I’m completely shellshocked and can barely even begin to think. Eric Bauza was always so sweet and encouraging to me in all the times we talked together, he’d leave such kind encouraging comments on my art and knew I loved his Daffy enough to sing happy birthday to me in his voice.

Any time I'd compliment his art (which he was really, *REALLY* good at) he'd just volley it right back to me. I didn't even get to meet him in person or work with him and yet just in our interactions together you knew he loved not only his characters, but just all of cartoondom in general

I’d been hoping for years to meet him in person and thank him for all of his kindness and properly gush over his work. Years ago he offered to commission me to design some art for his clothing line, it didn’t end up going very far but he was so sweet and encouraging. I was so sure I’d meet him

Got back from the Elizabeth Holmes doc and it was wonderful. I don't know how I'm supposed to resume any of my daily activities though after what I just saw. Like I'm supposed to just go about my day? After that?

I've been watching every single golden age cartoon I can possibly find because 1) there's something wrong with me 2) I love expanding my mental library to further me in my cartooning endeavors and 3) I get to catalogue stuff like this. Reuse from a whole different studio entirely!

Drew this a few years ago when it was all the rage to draw characters into Hot Ones: Daffy would be charmingly obnoxious, gesticulating and being a pest, he keeps flicking hot sauce everywhere and it lands in Sean Evans’ eye and then Daffy is permanently banned from Hot Ones. Yes that’s real poultry

Recently found a lobby card for one of my VERY favorite cartoons that I've been hunting for YEARS... buuuut the quality left a lot to be desired, so I cleaned it up/interpreted it to ogle at it with maximum efficiency.

Original + bonus clean version on my end

I've always had a ferocious love of this song number (if you can even call it that) because of its anti-humor (if you can even call it *that*), but I love it 10,000x more ever since learning the pig is voiced by Tex Avery. Bob McKimson's acting on the horse gets me each time

Thread of drawings from "Dad Election"! Rough boards: Miggs Perez and Andy Gonsalves! Supervision: Tim Prendergast! Fun time: had by all!

And just some more miscellaneous drawings I like to end out on here 'n the post below! It's always a joy getting to work off of Andy and Miggs' drawings, the ability to just draw *funny* is one I admire so much

Just as I always enjoy getting to draw Pat the Hapless! He's such a fun character

I loooove this French poster for Sons of the Desert. Stan looks like a relative of Tintin's
