Chuck Jones at the OC

Animation art exhibition opens new library

ComicMix friend (and my first husband) Steve Chaput reports that the Orange Public Library & History Center (in Orange California) where he works, has just opened its doors featuring an art exhibition called Read To Succeed®, sponsored by the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity and Orange Public Library.

The exhibition includes original, hand‑painted animation cels which have never before been available for public viewing, and will be on display through mid-September.

The press release mentions of Jones, "A voracious reader himself, Chuck relished the opportunity to sketch and paint a variety of colorful works showing Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Tweety, Pepé Le Pew, and other characters finding knowledge, fun, and adventure in the pages of books."
