SPOTTED: Our BAD ASS FYRB Postcards on the CTN-X booth at SDCC 2012!
Ralph Bakshi’s booth at SDCC was also carrying our FYRB postcards!
From Edward Bakshi, Ralph’s son and supreme booth runner: “We ran out of our cards so I started giving out your FYRB cards. We gave those all out, too!”
We’ve got a couple left.
1st 5 people to leave us a message about FYRB, and give us their name and a mailing address will win one and receive 1 in the mail!!!
It was a very limited print run (only 100 made!), designed by cartoonist & FYRB contributor- Jeaux Janovsky!

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.

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.
