Lastly, to explain this wartime rationing joke, the “points” meant the number of red food rationing points to purchase meats, fish, and dairy. 48 points equaled 3/4 of a civilian's red points for a month (64 points were issued monthly).

A page from "Mr FancyPants" Little Golden Book. This was mostly digital, but I scanned some washes to use for textures in the background. You can see some in the sky here. #spongebob #littlegoldenbooks #krustykrab #illustration #humanart

Recently been trying to fill in the gaps in my anatomy knowledge now that my art drive is back. Decided to tackle my biggest weakness first: the back. And I'm finally starting to understand it. Here are some recent study sketches in chronological order.

Here are some Natwick sketches in that era very chicken-y but appealing

The Kickstarter for Milton Knight's independent animated short "CAT AND MOUSE" is up. The in-progress work looks incredible! Consider backing if you want to see a genuinely unique cartoon from a very talented cartoonist.

Love these backgrounds

365 Days of Tunes - 281/365: In THE GREAT PIGGY BANK ROBBERY (’46), considered Bob Clampett’s magnum opus, comic-book maniac Daffy Duck knocks himself out in his excitement over the latest issue of Dick Tracy, and dreams he’s “Duck Twacy” on the trail of stolen piggy banks.

Book Revue (1946) Bob Clampett #LooneyTunes #animation

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

bob clampett toons just hit so different. his use of closeups in particular is so distinct. also are you kidding me with this shot from "what price porky" which just blew me away

365 Days of Tunes - 253/365: vimeo.com/1117482388 Tex Avery’s travelogue spoof CROSS COUNTRY DETOURS (’40) offers a series of scenic wonders of the United States. Tex wanted a realistic approach towards character acting and had live-action reference shot for much of the cartoon.

This is a pose from the first SpongeBob movie. This was drawn to work with the live action footage so it is much larger than most of the regular storyboard drawings. (my facebook friends have seen this before, sorry for the repeat) #spongebob #patrickstar #cartoon #animationart #pencildrawing

Off model Pluto is funny.

I've been maintaining a years' long campaign to redraw Patrick into every cartoon starfish I encounter

The first of Irv Spence's brilliant animation in the cartoon, which includes the earlier clip.

Been thinking about lane smith's art lately, I love how earthy and unsettling his illustrations are.

Once, Sesame Street was a lifeline for indie animators. It offered money and incredible freedom to create. This built an indie animation boom that powered MTV, Nickelodeon and much more. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-golden...

A choice moment from "And the Winner Is", a book based on the episode "Big Pink Loser". I was very green and digital painting tools were pretty limited back then (no cintiq!) but I'm still proud of how these turned out. #patrickstar #krustykrab #spongebob #mrkrabs #digitalpaint #animation #cartoon

quick followup (Ana, Lloyd, and Teddy done by @bendedede.bsky.social)

This is the cover for one of the first SpongeBob books I illustrated. Some of the details here, coral and flowers, were cut and paste from the stock BGs (most likely painted by Nick Jennings). #spongebob #jokebook #illustrationart #patrickstar #animation #cartoon
