Happy Birthday, John

If John Lennon were still alive today he would have turned 84 years old yesterday... Paul McCartney posted this pic from a recent concert of his and wrote "Happy Birthday John. Thanks for being there."

My sister in law sent me a picture of John Lennon with his son Sean, both of them celebrating their birthdays which were coincidentally on the same day - - and I couldn't help adding myself crashing the party!!


Happy Birthday John!!

I just eee-LOVE that skwoo-wheee WABBIT!!

Just some random model sheets to brighten your day of my favorite cartoon character of all time - - and a naked Elmer Fudd, because - well - - WHY NOT?...





The artist:


Hats off to Jim Soper - the character designer for the latest incarnation of our Looney Tunes favorites. I like the obvious harkening back to the Warner Bros Bob Clampett hey-day, and little touches which are just (chef's kiss) moo-whah!! The yellow gloves on Bugs - - Elmer's red nose...

and of course the truly daffy, Daffy!!






and of course this would be a perfect time to mention Daffy and Porky Pig in their very first ever full motion picture, The Day The Earth Blew Up - - yep, you heard right, mister!! - - keep an eye out for THAT!!
