This is an original pencil sketch done by Bob Guccione, "Forecast: Rain" measuring 11 by 14 inches.

Artist:
In 1965, Bob Guccione, a struggling artist with an entrepreneurial imagination, started a magazine called Penthouse. Due to his lack of resources, Guccione personally photographed most of the models for the magazine's early issues. He spent long hours, and sometimes, several days, to complete a photo shoot. Although he had no professional training, Guccione applied his knowledge of painting to his photography, establishing the diffused, soft focus look that would become one of the trademarks of the magazine's pictorials. These images offered more sexually explicit content than other gentleman’s magazines of the era, establishing Penthouse as a well known name amongst its competitors.

With Penthouse, Bob established new genres of nude photography, fine-art illustration, and "investigative" journalism that have been admired, awarded, and imitated the world over. He brought his magazine to the United States four years later, in 1969, and today it is the world leader in its category, generating more newsstand revenue, copy for copy, than any other magazine in the history of publishing. It has licensed foreign editions in 15 countries. Medium:
Pencil on paper.
