DON'T FORGET TO BE STUPID, HONEY

I'm finding old paintings from 20 years ago that I have forgotten about but just LOVE!
This one is owned by a friend.

DESIRE

A painting that I did for a show about 20 years ago in LA.

Camp Lazlo Development

Jelly Cabin
This was one of my favorite paintings that I did for Joe Murray when we were working on the development for Camp Lazlo. He told me to do whatever I wanted with his sketches. Joe and I were big fans and collectors of kitsch 50s furniture and fabrics. I picked up some great 50s fabric on our travels and decided to design the look around those patterns. The colors and graphics were very simple and beautiful. I thought a yellow sky would be great with the comical nature of the show, and give the backgrounds the look of vignettes similar to 50s graphics.

This was one of the BGs of Lumpus' cabin used for the pilot.

Hey Arnold Pilot

This was left on my desk one day when I was Art Directing the Hey Arnold Pilot.

We didn't know it at the time, but that would be one of the last shows produced on the original Hanna Barbera lot.
