The woeful curse of being a golden age cartoon fan…

This started as an appreciation for Bob Clampett giving Daffy silly, oversized outfits early on, and ended as an ode to his ephemeral strength of combining cute-'n-sadistic. #looneytunes #daffyduck #bobclampett #art

I found a portion of my reference folder!! "Camera movements" "camera trouble" reminding me I was thinking of suggesting how to emulate some of the botched double exposure effects and camera jitter in some of these early cartoons haha oh man

Watching this one on TV right now and just wanted to express how good it is!! It’s so rewarding to be able to appreciate it all over again with the knowledge of cartoons (and Sponge cartoons!) I have now. I was so excited to explain this joke to my mom when we watched the OG film when I was younger

And I got to design the title card! My memory's sadly a bit fuzzy on all the influences I used, but I'm pretty sure I used some Laurel and Hardy title cards as inspiration for design elements (and Our Gang/Little Rascals, of course!)

I had a ton of fun emulating a lot of quirks of the time--impact lines, doing the effects a bit more "crudely" than how I usually would, shadows where applicable, and we got to use a lot of irises and feather wipess, which I love! I love getting to combine my passions and knowledge like this

Here's a bit cut from Li'l Pastcals! This was a really special episode to work on, because I actually got to give a little presentation on how to emulate that Fleischer cartoon look. Here, I thought it'd be fun to channel the 2D/3D setbacks--it was cut for time and logistics, but still SO FUN to do!

NEW PATRICK STAR SHOW EPISODES TONIGHT AT 6PM!! See Haw and Li’l Past-scals, both extremely boomer-ish episodes and some of my favorites for that reason. Golden age of animation fans (which, if you're following me, is probably the lot of you) may be particularly interested in the latter! 👀

Years of people drawing art for me of Daffy and SpongeBob hanging out has finally culminated into this moment

This makes me so happy to hear!!! What a great tradition, I'm so happy you've been enjoying it!! The feeling of inspiration is mutual, everyday I'm flabbergasted and so grateful to be among so many creative giants!! I'm so so happy to hear it could inspire you to draw, that's so special!!

Saturday the 14th cat of bad luck may have been an accidental omen... but at least he's cute!

Oh man, I can only imagine!! Plus, I'm sure there's a law somewhere that states anything and everything is innately better with puppets, which absolutely rings true for this! Always a bonus when the lifeline is as memorable and fun as it is here!

Spotted this questionable and somewhat intimate mousepad yesterday

A mousepad with Winnie the Pooh as the hand rest, lying with his hands behind his head and his belly out

Krabs vs Plankton and the World of Friendship song!! I'd forgotten that bit from Pick Patrick's Path (SUCH a great episode) went viral though, even better!!

🦆 Eliza Herndon! 🦆 @ducktwacy.bsky.social · Sep 5

Pardon the humble brag, I swear it's out of gratitude but it's very weird and exciting and awesome and crazy that at least two Patrick Show bits I've worked on have gone viral, and weird and exciting and awesome and crazy to get updates from irl friends that saw said bits making the rounds again

And the “bird sort of character” dialogue is just how I sound trying to pitch my storyboards

This is, honest and truly, what it feels like cleaning up my storyboards 99% of the time
