This is the art MITCH did for THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO. The original art was bought by my friend Paul Dini. I used it for our CD #1.

Mitch's HANNA-BARBERA

My friend Mitch sent these over to me tonight and I thought I would share them with you! I love how he used the classic HANNA-BARBERA characters but invoked his own style into the characters and design. These were all pencil roughs for an international H-B project that Mitch did finished paintings, which I have posted in the past. Mitch did the original cover art for my first book before PAUL COKER did the one we ended up using. I asked Mitch to do the art, because I knew he would also do interesting things with the RANKIN/BASS characters.










I own this original!



JACK DAVIS

Here is the guy who designed THE JACKSON FIVE SHOW...my favorite artist JACK DAVIS. I talk about him in one of the NEW MAD MONSTER PARTY documentaries. Jack and Paul Coker are the reason I became the RANKIN/BASS historian!
