Mad About Cartoons

Bill Wray is trying to make the transition fine art but is known as a cartoonist, a background painter/ Art director and sometimes animation director. This will be the place he post his ocasional animation and cartooning work and also be a place to bitch or wax sentimentally about cartoons in general. It’s been a love and hate relationship for many years and the long journey may not be quite over.

More Samurai Jack




Since I didn't ask permission from Cartoon Network to post the SJ partings, the least I can do is promote the new DVD. Scott also sent along a few more of his BG's. Enjoy--

The Backgrounds are what first drew me to watch Samurai Jack...just revisited the series and I'm still blown away. I'm luck enough to own a couple of SJ BGs...just don't know if they're by you or Scott.
