🦆 Eliza Herndon! 🦆

💛💛💛 You're the best Amanda!!!

“Kinda” as these are the cleanups of the scene/how it appears in final but DANG. 5 year old Eliza watching endless hours of SpongeBob going “I wanna do that” would be so stoked. Nearly-25 year old Eliza is!

Drawings of Slappy from SpongeBob getting electrocuted, from an art book

My storyboard drawings of the same scene

Bucket list item achieved: my art (kinda) is in a book :)

Mod girl doodle scribble

WHAAAAT BRANSON CONGRATS!!!!! Haven't even gotten to congratulate you for Strip Law yet!! You're killin' it!! 💛💛💛

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOË!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you have a great one!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

I drew the three stooges for my friend

Yessss.... YESSSSSSS!!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL

Ooohh, how lovely!! I know what I'm watching while I work tomorrow! Thanks so much for the rec!

A very prolific artist who was most known for her color styling for Disney! She provided a ton of concept art and color keys for Disney films through the '40s and early '50s, and also designed the art for Disneyland's It's a Small World attraction. She's a huge talent!!

Trying to spend less time scrolling this year and instead reading--gonna read as many animation books as I can, old and new. Been rereading Michael Barrier's Hollywood Cartoons book and falling in love with the craft all over again. Heartily recommend yinz to do the same!

The cover to The Art and Flair of Mary Blair by John Canemaker.

Nabbed this for $5 recently and so worth it! I'm sure nobody on here needs a lesson in how gifted Mary Blair was, but it's a wonderful thing to be reminded of it.

BIG CONGRATS TO YOU!!! It's sooo refreshing to see this kind of cartooning again! Super excited and happy for you, especially considering how long the lead-up has been! Hope you're able to celebrate; huge congrats to you and the crew!! Loved it!

I hope you're doing okay!! Much love to you 💛

OH YOU ARE SO LUCKY. The 4th one is one of my favorite public domain covers EVER, it makes me so happy to see you're in possession of it. One of my favorite pastimes is looking at these

Thank you!! Happy Valentine's Day to you, too!!

Redraw of a redraw from early 2020–it does the soul good to draw such a mirthful porcine every once in awhile!

(February 2023) Any and all times of the year are a great time to watch Frank Tashlin's THE STUPID CUPID

(SpongeBob’s been through this routine enough times to know to get a backup for himself.)

Happy Valentine’s Day! May your chocolates be sweet and uneaten by well-meaning friends!

A drawing of Daffy Duck holding up a box of half-eaten chocolates, saying "I taste tested them myself! I even saved ya the ones i didn't like!"

A piece of fanart for the short "The Stupid Cupid". Elmer Fudd (AKA said Stupid Cupid) lurks behind a tree with his arrow, as Daffy Duck is stricken with the arrow in the foreground.

Fanart of the short "Little 'Tinker", the skunk is dressed as Frank Sinatra and singing in front of a crowd of adoring fans.

And here's a miscellaneous collection of some older Valentine's Day drawings from 2020-2021! Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays because it's so focused on graphic design (and because I could spend hours looking at bizarre vintage valentines). Enjoy yer chocolates!

A painting made up to look like a mock valentine card. Daffy Duck is dressed as his alter ego, Duck Twacy. On one knee, he points a gun at the viewer, a heart tucked under his arm. Combined with the heart behind him, it reads “ Say, Valentine… you may “detect” it — I’ve got your heart — did you “suspect” it?”

A piece that has been 5 years in the making: the only thing better than a Dick Tracy valentine is a Duck Twacy valentine!

A mock-up of a Valentine. An anthropomorphic cow and a red leopard sit on either end of a bench, with a squirrel in the middle, all wearing baseball uniforms. Various boxes of chocolates are open, and both the cow and leopard offer the squirrel a chocolate, with a shared speech bubble saying "Peanut". The caption for the Valentine is "Valentine--I'm NUTTY for you!"

Valentine's Day drawing from 2022 of my own peanut gallery (sorry) of characters!

Thanks so much for sharing, Jeff!! I’m glad you like it!

Fanart from the Tex Avery cartoon, Little Tinker. Two skunks stand in the middle of the frame, the boy holding wilted flowers as his girl looks on happily. Their scent lines float above to form a heart, just as two trees in the foreground also make a heart.

A piece in honor of that one lovelorn cartoon skunk who just can't seem to hold a date--no, the other one! Here's hoping your Valentine's Day doesn't stink!

Awww that's great!! Thanks so much!

THANK YOU ROXXX!! I'm glad you like it and glad it translates!!!

Cartoons just don't lose their minds over Frank Sinatra like they used to!! 😔😔😔
