Biography: Jack Davis

[VinceB]

A while back, Will Finn, in his excellent blog small room wrote about the decline in drawing quality of Chuck Jones' later work for the animation art market. He offers an interesting theory that perhaps Jones' strength lay in his depiction of personality in motion, and when he chose to focus on static images, his work lost its energy. The fickle nature of the creative spirit is better discussed by artists than by archivists, so I'm not going to add to what Will has said. But I'm going to offer an example from the comic world of a similar nature... Jack Davis.

Damn…no URL found…I remember as a kid and watching Tom And Jerry and always being annoyed at the Chuck Jones stuff and hoping that a Tex Avery joint was on the way.
