90+ years old Dante Barbetta, who started his career at Famous Studios in 1953, is still actively animating for fun! This was originally shared by @dee_bax

A goal of mine this year is to really lock in with my character acting for work and other avenues. And what better way to do that than to study the wealth of inspirations I have? VERY scribbly and quick, just trying to be gestural and hack out the flow, but here’s the result of one study session!

Did a piece for the David Lynch art show this coming weekend at the CTN Studio in Burbank, curated by @nicocolaleo.bsky.social ! It was fun going outside my comfort zone approach-wise, and learned a lot painting it. Hope to see a bunch of you there!

Great animation by Rollin "Ham" Hamilton, if I'm not mistaken.
It always amuses me how many cartoons there were about getting drunk made during Prohibition.

R.I.P. Guy Moon, composer on THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS and DANNY PHANTOM. I love that "bwwomp" reaction sound he used to do on DP.

Always love how Bugs would fling and swing his arms around! Wonderful animation done by Manny Gould.
This is possibly one of my favourite McKimson shorts, mainly because of how lively he made Bugs here with all the acts he's trying to perform, especially his scat-singing and dancing, much to the scientists’ disapproval.

Also I was so busy with moving n house stuff that I wasn’t able to make Christmas cards this year, despite drawing half a dozen warm ups these last few weeks that were perfect Christmas card material. Ah well, here’s to next year!
