1965 HANNA-BARBERA SAFETY SIGNS - Part 1



Perhaps all of the Hanna-Barbera afficionados out there have seen these 1965 Hanna-Barbera safety signs, but I wanted to post them for everyone else to see just how cool they are. I'm not exactly sure who illustrated the safety signs. Does anyone know? There were 36 safety signs produced...here's the first three. I'll be posting three H-B safety signs each day on my blog.

More BARRIS event photos!





Here's a few more photos from the March 23 GEORGE BARRIS street naming event. It was nice that BATMAN, ROBIN, BATGIRL and CATWOMAN attended the ceremony! Also in attendance was BO DEREK, PATRICK WAYNE, ERIK ESTRADA, voice-over actor WALLY WINGERT and BUTCH "Eddie Munster" PATRICK. BUTCH was kind enough to pose for a photo with me, which I've posted. KNBC's FRITZ COLEMAN was Master of Ceremonies. MARK LONDON, a terrific graphic designer and friend (Brian Wilson, Hal Lifson's 1966 book), was also there. Check out Mark's blog at http://heavypaperz.blogspot.com/. Mark has a few of his photos of the event posted. E-mail me at powsley@flash.net . Thanks! - Patrick Owsley

GEORGE BARRIS street naming event photos!





Here's a few photos from the George Barris street naming event. The event took place March 23 at Barris Kustom City in North Hollywood, CA. A small side street next to the Barris shop was renamed George Barris Place. It was great to see Mr. Barris recognized for his sensational work in the entertainment industry! Some of the "kustom" cars that George Barris built include the 1966 TV BATMOBILE...THE MUNSTERS KOACH...THE STARSKY & HUTCH Gran Torino and he collaborated with Dean Jeffries on THE MONKEEMOBILE. That's Mr. Barris and I in this posting's top photo. Thanks! -- Patrick Owsley

FROSTY's WINTER WONDERLAND licensing art





Since it's still very "frosty" in many parts of the U.S., I thought I'd post a few pieces of FROSTY's WINTER WONDERLAND licensing character art. FROSTY's WINTER WONDERLAND was produced by Rankin/Bass Productions. The 1976 TV special starred the voice talents of Andy Griffith, Shelly Winters and Paul Frees. FROSTY's WINTER WONDERLAND is the cel animated sequel to Rankin/Bass' 1969 FROSTY THE SNOWMAN. I inked this art for Warner Bros. Consumer Products using brush & ink. The art was penciled by Mike Fontanelli based on the great Paul Coker, Jr. character designs. For more Rankin/Bass, be sure to check out Rankin/Bass biographer and historian Rick Goldschmidt's blog at http://www.enchantedworldofrankinbass.blogspot.com/. Click on each image to enlarge!

It's markers, brush & ink, colored pencil and cel vinyl paint on coquille board. You can e-mail your comments about my blog to me at powsley@flash.net .
