Concepts for CRITTERS (1986). Remember the bounty hunters? One looked like Pat Sharp (dated reference). His hair was a sight to behold: the top and bottom went on long after his face had ended, I couldn't stop looking at it. Actually I don't even remember the other bounty hunter.



Animation art from the very first Tom & Jerry cartoon, PUSS GETS THE BOOT (1940).



Alien races from the Marvel universe. (Again these are from the 1983 handbook.) There are many more of course; I just picked the ones that I thought looked cool.





Cartoon by John O'Brien for NEW YORKER magazine, 1991.

Animation art from the very first Tom & Jerry cartoon, PUSS GETS THE BOOT (1940).

Transgender synth pioneer, Wendy Carlos (1939). She composed the TRON score-one of my favorites. She also composed music for A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and THE SHINING (you remember the main theme & Rocky Mountains). Much more commercially successful perhaps was SWITCHED-ON BACH (1968).

Italian artist, Dino Buzzati (1906-1972). 1963.

Concept art by Claire Keane for unmade Disney feature, MORT.

Zombie designs by William Stout for RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1984).

Art from the Rankin/Bass version of THE HOBBIT (1977).

Illustrations by Tove Jansson for a Swedish edition of THE HOBBIT. 1962.

Halloween card by Jack Davis. 1959.

Art by Iwao Takamoto (1925-2007). After working for Disney (where he assisted Marc Davis & Milt Kahl), Takamoto went on to work at Hanna-Barbera, where he designed the Scooby-Doo gang, among others. Image 1 shows his pitch art for that show, 2 is pitch art for Penelope Pitstop.
