This first one's called "Tales of Worm Paranoia" and was directed by Eddie Fitzgerald with some animated scenes by Bob Jaques!! It's amazing!

[link]

And here's another good one titled "Buy One, Get One Free" directed by Don Yank, Charlie Bean, and Carey Yost! with artwork from Lynne Naylor, Jim Smith, Chris Reccardi, Scott Wills, Mike Fontanelli, Bob Jaques, Rob Renzetti and among others!!

Now these here are classic gems! These are what I call cartoons!! They give me tingles up and down my spine every time I watch 'em!

Betty Boop/Bimbo-"Mysterious Mose"

[link]

Betty Boop-"Minnie The Moocher"

[link]

There's another Betty Boop called "The Old Man of the Mountain" in Youtube and unfortunately Devart isn't letting me give you this link 'cause there's a little smiley emoticon that appers in the middle of the link thing, which has an equal sign and an upper case "D". bleh! Basically it looks like this:

well yep! now that i've learned a couple of more things about animation in school among w/ all the programs I've learned for animation I've thought of doing my first mini film for myself and waiting until my senior year to make one won't encourage me to animate now! but yeah for this thing I'll be doing some research a whole lot of heavy research and working on different things like making sure everything flows well so that it wouldn't be this humongous mess of crap! well actually ahhh why not this'll be my blog why waste it on another blog site. so yes i'll be putting my shizznizz here. and what's the purpose for doing this? well nothing really i just wanna post more new drawings and stuff cause it's been a while. i do miss posting my thingies!

on a side note! did you know that John K.'s doing a music video for Weird Al? it's too cool! i got this news a while back but i figured it'd be cool to tell those who don't know.

also the new set for looney tunes (i know old news) but i still can't get over the Gruesome Twosome cartoon and another one called Rumors which is a Snafu cartoon in the set. very cool stuff very inspiring. now i know how John K. feels about Clampett. when i saw the gruesome twosome cartoon i felt very inspired. I know i've seen it once during my childhood but seeing it again made me realize more about animation and cartooning and since i was inspired by this cartoon i also felt some envy cause the cartoon was so good and for some reason i felt like i couldn't be as good as clampett, but really i can be, which is something new i've learned.

crazy crazy stuff!! ]]> ~LooneyLion http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/6766016/ http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/6766016/ Fri, 14 Oct 2005 12:03:59 PDT
as you can see i've got new drawings up, and hopefully I'll put up more for the time being. ]]> ~LooneyLion http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/6606155/ http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/6606155/ Mon, 26 Sep 2005 09:14:29 PDT
Anyways, well I have some unfortunate news. All the scanners down in the lab don't work and won't work for the entire year, i hope they meant what's left of the year and not my entire sophomore year. Sadness strikes down upon thee. So yeah you won't be seeing some drawings for a while and that sucks 'cause I've done a bunch since I got to school. I do think I have a chance to scan 'em in a different building, but we'll see what goes.

Also I came upon a site called Carnival Cartoons, and some of the stuff in their site are pretty fun to watch especially this one short called "Bend Over and Take it" and among other stuff. Here's the link [link] the drawings and concepts are really cool, but what I don't find too impressive about this place is that some stuff in here reminds me a little bit of Spumco, which doesn't make it seem too innovative in my sense.

Annother site I came across was Katie Rice's blog called Funny Cute. If you're not familiar w/ her stuff, she's done layouts for the new Spumco R&SAPC, she does awesome cartoony girl drawings, and I think she now works as a character designer for The Buzz on Maggie. In there she shows different drawing techniques and styles she applies to her girl drawings and talks about her experiences through caricaturing, where she talked to John K. about certain techniques that can be helpful for a funny caricature and you'll get to see some funny celebrity caricatures from John, which are fun to look at. here's the link [link]

And last but not least, another blog I found from a worker from Spumco named Fred Osmond, who I think also works w/ Katie on The Buzz on Maggie show and has his own caricature and cartoons blog called Cartoons and Caricatures [link] his stuff is really awesome and i think he's an amazing cartoonist. ]]> ~LooneyLion http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/6458618/ http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/6458618/ Fri, 09 Sep 2005 12:05:47 PDT [link]

only for your viewing pleasure!! ]]> ~LooneyLion http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/6259913/ http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/6259913/ Thu, 18 Aug 2005 08:35:56 PDT
I'm really into the painting thing lately, so i haven't really been doing a lot of drawings. hopefull this this wekend i'll post some stuff up i've done or later today. ]]> ~LooneyLion http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/5416312/ http://LooneyLion.deviantart.com/journal/5416312/ Fri, 20 May 2005 22:31:56 PDT
yeah I've been doing more school work and more drawings lately, but lately I've been having some pretty interesting talks w/ my roommate about spirituality and how it relates w/ composition in art. My roommate knows quite alot about spirituality. He's been doing lots of meditation and lots of Tai Chi and reads into this kinda stuff alot too and he's an awesome friend and roommate! well yeah we talk about the fake stuff in art and the real stuff that comes deep down inside a person's spirit and how it's expressed onto the flat surface or page or wherever, but with control. I describe it as being outrageous. The talks I've had w/ him made my thinking about art and everything in general so clear! Spirituality is the key! but i don't wanna go into detail w/ all of this. I think it's best for everyone to figure this stuff out on their own. I just thought i'd give in some few hints and stuff. you know just to make you think. heh I don't mean to be mean or anything I just think that's how it should go.

Peace!

um posted new drawings up! if you wanna check those out. and there was a chat recently with John K. that happened on Monday. here's a link if you wanna check it out: [link] mainly he mentions some stuff about the new DVD box set of R&S seasons 3 and a half and an APC DVD as well, but yeah if anyone wants to read, click on the link.

my favorite part in the chat:

MultiMoog1: My question: If you absolutely know you're good enough, what's a good way to try and get in touch with Spumco to do work?

John K.: If you know you're good enough, I know you're not.

I did a little cartoon portrature of myself yesterday (or was it Saturday) of me being a retard, which is kinda funny lookin' but also scary at the same time (I'll put it up once I'm done here).

I pretty much want to recap what I've been going through inside that cartoonretro place i mentioned before. Well for starters I've been reading about this one animator that worked both in Disney and the Walter Lantz studio. his name is Fred Moore and boy can he draw some good looking women and from what I've read he's done some great animation as well, but this isn't the first time I've heard about him I remembered the name before and when i saw his girl drawings I instantly knew who he was. He's done some great woody woodpecker drawings too. so yeah you should check him out. also I've seen stuff from Mary Blair, who's excellent w/ her painting skills. I also checked out her concept designs for the disney ride "It's a Small World" and they just blew me away. makes me want to paint more actually. I you're familiar w/ the paintings of Joan Miro that's what her stuff kinda reminds me of. Also I found out about another cartoon called Scrub Me Momma w/ a Boogie Beat which might look a little offensive for African-Americans, but I just think the girl drawings are fantastic looking. CANTINFLAS!!! Oh man do i remember this guy! I'd watch him all the time when i was a kid, though i never saw the cartoons. Yeah so this cartoon of cantinflas was just beautiful. Great characters and great backgrounds, especially zee women RWAR! RWAR! heh yeah i was real happy to see that. and I've also been looking at some freeze frames of the Bob Clampett cartoons both off the net and off my Looney Tunes collections and they're super strange. If you ever have the chance to look at your Looney Tunes vol 2 collection w/ the clampett shorts, freeze frame them, it's a great watch (not the whole cartoons just the parts where the characters get zany or do something real fast). I've also seen stuf from illustrators like Ryohei Yanagihara, J.D. Leyendecker, Doug Sneyd, Jack Cole (whom I'm looking at right now) and Harvey Kurtzman who's a great cartoonists if you ask me! so if anyone's interested to check more of this stuff just go to cartoonretro.com, it's worth it!

I just got off the phone w/ my family and they seem like they're doing okay. My mom told me that the power went out in pretty much a few parts around where the house is including the house itself. my sister's pissed off about the whole power thing because she wanted to do a couple of things in her computer and then watch the wedding special of Strange Love. my dad seems okay. he was listening to the radio while talking to me so yeah he seems good enough. I'm very happy that they're all doing just fine!

as for me i barely did shit today except be on the internet. go and buy some materials for a project i have to do, which is friggin' due tomorrow morning and then come back to the room to do some relaxin' and maybe watch a little tv for the hell of it! I have to do a 3-D design project for tomorrow which sucks 'cause i'm a 2-D kinda guy but whatever at least i'm learning a few things.

Um oh yeah my roommate just told me he might download the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (which is my favorite movie for the time being) so that me and him can watch it tonight so we'll see how that goes as for the project that's due tomorrow, I'll probably wake up tomorrow early in the morning to work on that, but it's already halfway done so really I just need to add a couple of other things in there so whatever.

another thing I wanna add is that I was going to the site cartoonretro.com and on it there's a thread discussion about cartoon acting/expressions/poses etc. that got me really interested. It talked about different views and good points on the subject. There was a particular discussion on how John K. (creator of Ren and Stimpy) mentioned that the Disney style of acting was way too fake and generic in a cartoon which I believe it myself and that has nothing to do w/ me not liking Disney. Anyways the people in the thread tested some stuff out w/ a couple of frame stills from the movie Pinochio and still frames from the new Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon show episode called Ren Seeks Help and they compared the two. The still frames from Pinochio are where Pinochio and his friend Lampwick turn into donkeys and get all scared and the still frames from Ren Seeks help is where Ren pistol whips Mr. Horse in the face out of crazed anger. and when they compared the two they found out that they were both really expressive but the Ren one was a lot more expressive because of how the characters were acting and how each tiny little expression and movement was drawn out in ren and Mr. Horse, more w/ ren though. On the other hand w/ Pinochio, they found out that Pinochio's face was always the same expression in each frame it wasn't like how a person's face would react. it didn't feel real, you know? I know it's just a cartoon but if the audience would want to feel the expression more in what the character was feeling at that moment then it'd be more expressive and specific looking in the drawings. When I saw the scene w/ Mr. Horse and Ren I completely felt it. when i saw ren's expressions and movements when he wasn't sure if he should do this or he shouldn't do that he went w/ what he thought he should do anyway and when he did it he felt very uncontrolled like he didn't think to stop himself but he couldn't because he just had to go for it and for some reason i really REALLY felt that. Maybe i saw it in a different way but I just felt the continuance of rage of what Ren was feeling when he was slammin down on Mr. Horse(note that on the website the still frames of Ren going mad are for some reason could not be seen, I'm just taking this information off my head and also I've seen that episode a hundred times and i particularly remember that scene because it's one of my favorites but i could be wrong in some parts). Anywho that's all i have to say.

PEACE!
