Brother and sister in law got me this coloring book because “we thought it’d be funny”

It is IMPERATIVE that everyone look at this ornament my mom made me. The world’s best Christmas ornament has finally been made.

Had a moment of clarity today as I awaited to check out my SpongeBob TIME magazine while wearing my ridiculously loud SpongeBob sweater. Would you believe I was the only one dressed up like this in the grocery store!?

Always loved this Christmas card by Seymour Kneitel

Watching The Bishop’s Wife, was not expecting to see the kid who played young George Bailey in an almost identical context of his establishing scene at around the same time. Alternate universe where Cary Grant was in It’s A Wonderful Life

the good that you do persists in this world

Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!! I hope your days and nights are filled with plenty of love and light :) 💙✨💙✨💙✨I did not intend for that to rhyme, but I did it with all my might! (Now that, I did intend to rhyme--I'm keeping it tight!)

So after seeing the pics by @ducktwacy.bsky.social, Figured I dub em!

There were at least three rows filled with a bunch of tween-aged (at oldest) girls at our showing of Wicked. The trailer for the new SpongeBob movie showed and it brought the house down, lots of laughing. Was a nice reminder that the things we make are still loved by kids and making them laugh :)

A movie starring Jimmy Durante with a squirrel in a kilt puppeteered by George Pal. I'm sad to say I have never been enticed more by a film, nor has one ever had my name on it more. They're calling it The Greatest Film Ever Made

Hey! I’m Santa! Your kid is frightening and sucks! Here’s a song about myself! — Santa’s visit to Donner’s cave.

I was stricken with the art direction of this scene (and entire special!) and wanted to paint it

Plex Submits $35 Bid For Warner Bros.

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Elzie Crisler “E.C.” Segar (Dec. 8, 1894-Oct. 13, 1938). In 1919, he created the newspaper strip, Thimble Theatre, and on January 17, 1929, that strip contained the 1st appearance of his most famous creation, Popeye.

I'm picky w/ Popeye shorts because it's SO hard for me to adjust after the 1935-1938 peak. IT'S THE NATURAL THING TO DO is a happy exception! The gang get a complaint that urges them to be polite, but they despise this and get much more joy out of bloodlust and brawn. Fantastic energy and fun here

Short thread of some storyboard drawings from Squidina's Holidaze Special I never posted! Getting to draw SpongeBob in his cute little Santa suits has been one of my greatest honors, as a lover of cute Sponges wearing cute little outfits.

I watched the Ron Howard Grinch for the first time and I’m sorry to say I have never prayed for a movie to end more. I’m sad bc it has all of the ingredients of everything I love, and I genuinely respect it and think more movies should be like this. It’s also textbook definition insufferable to me

Some Bugs Bunny Show pigs! I held off on these for awhile because the originals are so charming and strong in their shape language that it felt like sacrilege to fiddle with them… but it made for good practice! Which one’s your favorite?

When designing the look of the trash filled interior of Squidward's house in "Heart of Garbage," I looked back at early paintings of the Barg-N-Mart and suggested we go with the messier linework with swatches of painted color in those backgrounds. The results from Shane and his team were astounding!

A Christmas card for a friend from 2023 I never posted!

I love Christmas because it’s the one time of year where everyone is watching and listening to movies and songs that are as old as what I watch and listen to on the regular. Big holiday for those of us perpetually living everyday in 1952. Welcome to my domain 🤝

A few years ago I went on an hours-long binge reading up on the history of every balloon ever flown in the Macy's Parade. In doing so I found this wonderful photograph from ~1938 of a Ferdinand the Bull balloon

This thread is so fun and weird and great.

Happy Thanksgivin'!

Drew this Clampettian Pig a few weeks ago among my Pig binge—been taking screenshots to marvel over/study, and the ones drawn by Clampett and Jones are the most appealing. My style pokes out in this more than intended, but I think it’s bc I’ve accidentally absorbed so much of Clampett via osmosis

Little cut dance party ending from the end of It's Too Late With Plankton! Every good talk show ends with one!

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is now old enough to drink!! Crazy! Reposting this piece I did for a crew White Elephant back in 2022; happy anniversary to one of the greatest films ever made!! #SpongeBob #SpongeBobSquarePants #thespongebobsquarepantsmovie

Somethin' I made back in 2022 for the film's anniversary--HAPPY 20 YEARS OF DOUBLE BLOWIN' BUBBLE BABIES!!

Incredible ending to the incredible TWO GOPHERS FROM TEXAS. Beautiful Bill Melendez + Emery Hawkins animation here, w/ this essentially being the latter's magnum opus. I don't know of any other WB cartoon that has drawings with such specificity in derangement (which is different from "exaggerated")

Took part in @peanutscollab.bsky.social and redrew a classic Peanuts strip, one of my favorites. I believe a lot of my artistic impetus is attributed to Schulz, so it's hard to not draw these characters how he himself drew them without feeling like sacrilege, so I forced myself to work differently.

Quaint Sponge I drew in a hurry trying to explain what very likely is a false memory

This is so grim.

HELLZAPOPPIN’ is maybe the greatest movie of all time strictly because I said so. Where has this been all my life. This is the most/best “live action cartoon” I’ve ever seen. And considering I am in constant pursuit and adoration of just that, I do not say that lightly

Got re-hooked on another Laurel and Hardy kick awhile back, and WWWWOW how have I forgotten what utter joy these guys are! Stan's cry-singing is hilarious and I love Ollie fighting him for the plate. Absolutely one of those things where you can just tell they had so much fun filming this

Been rewatching a lot of early Porkys, and was reminded of a piece I did for the short MILK AND MONEY back in 2021 that I took down since I was unhappy with it… so, now I’m revisiting it with renowned Pork Prowess!

The nature of gif making sadly compressed this, so PLEEEASE do yer peepers a favor and look at it proper!

This started as an appreciation for Bob Clampett giving Daffy silly, oversized outfits early on, and ended as an ode to his ephemeral strength of combining cute-'n-sadistic. #looneytunes #daffyduck #bobclampett #art
