It's rare that I feature coloring pencils, but c'mon---this pre-WWII 'Rose Red' from 'American Pencil Co. is straight-up beautiful! ...too bad it's bowed (more on this later).

Ok, so I had a list of subjects I thought the pencil might help to look good (as if anything could salvage my art). I thought of the obvious: Rose Red, from 'Grimm's Fairytale Classics ...but I've recently drawn some anime girls (it's too soon).

TEBG is a book written and illustrated by Jane and Dale Baer, and published by Ideals.

If the name 'Dale Baer' sounds familiar, it's because he was a Disney animator (The Rescuers; Robin Hood, etc). Baer also did work on Bob's Burgers (Baer died earlier this year, alas).

I've had a copy of this book for many, many years ...but I forgot about it, because its home is on the downstairs bookboard (I seldom go down there).

Anyway, the book's in-hand now, so let's take a peek! :D

First, we'll take a good look at the members of The Easter Bunny Gang: https://sta.sh/026ga3ich6ms

The Xerox-era Disney style makes itself very obvious here (and it's a welcome sight). :3

The book doesn't make it TOO obvious who's who, but my best guesses are (from left to right, close to far):

1. Willie (tall)
2. Rigby (glasses)
3. Rosemary (pink)
4. Barnaby (overalls)
5. Violet (blueberry ...sorry; had to)

Unlike the good guys, the baddies wear their names on their shirts: https://sta.sh/01lv21voe698

I guess younguns who wear names on their clothes really are jerks *shot*

:P

It's cute; the art was enough to sell the book to me (I think I paid a dollar for it).^^

Pencil...

Again, the featured pencil is a pre-WWII-era, 'Rose-Red' colored pencil from American Pencil Co.
Mine is unused but ...it has bowed pretty bad---it was mis-stored at some point in its long life. That said, the pencil could still be functional, but I'm not gonna sharpen it. :3
I bought this pencil as part of a lot of colored pencils from an eBayer, who described the  lot (in part) as,

"GREAT OLD LOT OF PENCILS FOUND IN THIS *BOX, WHICH IS PRETTY WORN & TATTERED, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN INSIDE FOR YEARS AND WILL SHIP WITH BOX!"

*an early Venus box from APC

The buyer had only recently listed the lot as an auction. Rather than bid, I DM'd an offer to them, which they accepted (by the time they accepted, the lot had five watchers---I was lucky)!

The Rose-Red was my favorite picking from the lot, but there were some VERY good Crucible Dixon's in there, along with a 'Patented 1895' china marker.
