POPEYE Vista Complete
HERE IS THE COMPLETED tribute I done to Fleischers' 1930s animated cartoon Popeye the Sailor, the subject that kindled and kick-started my interst in drawing cartoons, which has never been extinguished.
For a long time, it was very difficult to get a hold of decent prints of the original [and easily the best]----Popeye short subjects put out between 1933 and the War years on dvd format and I had to get imported copies from the USA around a decade ago--they have still never turned up in the UK stores.
Anyway, fantastic cartoon subject in every way, and I am so familiar with this subject I needed absolutely NO reference material for this drawing.
I do not enjoy adapting established Properties , but I owe a heckuva lot to Popeye and the least I can do is a drawing like this, in tribute:
