| WHAT'S BEEN UP? Updated
June 17, 2010
The Sketchy Things Store is back! My Cafe Press Store is back up and running, and has a bunch of funny, new items for the special Monster Kid in your life! You can't find this stuff anywhere else! http://www.cafepress.com/sketchythings From "Dr. Neimann's Science Lesson" to "Tante Berthes Cafe (No living mummies allowed!)," there are tee-shirts and mugs and even holiday ornaments available. Check it out! After all, Halloween and the holidays are just around the corner!
Shout! Factory to release The Lost Skeleton Returns Again on DVD! Pre-orders available at Amazon.com NOW! Obey The Skeleton! Pre-order NOW! Hahahaha!! THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS order on Amazon Frank stars in the much-anticipated sequel to 2004's cult comedy THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA. Like the original, this follow-up lovingly spoofs the sci-fi films of the 1950's. Returning are writer-director and star Larry Blamire, Fay Masterson, Brian Howe, Jennifer Blaire, Dan Conroy, Robert DeVeau, Andrew Parks and Susan McConnell. Added to the cast are myself, Kevin Quinn, Daniel Roebuck and veteran character actor HM Wynant. I play "Reet Pappin," a Government guy who enlists the help of Betty Armstrong to find her husband, Science guy Dr. Paul Armstrong, who has been missing for two years. This leads them to the Amazon, and the search for a valuable rock. But there are other forces at work, trying to get to that rock first...including The Lost Skeleton! Check out THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS AGAIN official website, featuring photos and trailers from the upcoming film!
Frank Has A Blog! Now you can get a nearly daily dose of Sketchy Things artwork and photos from recent events at Frank's Blog: http://sketchythings.blogspot.com/ Stop by often - there's lots of cool stuff to see!

FRANK'S GALLERY SHOW A HUGE HIT!
The exhibit showcased my oil paintings, but there were many of my caricatures on display as well.
Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, the Chaneys, Vincent Price
and many other classic horror icons were represented, as well as the
sci-fi films of the 1950's and the incredible creatures of Ray
Harryhausen.
The opening night party featured music, wine and
other interesting concoctions. Among the guests who showed up to
celebrate were KATHY BURNS, artists BERNIE WRIGHTSON and WILLIAM
STOUT, author DAVID J. SCHOW, directors TOM HOLLAND and KENNETH J. HALL,
producer TED NEWSOM, publisher JESSIE LILLEY, writers TERRY PACE, BILL
WARREN and RICHARD HARLAND SMITH, production designer ANTHONY TREMBLAY
and Dr. Acula himself, FORREST J. ACKERMAN!
