Still getting lots of orders today! I need to rest up, but I am keeping up with the orders! Some books, like the Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass, will take a little longer as the demand is high and more are coming from the printer!

 I think the mention of my book by Jon Favreau in Netflix's The Movies that Made us, had a lot to do with the demand for the book this year!  I am glad I was able to help out with that episode.

Super popular this season! Maybe due to the mention on Netflix's the movies that made us or just the reflection on better times this holiday season 🎅 #20thanniversaryedition #theenchantedworldofrankinbassaportfolio #big #christmas #book

My Fox News Chicago segment airs again this weekend, and if you missed it, here it is online too. Also, Many people have been emailing me about Netflix's The Movies That Made Us/Elf episode. Yes, that is the Netflix project I assisted with and the book they are talking about is my first book. Maybe that is why we are selling so many copies of that "Big Rankin/Bass book," #rankinbassproductions #christmas2020

Release the Kringle!

Decided to draw another of Romeo Muller and Tony Peters Creations for Rankin/Bass Productions! Sunday 🎨 Comes with 1967 GE/Ideal toys version on DVD #elves #christmasinjuly #romeomullerestate #antonypetersestate

Sunday night Hermey art

 

Another character from Rankin/Bass' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer solely created by Rankin/Bass writer Romeo Muller, Jr. (based on one of his dear friends) and designed by Antony Peters!

Jangle bells

They used Antony's art in the 1964 and 1965 GE TV Guide ads

 

Regarding Tony's art in the ad, you will notice that Sam doesn't have a mustache or beard, as when Tony originally did the designs, Burl wasn't cast yet as Sam and Larry D. Mann performed the dialogue and songs.   Many people ask about Hermey's normal ears and long, blond curl....this was to differentiate him from all the other elves, as he was a misfit and unique.  Many people ask me about the bulb shaped noses of the regular elves.   Yes, this was to reflect a GE Light bulb shape.  Tony designed three Rankin/Bass Christmas carolers in Animagic for a GE Commercial that Rankin/Bass did a few years earlier (Photograph can be seen in my book The Making of the Rankin/Bass Holiday Classic:  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer available at www.miserbros.com 
) and you can clearly see they all have light bulb shape noses.  He continued this look for the 1964 productions of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  Romeo Muller came up with the concept of all the additional characters and my late friend Antony Peters designed them.

Joel is selling his last batch of Hermey signed pics! We will have on site soon 🎅
