RALPH BAKSHI. Original Art, unsigned. B/w, 5x8. Pencil drawing and
study of a cartoon character. Animator and filmmaker Ralph Bakshi began his
career at the age of 18 as a cell painter for Terrytoons Animation Studio. He
quickly became an animator, working on such characters as Mighty Mouse, Heckle
and Jeckle and Deputy Dog. After becoming a Creative Director for CBS, Bakshi
created and wrote The Mighty Heroes before moving to Paramount Cartoon
Studios, where he did four animated theatricals: Marvin Digs, Mini
Squirts, Super Basher and Bop and The Fiendish Five. In 1971,
he created, wrote and directed his controversial Fritz the Cat, an
animated feature that was touted as "the first X-rated animated cartoon". Bakshi
followed it with even more controversial animated features: Heavy Traffic
(1973) and Coonskin (1975). In 1977, he turned to the safer realm of
science fiction, creating, writing, directing and producing Wizards and
later directing an animated version of Lord of the Rings (1978), using a
rotoscoping technique to animate realistic characters. The multi-talented Bakshi
has also created and directed live action shorts and TV movies and directed
The Harlem Shuffle, a Rolling Stones music video. Fine
condition.
