Christmas Greetings from Tom Oreb
(click on image for full version)
A rather Calder-esque Christmas card (ca. late-1950s) that designer Tom Oreb drew for his mother and sisters. The “From Tom and Pablo” signature refers to Oreb’s cat, who was named Pablo.
Cartoon Modern will be back after the New Year. There’s lots of great updates planned for this blog, and the book will be released next year as well. 2006 promises to be an excellent year of animation design goodness.
Love it!!!

Thank you! thank you! thank you!!! I’m so glad I found your blog.
I’m a sound engineer and a big fan of 50s animation and graphics, I can’t describe with my “mutilated” english (I speak spanish) how happy I’m about knowing that from now on I’ll have the chance to study and learn from you, your excellent blog, and your intelligent links criteria (I almost surfed all of them)
Thanks again and have a great year!!
PS: of course I’m pre-ordering the book!!
