@prudensvulpes requested Sora with Dylan Hollis' energy where he has his own cooking channel! Thank you so much for your patience! And this was alot of fun to do! I used Dylan Hollis' "Fake Apple Pie" tiktok (shortened to certain moments and some moved around for comedic effect!). I hope you like it and thank you again :)!

And here's a bonus sketch because I couldn't resist drawing Sora's face lighting up the same way Dylan Hollis' does when a recipe is actually good!:

Do you own any Looney Tunes production art?

i’m incredibly fortunate enough to say that I DO!! i own this wonderful photostat model sheet from Porky the Wrestler!

a photostat is essentially the ‘30s equivalent of a photocopy, so it’s not THE actual model sheet drawing, but it was still in the hands of at least one of the animators who worked on the short! if you hold it at a certain angle and get the light to reflect off of it, there are actually some indentations of writing, as if someone was writing on a piece of paper on top of it… and of course the hooves and side snout drawn in marker which aren’t meant to be there (maybe it was a slow work day?)

i actually still haven’t gotten it framed, i need to… but i also just really enjoy being able to hold it in my hands and try and make out the writing indentations on top and also lose my mind at Oh My God Someone In The Tex Avery Unit Touched This At One Point. plus, the material is glossy/has a cardboard sort of feel to it (like a more sturdy printed photograph) so it’s not as delicate as animation paper and gets along fine sitting on my shelf as is HAHA. still, definitely want to find a proper means of displaying it sometime!

Tibet : ricordi d'un tempo felice

Una sorta di breve introduzione, dal significativo titolo Tibet: ricordi di un tempo felice, e 16 ritratti fotografici di tibetani - uomini, donne, vecchi, bambini, monaci, laici - compongono questo particolarissimo album firmato da Fosco Maraini. Si tratta dunque di un felice omaggio che uno dei più noti e raffinati conoscitori di quei luoghi e di quelle popolazioni ha voluto offrire a un popolo e a tradizioni culturali ormai estinte. Le fotografie, infatti, risalgono ai tempi delle spedizioni che nel 1937 e nel 1948 l'autore ha compiuto in quelle terre con Giuseppe Tucci e ci restituiscono per immagini l'incanto e la suggestione di un luogo, il Tibet, prima della barbara invasione cinese, dall'identità perduta.
