Check out our new retail website...

Thanks guys. It's funny how this site has worked. A week ago, we were in the lower 1,000s on the Google listing when you type in "animation art." Now we're below 200. So we're slowly creeping up with each hit on the site.

I also had to plug in a mess of SEO-verbiage in the meta-tag section of the website which seemed to help.

If you guys are interested in any of these pieces, we have a free framing promotion running through December.

Terry H: despite what people say about "Coal Black" as racist or unfairly displaying stereotypes, the cartoon was one of the first to employ all black voice and music talent. For example, Vivian Dandridge played So White, and Ruby Dandridge played Queenie, both of whom were name stars of the day. Clampett went down to the black nightclubs in South L.A. to research and recruit the musical talent.

The cartoon has received praise from many personalities, including Whoopi Goldberg.

Yeah, from what I read they were developed for adults and not meant for Saturday morning children's viewing from the start. Cartoons are naturally caricatures and over the top in every way shape and form.
