How does she curl her hair like that?
Not for nuthin’, but this Betty Boop I did up is HOT. I can’t wait to reveal her fully.

Doing research on Tex Avery for Original Cartoon Heroes, and I cannot for the life of me find any good photos of him online. Too small, or he’s looking away from the camera. I even tried my local library branch, but the 2 books I needed are in Reference and not available for check out. Bummed!
Luckily, Fred is ordering me the books off of Amazon! Thanks Fred! :)
In the meantime, here are a few studies of Tex I did.

Betty Boop art originally posted April 7th, 2008 for Channel Frederator.
Got Betty Boop on my mind tonite as I’m working on Original Cartoon Heroes.
She was a cutie patoot!
my version just makes her look all drugged out, but at least she’s a cutie drugged out patoot!

For those of you not in the know, I’ve been working on a dream freelance project w/ Fred Seibert of Frederator on a postcard tribute series, named Original Cartoon Heroes.
Fred & I came up with a list of Animation Legends, and I’m very proud to pay tribute & give homage to these Greats in my style.
Above you will see my studies for Ralph Bakshi. The only one of the list who is still with us, still painting, still drawing, still stirring the Animation stew (and adding a lot of pepper and hot sauce while he’s at it!)
Ralph Bakshi is a hero of mine, and I am pleased to say that he’s using an early incarnation of my Original Cartoon Heroes tributes as his personal Facebook Avatar still! For that, I am honored beyond belief!
I can’t wait to share the new version I’ve done w/ him!
Thank you Ralph.
Thank you Fred.
Thanks to Cartoons.
-Jeaux Janovsky, a true Original
