HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Here, to celebrate this special day, an encore presentation of backgounds from LONESOME GHOSTS.
What a boo-tiful haunted house!
The office interior was a challenge - Mickey, Donald and Goofy were animated all over that B/G. The patchwork quilt approach worked to recreate this, one section at a time.
Hope you have a great Halloween.
Happy trick or treats!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Here's an ALICE B/G unlike any I've ever created. As Alice walks down the path, the foreground lighting fades and the upper left is lit. It's a wonderful effect.
I've composited both sections together, and of course Alice was intentionally vaporized.
The multiplane cameramen might have seen this during a lighting test. But here it is, now presented for the ANIMATION BACKGROUND audience for the very first time.

ALICE'S SEAT: The Un-Birthday Tea Party

ALICE IN WONDERLAND: Horsefly
CHIP AND DALE: Chip an' Dale (1947)
Here is a re-created pan background from "Chip an' Dale" (1947). One chipmunk couldn't be edited out as he never leaves that spot! Just think of him as today's "guest star." I've included some additional B/Gs from the same film. As it was 100 degrees in Los Angeles today (Al Gore might be right), thinking of snow is a refreshing idea!
Marvelous textures are created in the snow (icy shades of blue), wood grains, and brickwork in front of the fireplace.
Chill...

Did I Ever Mention...
... that if you double-click on the artwork pictures, you'll get a larger version? Most of you probably figured this out, but I thought it was important enough to mention specifically.
I am really committed to my blog and you, the readers! I ordinarily post artwork daily. Saturday was the rare day I missed, as I was playing a concert in Pittsburgh. So tonight, after arriving back in Los Angeles, I posted twice.
Enjoy!
