Some starting sketches I did for the Lackadaisy Ingenue mini episode as we were first conceptualizing it. (Some of which appeared in the end credits.) Also, the "photo" of Atlas, Mordecai, Viktor, Ruby, and young Ivy featured in the episode. I did the initial sketch, but Julian Hughes did the polished art, with background painted by Jill Dykxhoorn. Art direction by Jo Schramer. --------------- Just wanted to issue a big thanks to the Lackadaisy cast and crew for working their magic, translating a smattering of doodles and a script into something much more than that!

For the interested and curious, I’ll once again be putting some original Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne production artwork on eBay– probably the last of it! Starting this coming weekend (the 28th or 29th), I’ll first be posting auctions for some non-B&M stuff, like Dead Meat props and collectibles from other animated shows I didn’t work on. Then it’s on to the Grimmiverse. The goal is to drum up enough money to cover my mortgage for a few months while I try to outlast the studio drought.

It’s been… a year. I lost my job to studio cuts (but am still cool enough to get scraped by MidJourney), had a flood requiring expensive repairs, some cat emergencies, a small fire, and a dash of skin cancer. It’s all been a bit excessive, if you ask me. I’m not a person who spends much, but this has definitely been one of the more expensive years of my life. And all without an income! It’s amazing how fast things start to come apart when there’s no money holding it together.

Anyway, this is probably your best (and maybe final?) shot at getting your hands on some Billy & Mandy production artwork, some other original hand-drawn animation art, some fun cartoon collectibles, a few hand-crafter post apocalyptic movie props, and SUNDRIES!

Everyone loves a sundry.

When I’m going through this stuff, I end up taking a lot of photos of the art and memorabilia. Those end up on my Instagram, so check ‘em out there too. I’ll also be posting some new Halloweeny artwork there during October!

If you want the deep dive on all of the artwork (I’ll be posting some full storyboards soon) please check out the Patreon.

Demurely yours,

Maxwell

Concept art by Harley Jessup for RETURN TO OZ (1985). Dare I use the word—“underrated”?

It wasn’t until today that I realized that two of my all-time favorite movies are Oz adaptations: THE WIZ (1978), and this unusually dark film, a sequel of sorts to THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939).
