a camera...he never gets in the pictures himself!
It was terrific seeing Ralph again. I'm really happy for him. A book about him was way overdue. He's one of the best cartoonists alive and his influence on the industry has been immense. Kudos to authors Chris McD and John Gibson for a great job!
Hey Steve...video is up at Vimeo!

Wow. He's a lefty.
I love the one with Tom Minton and Eddie Fitzgerald! Pinky and the Brain meet Ralph Bakshi! Awesome pic!
While we've spoken on the phone many times over the years, I hadn't actually seen Ralph since 1990 at one of Jim Reardon's mammoth parties in Burbank. Saturday's event was indeed a fun night. Thanks to Chris and Jon for writing their long-overdue book. Now watch these pictures end up on eBay.
