Original Cartoon Heroes: Book Research

Screw the internet, we're going OLD School Technology.

Books!

Out of the Inkwell: Max Fleischer
This is a great read.


King of Cartoons: Tex Avery
Had a tough time finding this doozy. Thankfully, Fred scored me a copy. :)


My Life in Toons: Joe Barbera
Read this a few years ago, it was pretty good then. I'm sure a re-read will prove it's still holds up.


A Cast of Friends: Bill Hanna
Looking forward to reading this one.


Signed! found in the library! :(

I tried out the snazzy new Tumblr photoset layouts over at the Lunch Break blog. If you wanna check em out, click here: http://lunchbreak.frederator.com/post/7695101407/testing-out-the-new-tumblr-photoset-layouts-w

Original Cartoon Heroes: "Tex Avery" Behind the Art


Doing research on Tex Avery for Original Cartoon Heroes, and I cannot for the life of me find any good photos of him online. Too small, or he's looking away from the camera. I even tried my local library branch, but the 2 books I needed are in Reference and not available for check out. Bummed!
Luckily, Fred is ordering me the books off of Amazon! Thanks Fred! :)
In the meantime, here are a few studies of Tex I did.
