Whatever it is, I'm excited! I love Daffy!

david said...

Jim, if the word on the street is correct, I think i know what it's for and i'm a glad you're apart of it. I'm sure all the work you're doing on it is going to be kick-ass!

Jimbo said...

David you have a way of cheering me up.

Jimbo said...

James, Daffy is the most funnest character with the exception of Beaky Buzzard, Porky, Pete Puma, etc. Daffy went through more changes than any other character.

love this color sketch!

Ricardo Cantoral said...

Funniest picture of Daffy in over 50 years.

Secret project ? Is this another revival attempt ?

Jimbo said...

Thank you Jeremy and Rick - welcome to the old feed store and blog.

Ricardo Cantoral said...

Um...okay.

Jimbo said...

Rick, actually it's so secret I'm not allowed to know about it. We are doing some new Looney Tunes for TV with all the old gang.

Eric Noble said...

You're working on the Looney Tunes now!? Hot diggity daffodil. THis is going to be FANTASTIC! By the way, hilarious drawing. You draw a very appealing Daffy. I love it.

Ricardo Cantoral said...

Glad you're aboard Jim. I pray everything that's good in pre-production will end up on screen.

Jimbo said...

Thanks Weirdo I hope it lasts for awhile so I can save some money and get a house and do stuff like that. I never get tired of theses characters but would love to finish the Testaclese comic. It's only 12 pages but is taking forever.

Nubian Greene said...

wait it this looney tunes thing serious or is everyone joking....

Jimbo said...

Sorry Nubian, I know it all sounds like a joke but we are doing new Looney Tunes. That sketch was just a doodle from an idea from a concept based on a treatment... there I go again being semi-funny. The show is really in production - this is my first week on staff. It is the original characters , not Tiny or Toony or Loony, though I did work on the early Tiny Toons and it was a blast. Many of the people who went to Spumco were on that show, including: Bob Camp, Lynne Naylor, Chris Reccardi, Jim Gomez, Eddie Fitzgerald, Mike Fontanelli, Rich Pursell, and many more.

Ricardo Cantoral said...

I hope this time Warners will exploit the Looney Tunes as characters with individual personalities and not just talking heads spewing catch phrases.

I think the only revival that was done decently was the Greg Ford produced films and shorts during the late 80's to early 90's. Greg understood very much was, and is, a fan of these characters and has genuine respect for them.

Jimbo said...

Rick I am not holding my breath, but there's always hope.Your comments are most welcome.

James Sugrue said...

Hey Jim,
I am an animator and I've been a big fan of the Looney Tunes (especially Daffy) for quite some time.I would love to be involved in this production in anyway possible. Are there opportunities for this project? Here are two links to my work.

Thanks for always inspiring me.

Jimbo said...

Actually James I know very little about the openings here, I am trying to get some work for friends and fellow artists but it's slow. Try the website for WB there's a site with job listings but offhand I don't know the name of it.

James Sugrue said...

Thank you so much Jim!
