It was time to start on my second project:
REMAKE OF CLASSIC MOVIE POSTERS WITH CLASSIC CARTOON CHARACTERS.
Hannah Barbera
Some visual research needed to be done before starting anything. So the first stop was looking at the geniuses who created so many great cartoons for mine and past generations; Hannah Barbera.
Hanna-Barbera Productions was formed in 1957 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera—two animators from MGM Studios. They left MGM when the studio stopped production on animated films. Hanna and Barbera achieved immediate success on television with The Huckleberry Hound Show in 1958, followed later by the highly popular prime-time series, The Flintstones. Through the next 30 years, Hanna-Barbera produced an astonishing 249 individual cartoon series for television – totaling over 1,200 hours of original episodes.

Hannah-Barbera were the creators of the two awesome and classic cartoons Tom & Jerry and Scooby-Doo.

WHERE ARE YOU?
I remember coming home from school every day at 4pm with my brother, my mum making us a snack, and us enjoying it whilst watching Scooby-Doo and loving it just before it was time to move on to homework. It was the best of times and every day I looked forward to that moment that I shared with my big brother.
Hergé
Tintin
Georges Prosper Remi (22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), better known by the pen name Hergé, was a Belgian comics writer and artist. “Hergé” is the French pronunciation of “RG,” or his initials reversed. His best known and most substantial work is The Adventures of Tintin comic book series, which he wrote and illustrated from 1929 until his death in 1983, leaving the twenty-fourth Tintin adventure Tintin and Alph-Art unfinished. His work remains a strong influence on comics, particularly in Europe. He was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2003.

Growing up with a big brother meant that I grew up with classic cartoons and comic books. And my brother had ALL of the Tintin comic books. And I love them just as much as he did. And now that I am older, and an illustrator. I can appreciate them even more. The shape and form of the lines, the colours, the way the shades are done.
