Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

Back in June I linked to a series of 3D Yogi Bear ViewMaster slides and wished that the scans included some Flintstones. My prayers have been answered by Brian Butler who has not only scanned in some Flintstones ViewMaster slides, but has made animated GIFs transitioning between both the left and right stereoscopic images, creating a glasses-free approximation of the slides’ 3D effect.

Animator Donnachada Daly has been turning his fluid drawings into stereoscopic 3D images using the “Magic Eye” technique. Fun! He’s compiling the images into a book with the clever title Depth Charge.

Love love LOVE the various scans of 3D Hanna-Barbera ViewMaster slides over at Bob Logan’s blog. I only wish there were some Flintstones samples!

Jerry at Cartoon Brew notes that Disney will be re-releasing Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in Disney Digital 3D in October (trailer here).

Until then, however, you need to check out the 3D stereograph photos (bust out those red-and-blue glasses, kids!) taken on set by animator Joel Fletcher.

You know, for an animated movie that’s nearly 15 years old, Nightmare really has legs — especially in this age of CGI-or-Bust. The film has spawned its own prolific mini marketing machine of branded merchandise and toys that seems stronger today than at the time of the film’s release, and now with this timely re-release, maybe we can expect more Skellington goods.

I am a huge sucker for 3D movies and 3D comics. As a kid, I would buy whatever 3D comics I could find. The man behind the stereoscopic conversion of most of these comics is Ray Zone, a man who could have no other possible career with a name like that. This post is the result of the purchase of the latest issue of Nickelodeon Magazine, which is a 3D issue featuring some 3D comics and illustrations by many artists previously mentioned on Drawn! including John Kerschbaum, Craig Thompson, Michel Gagné, and Drew Weing.
