Looney Tunes background paintings

ComicCrazys was forced to take down the Charles Schulz cartoons I linked to the other day, but here’s another treat: some Looney Tunes background paintings.

It’s a small selection, but includes some great examples, including a few from Maurice Noble, who I think was the finest of all of the Warner Brothers background artists, and defined the look of Chuck Jones’s cartoons almost as much as Chuck Jones himself.

Another great source for Looney Tunes background paintings is the aptly-named Animation Backgrounds blog. Unfortunately none of the posts there are tagged in any useful way, but do a Google search for Warner specific to that blog, and you should be able to find everything.

    There was an amazing graphic element to all the Looney Tunes backgrounds that I absolutely love.

    I love those classic old looney tunes backgrounds. They were always more than just a setting for the characters, they had personality and humour on their own.

    The WB studios boasted the best layout artists in the business. Their interpretation of the director's vision was directly responsible for how these backgrounds were painted.

    Buy this now. You won't regret it. To be honest you cannot beat the services or the people that I have dealt with. I can’t tell you how happy I am with paintings.
