A little piece of my work that got to travel by mail. 🥕📬

The USPS stamp I painted celebrating Bugs Bunny’s 80th birthday—a special highlight of my years working with the Looney Tunes characters.

One more Looney Tunes Cartoons post — let’s keep riding the Looney wave! 🦆✨

I absolutely loved working on this Daffy Duck short. Here’s one of my color scripts, along with a clip from the finished animation. Daffy is always so much fun — endless opportunities to push the color, lighting, mood and comedy.

It was made by the Soviet Union. It’s not like most people know what the Soviet Union is today either.

Reading the comments on this post told me everything I need to know about art.

So many of you wrote to say you felt the exact same thing I did standing in front of the Starry Night. That strange pull, the sense that the painting is somehow alive...

It turns out the feeling is completely universal.

I am not someone who gets emotional easily. But every so often a piece of art really gets to me. And that is exactly what happened the first time i walked up to Van Gogh's magnum opus. I know how that sounds, it is one of the most famous paintings on earth, almost a cliché to be moved by it. But maybe it is that famous for a reason...

It genuinely looks like it is moving while you stand there, shifting in a way I cannot explain and have never seen in any of the thousands of paintings I have looked at in my life.

The same day I took the photo below, I also filmed this short video. It still comes nowhere near the real thing, but you can at least catch a little more of it here, the thick ridges of paint, the way the stars and swirls lift right off the canvas. This technique is called "impasto", from the Italian for mixture. It means paint laid on so thickly that every brushstroke and ridge stays visible on the surface. Van Gogh piled it on with a loaded brush, building the stars up thick so they would blaze as bright as possible against the dark.

But no video and no explanation of technique can really convey what it feels like to stand in front of it. And the fact that so many of you felt the very same thing says something true about what art is really for. Tolstoy said it best:

"The receiver of a true artistic impression is so united to the artist that he feels as if the work were his own and not someone else’s, as if what it expresses were just what he had long been wishing to express. A real work of art destroys, in the consciousness of the receiver, the separation between himself and the artist. In this uniting of it with others lies the great attractive force of art."

Still love seeing these paintings come to life. And if you didn’t see Coyote vs. Acme, see it this weekend!
