BOB CLARKE R.I.P.


My friend Patrick alerted me that Bob Clarke passed away about a week ago at age 87.  He was by far one of my favorite MAD MAGAZINE artists!

APRIL


I ironically came upon this illustration in the NEW TOTH book just a few days after APRIL FOOLS day!  I had to post it.....LOVE this book!

UPA'S GAY PURR-EE


 Just watched GAY PURR-EE on DVD and made a better cover for the DVD cover today (above) :)  I remember seeing it at school as a treat movie at STONEY CREEK SCHOOL.  Love the art in it and the Chuck Jones stylings.  I could see the film boring children and why it wasn't a great success BUT it sure is eye candy for the animation adult fan!




THE BEATLES

 I framed up these amazing 11 x 17" prints from my friend Terry!

Framed these too....Comiskey Park, 1965
