Paintings/drawings for The Iron Giant (1999) by art-director Mark Whiting

Check out this article that Tony Cervone and I were interviewed for about the crazy path that “Duck Dodgers” took to become a show on Cartoon Network. We were interviewed about this project at length, but given the space allowed, many of the stories and people we mentioned were not able to be included in this article, but still a fun read that provides insight into the creation of the show. Lots of stories yet to be told. Link to "Duck Dodgers" Cracked.com Article.

In "The Trial of Duck Dodgers," the first episode of the "Duck Dodgers" TV show, we did an illustrated introduction to explain Dodger’s backstory. We used illustrations, View-Master style, and narration to establish his origin as a captain of the Galactic Protectorate. This is one of the layout drawings for that sequence.
