More News and a special treat
Well I have some incredible news to share with all of you faithful and patient bloggers out there who actually still bother to stop by here hoping for anything new to ever get posted in the forseeable future.
I have been in contact with legendary Golden Books Illustrator and artist extroadinaire MEL CRAWFORD and his wife via e-mail recently after discovering he lives amere 30 minutes away from my home here in CT. Mel has agreed to have me up to his studio for tea and some chit chat next week and I couldn't be more excited!!!
So to all of you Mel Crawford fans out there... leave me a comment or shoot me an e-mail with any questions or topics that you'd like to see me discuss with Mel and I'll do my best to get them answered and posted here.
There's also a possibility that I may even be able to get to see some of Mels originals too while I'm at it. But most exciting of all is the prospect of having Mel teach me some of his amazing painting techniques - which has me just overwhelmed at the thought of such an opportunity.
I also have purchased a few more Mel Crawford books recently and will be sharing those soon as well once I manage to catch up on things around here with my portfolio business and trips to San Diego and Los Angeles in less than a MONTH!!!!
and now for a Special treat!
Some kind soul has found what looks to be an amazingly nice quality print of one of Milt Gross cartoons for MGM and poste dit on you tube for all to enjoy...
I've never seen this before, but was amazed at how well the artists and animators were able to translate Gross unique and wild cartooning style to animation. This is a funny, fast-paced and ultra-cartoony cartoon if I ever did see one.
Here's to hoping I can find this cartoon somehwere and get some screen grabs from a few of the really wild and manic poses that pop up all over the place. I also hope that perhaps the second cartoon in this series just might show up on youtube very soon too (hint hint)

Lucky! Sounds like a lot of fun. I wish I had tried to make contact with Myron Waldman while he was alive. He lived about 10 minutes from me. You must be quite excited.
Lucky!
I usually find these things out the week afer they die.
It turns out Milt Gross' JITTERBUG FOLLIES is available as one of the "extras" on one of the DVDs in THE MARX BROS COLLECTION, a multi-disc set of lesser Marx Bros movies like A DAY AT THE RACES, A NIGHT IN CASABLANCA etc. It's been out for awhile, I ordered it from Amazon but it's slow in coming.
Milt G did three cartoons for MGM and this is the best one in my opinion. I have been nuts for his print work since i was a kid and only wish he had made more animation.
Good luck finding it and congrats for making contact with the great Mel C.

The singing voice of mother goose sure sounds like the of Chiquita Banana from the 40's.

Granted, there are usuallyMicrosoft Office 2010write-ups when presidential contenders make their tax returns available, but the coverage falls far short of the Office 2010
