"YOU DIRTY DEVIL!"
LIMITED EDITION ANIMATION ART ISSUED IN 2003
After appearing in only six Looney Tunes Cartoons,the Tasmanian Devil has done fairly well for himself.Of course,"Taz" was never all that obscure,his one time animated show called "TAZmania",reaffirmed this insatiable,eat-anything-anywhere beast,a huge following of the bad boy of cartoons,which has been a title Taz has occupied for the better part of 50 years.His trade-mark hurricane style of entry,melded with a voracious appetite and ever-present bad attitude has garnered The Devil the personality of someone who has had consecutive bad days their entire life.This creature has given creator Robert McKimson,a huge amount of notoriety.Taz is as much a terror as he is a semi-loveable simpleton,akin to a Quasimoto.Propelled only by hunger,the little guys dialogue is a conglomeration of snaps,snarls,slurps,plus tonally low and slow diatribes.When he speaks it often involves his desire to imbibe and digest Bugs Bunny.Taz's appetite,in fact,has not been satiated since his first cartoon,"Devil May Hare",in 1954.But it is the rough and nasty attitude,minced with the enormous mouth,teeth,broad head with hair which stands upward to look like horns;plus those BIG,eyes,that gives Taz a personae unlike any in cartoons today.Only Bugs can temper him,and at that with usually the most minimal of spent wits.In short,only then,as the old saying goes,does The Devil get his due.
This limited edition was originally rendered by Juan Ortiz.The master was inked by Patrick Owsley,and silk-screened onto acetate with the Clampett Studio Collections Seal Of Authenticity.Each Cel was expertly hand-painted on the reverse,in the classic animation style.Intricate dry-brushing was added by hand to the front of the Cel,to enhance Taz's whirls.The original background was illustrated by artist Hector Martinez and reproduced utilizing a fine art Giclee process.
This Certificate accompanies piece number 76 is in an edition of 100.
