Hillbilly Bugs 1950 in the Ozarks Tribute art. Acrylic on wood
Ready to Square dance!? Chuck Jones was a square dancing fool.. hee hee Really.
The special features on my CD set talks about Chuck Jones enjoying a square dance or two during the lunch hour. What he puts these two through - with his song - you must listen to the words to appreciate the talent. Note Bugs has no whiskers in this painting & he did not during the production. Later, I heard Chuck mention (special features) "...if he was lucky - on a big budget- Bugs might get three whiskers... maybe 2." lol - I guess this was low budget. You wounld'nt know it from the non stop action.
I was a fan of Hillbillies because of this cartoon, it still makes me laugh, bugs at his best in his finest. How easily they dropped their guns for fun! Swing yer partner round & round. This painting is also a tiny tribute to PRIDE (note the rainbow decor hanging in the dance hall). Bugs bunny was one of the first crossdressing (Trans) characters to hit the animated screen & he did it so elegantly. Usually, dressing as a female to fool some "fool' who is easily distracted by a pretty woman. Bugs knew the power of a beautiful Woman. He also 'fell for a beautiful dame' several times. Bugs knew how to have a good time. Chuck Jones was aware the transgender community loved Bugs & what He/She represented to them and he was more than happy with it. Bugs was happiest in whatever 'skin' he was in.
My displeasure for Hillbillies' came later due to the movie representation in 'Deliverance & later 'The Hills have eyes. Which I regret watching. Like watching negative news, the 'only negative' stereotype doesn't help with an often true representation of a large community..
I never thought of it as negative then or now. Frankly, I didn't give it much thought... other than it appeared very enjoyable, except for the Hillbillies fate, a pool of mud or a bale of hay - always surviving to dance the next step. We had square dancing in elementary school - I loved it.
Painting this I can think of a few times I pondered: 'Not my body, not my business.'
I was always amused & envious to see how easily Bugs would become his beautiful, brilliant female half. Being Trans, Gay, a crossdressing hare never occurred negative to me & still doesn't. It's creative genius. If anything plastic surgery that people do to themselves makes me upset - but again... not my body not my business. I wish everyone would accept & love themselves as God created.
All Love - Any Love is to be celebrated. Love Thy Neighbour - Can you see it?
Pride month is a good reminder 'love is love', there are countless incidents where we should be concerned & none of them should be with each other, who cause no harm or simply for how they choose to represent themselves or who they love. Not my body not my business.
Happy Saturday! If you are fortunate enough to celebrate love - or square dance- enjoy!
I already have the next for the collection sketched, it's a tear jerker. Can you guess?
No Bugs.
Another fan (& friend) sent me a message that made me giggle after I hinted at my painting on Instagram, It's below... & NO, they don't make them' like that anymore!
Too bad.
