Watched a great doc on the great Stan Lee yesterday and sketched him as a warm-up before cutting into freelance. I liked it so much I inked it up and colored it.

You’re the best Stan! Thanks for all the comics, heroes, and all you’ve had a hand in creating.

Excelsior!

Finally putting my Moleskin to good use… or am I putting it thru hell? Either way, this was a fun little piece to carve out in there! Some Mighty B fo’ my Homey Erik Wiese (who co-created the show w/ Amy Poehler)!

no photoshop manipulation on it at all (except for watermarking the bottom w/ my blog addy). :P

straight up paint markers, permanent markers, color markers and even a dry erase marker there too. It must’ve gotten me HiiiigggggGhhHHH, cause those colors are cray. and a gel pen for the glasses. ;)

Eraserhead by David Lynch

One of my favorite films of all time directed by one of my favorite directors.

I’m diggin’ these a bunch.

Getting closer to Joe Barbera!

Time to throw some Hanna Barbera in the BG and rock this Hanna Barbarian out!

Here’s an Original Cartoon Heroes sketch study of Joe Barbera of Hanna Barbera. It’s been tough trying to capture his likeness, as this one can attest to.

Close, but no cigar Janovsky.

Back to the drawing board!

Here’s a super secret sneak peek at the latest Original Cartoon Hero I’m cookin’ up in the Jeaux labs!

fred-lunch-break:

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.

For those of you not in the know, I’ve been working on a dream freelance project w/ Fred Seibert of Frederator on a postcard tribute series, named Original Cartoon Heroes.
Fred & I came up with a list of Animation Legends, and I’m very proud to pay tribute & give homage to these Greats in my style.
Above you will see my studies for Ralph Bakshi. The only one of the list who is still with us, still painting, still drawing, still stirring the Animation stew (and adding a lot of pepper and hot sauce while he’s at it!)
Ralph Bakshi is a hero of mine, and I am pleased to say that he’s using an early incarnation of my Original Cartoon Heroes tributes as his personal Facebook Avatar still! For that, I am honored beyond belief!
I can’t wait to share the new version I’ve done w/ him!

Thank you Ralph.

Thank you Fred.

Thanks to Cartoons.

-Jeaux Janovsky, a true Original
