New CAF Gallery Room Opens mid-February

Since the early 1960s, Doug's submitted thousands of loose-style gag roughs to Playboy; close to 500 were approved by Hugh Hefner for final art and ultimate publication in the magazine.

The Art of Doug Sneyd, published by Dark Horse Books, features 270 of these full-page color Playboy cartoons; a new Gallery Room will open mid-February on the Doug Sneyd Premium Gallery at:


It will offer 70 approved gag rough originals - typically on standard 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper, in pencil/Sharpie or color using aniline dyes -  for the following Playboy cartoons reproduced in The Art of Doug Sneyd.  

The page number in parenthesis corresponds to the Playboy cartoon reproduced in the 248-page Dark Horse publication, which was also a 2012 Eisner Award nominee in the Best Humor Publication category.
