Event: Bakshi Party Pictures

Bakshi at Meltdown
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.

Buy Me At AmazonUNFILTERED: The Complete Ralph Bakshi isn't one of those "art books" with postage stamp sized pictures floating in oceans of tasteful white space and huge text blocks of scholarly blather that crowds out the images. It's just pictures, pictures and more pictures... along with just enough text to put them in context. The book is organized to show Ralph's career from his earliest days at Terry-Toons, to his groundbreaking features, to his revolutionary TV work, to his most recent fine art paintings. Even if you think you know all there is to know about Bakshi, this book will grab you by the lapels and shake you and show you things you've never seen the likes of before. Click through the link to pick up the Bakshi book at Amazon.

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!

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.
