CRUMB
This is from the documentary:
WARNING: Crumb draws nude figures in this clip- kind of big shaped ladies... so if you're offended by his cartoons then I guess don't watch. This clip also contains some of his cartoons of a sexual nature. The film, though, is a really great glimpse into an amazing mind (in my opinion). I just loved watching him sketch. I will say that there was one cartoon that they showed in the film that I was perplexed by. Many of his supporters thought it was offensive and it was. Crumb is a complex man with many insecurities and these feelings show in his work. This is why the film is great - it shows both the good and bad, and is both a praise and a critique.

ROBERT CRUMB - REFERENCE PHOTOS
I watched a really great documentary called Crumb last night. It's fascinating. His family is crazy! But I digress.
In the documentary Crumb showed us a book of photos. They're a collection of photographs of powerlines. These are a few of the photos from his collection:
He said something like, "You can't make this stuff up." And he's right! There are some things that you can't make up or invent... and if you try to it'll look false. That's why a reference photo is invaluable. Obviously powerlines are important to him. So he created a collection that he can use for quick reference. I love it.
Below is some of his art with powerlines in it:
Below is a sketch I did of Crumb while watching the documentary:
