FROSTY!

Leslie picked this up for me today at Big Kid in Sherman Oaks, CA as an extra Christmas present. Love this new FROSTY THE SNOWMAN Wacky Wobbler from Funko! Saw some other Rankin/Bass Funko items and they all looked great! Especially the HEAT MISER & SNOW MISER Wacky Wobblers! Will have to get those soon. Look for them!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

RANKIN/BASS' JACK FROST!

Detail of the cover art I created for a public domain DVD release of Rankin/Bass' JACK FROST...from East West DVD. The TV special has since received an official release, but the print quality is very good on this one. You may be able to find it at your local dollar store or 99 Cents store.

YOGI BEAR CHRISTMAS INKING!

Here's a YOGI BEAR Christmas piece that I inked a few years ago for Yogi Bear/Hanna-Barbera licensing...Yogi, Ranger Smith, Cindy Bear and Boo Boo singing Christmas carols! Below is the "before" image that was penciled by Mike Fontanelli. 8^) Merry Christmas!
