Shane Glines' Cartoon Retro

jaroindex

My friend Scott has been telling me to check out a new subscription-based website published by Shane Glines. Glines is an animation character designer and one of my favorite illustrators. He worked for Spumco (the studio that made Ren & Stimpy) and on the Batman animated series.

Glines describes his new site, Cartoon Retro, as being "devoted to celebrating and exploring the largely forgotten work of great artists, cartoonists, illustrators, photographers, filmmakers, actors, musicians and industrial designers from what, in my opinion, was the peak of American culture: approximately 1925 through 1939." In addition, Shane posts some of his own work on the site, too

I just signed-up, and am blown away with all the great stuff available. If you are at all interested in the art from this era (like I am), the $5 / month fee is well worth it. I hope enough people sign up to convince him to keep up the great work. Link
