I was filing artwork tonight and ran across these character sketches for my recently out-in-paperback graphic novel, “Fogtown”. I’ll be posting more in the next few days.

That’s a link to Bent Con 2, the second annual gay comic book convention that will be held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, CA, on December 3 and 4, 2011.

That’s a link to the Faultline, a gay bear/leather/sm type of bar across Melrose Avenue from LA City College in Los Angeles, California. Next Sunday afternoon, during their weekly 2PM – 9PM “Classic Beer Bust”, they will closing off the parking lot and staging a fundraiser for Bent-Con 2. Part of the festivities will be a silent auction. I am donating 3 pieces of original artwork. This is your chance to acquire a Brad Rader/Flaming Artist original, quite possibly for a ridiculously low price, and help support an excellent cause.
Be there or be straight!

This is another Picasso-esque drawing.
I worked as a security guard at the Norman Simon Museum of Art, in Pasadena California (USA) for 2 years in the late 70’s and early 80’s. They had a huge selection of Picasso drawings from his post-cubist period. I really liked them for their simplicity and eroticism. Unfortunately, that sort of simplicity and abstraction seems to be beyond me.

This drawing reminds me of Picasso, sort of. It’s not as simple as his illustrations for Lysistrata, but it’s sort of along those lines.

Today’s sketch, and the next few drawings, are from 2005. But you’ve never seen them, so they’re new.
