When we break for lunch at these all-day life drawing workshops, I always try to get our workshop leader Corny to talk about cartoons and animation he worked on in the past.

This Sunday he told me about the titles he did for a television show called Mr. Terrific as well as the titles for a feature called With Six You Get Eggroll, directed by Howard Morris.

UPDATE (5/16/08 ): The portraits of the actors are not by Corny. Anyone know who drew them?

UPDATE (5/16/08 ): Upon my most recent visit to the drawing workshop, Corny explained to me further that he originally had his children create the artwork for “With Six” but the producers later decided to use ‘kid art’ done by a professional instead. So the ‘kid art’ in this YouTube clip is actually not what Corny intended. Oh well….
I also learned that Corny designed the aardvark in DePatie-Freleng’s television cartoon The Ant and the Aardvark.

awesome videos of corny’s stuff! thanks for sharing! great to finally see what he’s worked on to go along with all his stories : ) you drawings are great too- i like the dog sketches a lot!!
Thanks Daisy - isn’t YouTube amazing? I wish I could find more of Corny’s commercial work though - those will take some serious detective work…
This dog was tougher to draw - the only time he stayed still was when he slept, haha.
Corny is a genius.
Oscar Grillo is also a genius. I had the great pleasure of working with Corny at Duck Soup Produckions in Santa Monica CA in the 1980’s and I was always captivated by his drawing. I frequently watched a commercial sample reel that the studio had of Oscar Grillo’s work and held him in the highest regard as draftsman and timing genius. Thanks gentlemen for your dedication and love of the art form.
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
