Tribute painting..
I decided to paint some tribute art for my studio.
A scene from: Duck Dodgers in the 24th & 1/2 century! Inspired from Buck Rogers - to which I do remember seeing on television when just a tot. Created years before I was born, I remember watching re-runs with my grandmother. From start to finish this animated cartoon is one of my favourites for countless reasons - including Marvin the Martian. The colours are vibrant and bold, perfect for Planet X with X shaped trees.
Warner brother cartoons are quite educational, seeing them as a child and watching now, I’m amazed at the different perspective, classical music appreciation, character & social references depicting the times & how they are simply (genius) funny - visually as well as verbally. These cartoons encouraged my curiosity at an early age for vocabulary - "Indubitably! " I can hear those two goofy gophers now from: Bone for a bone. Daffy also says it when asked if he can go on this mission.
In Duck Dogers- both Daffy & Marvin want to claim the planet for themselves on behalf of Earth & Mars… both in the process destroy planet X. Ending of course with diehard Daffy professing the planet belongs to Earth! Porky remarks: BIG DEAL, as they all hang from what remains, threads. There were several cartoons along this line- including Bugs going to the moon.
What do riches/property mean if we lose all else in the process?
Daffy taught me this lesson very early in life & I am still grateful almost 60 years later.
Watch any classic cartoons lately? I’m working on another that manages to put a smile on my face every time.
Keep warm!
