Dig these ink washed drawings from Jay Sacher that are two of six in GFTG!4. Look at Jay’s Cowboy Campfire drawing blog, Golden Circle Story Time comics blog, and his The Long Goodbye inspired drawing dump.
Check out this sprinkling of sketchbook drawings above that are from the larger load contributed by Grant Reynolds to GFTG!4.
Here is a shot of some super cartoonists drawing on pages from Sasquatch’s Big Hairy Drawing Book along with a shot of their drawings. Robertryan Cory put this special drawing squad together with some pages and sent me these shots of the action recently. At the table were Pen Ward, Rex Hackleberg, Phil Rynda, Vincent Waller, and Kent Osborne, and it looks like a lady with painted red nails. Thank you lady and gentlemen! I wish I was at the table too having an Arnold Palmer and an egg sandwich.
Hey so now there are seven more days to get that SASQUATCH coupon code deal to buy Sasquatch’s Big Hairy Drawing Book directly from Chronicle Books, which I am postulating gives them the most money out of any retail sale and in turn makes them say “hey Chris, let’s do a series of these books, by the way, you are our hero”. So that’s my guess as to what will happen. Oh yes, and it would be a good deal for you too, if you wanted the book at some point in the future. Don’t forget that the future is now, or was a little while ago. Nick Gazin interviewed me last week over at Vice about both Sasquatch and GO FOR THE GOLD! 4, so there is that too.
That coupon code, SASQUATCH, works just on the Chronicle Books site until September 30th, and just for USA orders. It gets you 20% off and free shipping. Off your whole order. Also the book is now available from many retailers online or off, and most bookstores can special order it for you on your request if they don’t have it.
Look at these two of thirteen pages of sketchbook drawings that Gary Leib sent over for inclusion in GO FOR THE GOLD! 4 and also look here at his website to see his animation, paintings and comics.

Look at Thomas Hunter’s cartoons and comics bits on his blog, Mr. Buffalo.
At the PACC I talked with Jess Worby and he mentioned he had an upcoming show in Philly with drawings of kachinas, Mummers, and and the Philly Phanatic and I thought that sounded just right to me. So here is the information for local types to check it out: “Monsters, Mummers & Mascots” by Jess Worby showing from October 5th through the 31st at Infusion Coffee & Tea Gallery, 7133 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA.
Sam Heimer is a Philly-based artist who just can’t shake the darkness. He updates his website on the regular, and don’t forget to dig inside his crazy brains by visiting his “Bottom of the Inkwell” blog.

On Monday, September 19, I will have a shirt released on the RIPT Apparel website. The shirt is a tribute to one of my favorite movies “Rushmore”. You can visit the site by CLICKING HERE. Rushmore is a great “Back to School” movie, and one of Bill Murray’s best performances. If you haven’t seen it, you ought to check it out.
Ron Regé, Jr. has been working on a new creation, The Cartoon Utopia since 2008 and it is slated to be published by Fantagraphics in 2012. In this post Ron collects links to samples of the book that he has previously leaked out into the world for your visual vibration stimulation. Ron is seeking donations to help fund his completion of the book and has various things he will send to you in the mail in return, including small custom drawings. More Ron comics are on What Things Do to check out.
