Powerpuff Painting Tutorial - "West In Pieces"


 I recently came across one of Erin Green's "Replicating Background Art" videos using one of my Powerpuff BG Designs as the example. This particular episode of The Powerpuff Girls was the LAST of the Season and the LAST of the Series until it was revived with a new look several years later. "West In Pieces" is very special to me because it was my last time working on the beloved series and a wonderful collaboration with storyboard artist extraordinaire, Chris Reccardi, and Master Background Painter, Chris Roszak. I won a Primetime Emmy for Individual Achievement in Background Design for this and the following year for my designs on Juniper Lee. This is notable, because I had just returned from the war in Iraq after 9/11 and won these 2 Emmys with a renewed passion for the art and design. 

Thank you Erin, for reminding me of the wonderful time I shared with Craig, Gennedy, Chris Reccardi, Roszak, Battle and Andy Bialk on that show. Cartoon Network was an amazing place to work. 

 

Here is a link to Erin's Video. Thanks for referencing my "Stink Lines" Erin!!
