Artist's Comments

My piece for the up and coming The Autumn Society "Golden Age of Comics and Animation" Gallery show.

I sorta gave a hint on my last journal on who I was going to do. I couldn't help it. I had to pick him. Maybe next time Boop.

Before their was Mickey....there was Oswald.
Oswald was created by Walt Disney for a distribution deal. Debuting on September 17, 1927 in "Trolley Troubles", the plucky rabbit "acted up"- And audiences went wild. Clever, impulsive, fast-moving Oswald was a huge box office hit, but Walt's high hopes for the hare were squelched when his producer cut him out of the production schedule and lured several of his animators away. The momentary setback ultimately spurred Walt to a much greater victory. Oswald is a sassy stylish blast from the past- with a future that looks bright.

So my tribute to Oswald. Cheers, ya floppy eared varmint.

Be sure to visit my blog Purple Peep Bits for a behind the scenes of creating the picture and more details about the gallery.

A lucky rabbit indeed! This is a delightful, stunning picture, very stylish and original :#1:

I'm currently finishing my own Betty Boop drawing for "Golden Age of Comics and Animation" show, but I'd absolutely love to see your version of her.
