TODAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF TEX AVERY'S DEATH...29 YEARS AGO (HE DIED IN 1980). AVERY'S WORK ON LOONY TUNES WAS A GREAT INFLUENCE ON MY DRAWING AS A KID - TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT SCALE, ANIMATING THE FORM TO SHOW MOVEMENT AND EXPLOITING CARICATURE. I'D LOVE TO SHOW YOU SOME EXAMPLES, UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T YET SCANNED THE MANY DRAWING I DID FOR MY FATHER WHEN I WAS YOUNG. THERE MUST BE AROUND 40 - 50 FINISHED DRAWINGS IN HIS POSESSION. I MUST DO THAT THE NEXT TIME I'M BACK IN HAWKES BAY.
