Cartoon Modern free ebook

Amid Amidi has made his out of print book Cartoon Modern free to download as a PDF. Great book full of images and history from this 1950s era of abstract design, a reaction to the more realistic Disney style. Details are in his newsletter here. https://animationobsessive.substack.com/p/our-treat-to-you

ohhhh I love that era it's such a great inspiration!

Bob Harper

I was honored that he included me in the special thanks, as he and I discussed this era of art at great lengths. So glad that this is available digitally as my hardcopy is to valuable to open any longer.

I’m not surprised, Bob. You’ve always got great insights to share here as well!

Karen "Kay" Ross

Fantastic resource, thanks for sharing! This is actually super-timely for me since one of the shorts on our slate for next year has this era's esthetic. Love the look!
