AURORA MODEL KIT ADS!

WHITE SOX '55!

From my CUBS / WHITE SOX baseball collection...love the design of this 1955 Chicago White Sox Official Score Book cover!  8^)

THE IMPOSSIBLES!

COMMISSIONS!

Here's an example of one of the many commissioned pieces of art that I've created for fans of classic TV cartoons!  This was one of my favorite pieces to do...a lot of my favorite Hanna-Barbera characters!  8^)

AMAZING...

...that the main character, CHARLIE CHAN, isn't even shown on the front cover of the newly-released DVD set of THE AMAZING CHAN AND THE CHAN CLAN (above).  I wonder if the Executives, Art Director and Designer at Warner Bros. Home Video, who are responsible for the DVD set's cover insert, have ever seen this show.  Do they even know who CHARLIE CHAN is?  I don't think so.  I think it would make more sense to use an image very similar to the show's 1970s Whitman coloring book cover (below).  8^)

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY, PAUL!

SANTO!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Proud Papa or not...hope everyone had a great Father's Day today!  8^)

It was 53 years ago today, June 16, 1959...GEORGE REEVES passed away.  My favorite SUPERMAN!  8^)

SECRET SQUIRREL!

Love this SECRET SQUIRREL art! Reminds me of the show's original opening. My pal Scott Jeralds did the art.

MEGO!

PATTY DUKE!

Always enjoyed the THE PATTY DUKE SHOW!  Here's the original painted cover art for the 1966 PATTY DUKE book by Whitman.  Below is the book's front cover.  Looking forward to seeing Patty Duke at the next Hollywood Collector's Show in Burbank, CA this August.  8^)

MORE BOB!

Really enjoying the BOB HOPE comic books that I've been adding to my collection!  Here's BOB HOPE #102 (Dec. 1966 - Jan. 1967)!  8^)

THE ANT AND THE AARDVARK!

Always enjoyed DePatie-Freleng's THE ANT AND THE AARDVARK!  There were 17 theatrical shorts produced between 1969 and 1971 (released through United Artists), and featured JOHN BYNER doing a Dean Martin voice for The Ant, and a Jackie Mason impression for The Aardvark.  This is the original painted art for an Ant and the Aardvark puzzle. 8^)

HONG KONG PHOOEY HOT WHEELS!

Saw this tonight at my local Ralphs market...a Hot Wheels HONG KONG PHOOEY '34 Ford Sedan Delivery truck. I inked the HONG KONG PHOOEY character that was used on the blister card!  Cool!  8^)

Very cool to see my JETSONS character art on this 1999 JETSONS Hallmark School Days lunch box!  I had forgotten about the lunch box, and just recently added it to my collection.  8^)

So great to see the Chicago White Sox wearing their early 1970s-style red & white uniforms for Sunday home games!  My favorite White Sox uniforms!  I have great memories of going to the old Comiskey Park in Chicago to see the great White Sox players like Bill Melton, Wilbur Wood, Dick Allen, Carlos May, Pat Kelly, Jorge Orta, Bucky Dent and more!  8^)
