Flickr Set: Cartoon Modern Yearbook
I made another Flickr set: Cartoon Modern Yearbook. It is a photo collection of the Modernist animation artists who were working during the 1950s. You’ll find images of nearly everybody discussed in CARTOON MODERN: directors, animators, story artists, character designers, layout artists, background painters and even a few important studio owners.
There’s a similar ‘yearbook’ section in my book. Not to take anything away from the book, but I think this particular section works even better online. For one, the images can be shown at a much larger size. Also, as I uncover new photos, I can add them to the set and continue expanding the yearbook until it’s complete. At some point, I’ll go back and add biographical details for each of the artists and link their photos to relevant sites online.




your set is awesome! so that’s how tom oreb looked like.

Aurelius Battaglia does not disappoint with his mad art-scientist look!
