Tomorrw night (August 25) at the Canvas Cafe and Gallery in SF is the Dan Lee and friends tribute and book launch. The Canvas was one of Dan’s favorite places to go and sketch, and many of those drawings are represented in the new book “In Your Face – Cafe Sketches by Dan Lee” which will be on sale at the show.

About the book as quoted from the In Your Face blog
It’s all about faces! Whether it’s a girl having coffee in a cafe, or a long haired woman cruising in her Beetle with her hair flowing in the wind, Dan Lee’s drawings captured it all. When Lee wasn’t busy designing characters for the Pixar Animation Studios hits, he could be found doodling the local coffee drinkers at some neighbourhood cafes in San Francisco and Oakland. Lee’s artworks have a very unique sensibility. Sketchy thick black lines, bold flat colour and witty sarcasm capture the essence of his subject’s unique personality and expressions. “In Your Face” is a celebration of Dan Lee’s personal artwork compiled by his friends and collegues in honour of his life and talent.
