Original Cartoon Posters March 2010 DRAFT 3

As anyone who’s known me for more than a few minutes is well aware, I like posters. Too much.

The 60’s was pretty much the end of the useful commercial poster (though in some cities, transit posters will occasionally still work) but in the last 40 years the limited edition art poster has been alive and well. My ad agency made more posters than they were sometimes comfortable with, and when I got into cartoon biz my habit continued unabated. At Frederator our bank account slows us up quite a bit, but I can be persuasive in convincing our partners that it’s a really good idea for them.

Now that there are a lot of easy ways to publish books on demand on the internet, I’m starting to go a little book crazy. The latest one up, edited by Eric and me, is a collection of our posters. You can see the latest draft up above, and it should be available on Amazon next month. Next, title cards and the latest postcards.

By the way, here’s the description I’m going to putting on Amazon. If any of you have a better way to do it, please let me know. I’m eager to hear what you think.

Original Cartoon Posters collects a dozen years of the Frederator Studios limited edition poster releases.

Since 1998, Frederator has been America’s leading independent cartoon producer, with smash hits like ‘The Fairly OddParents’, ‘Fanboy & Chum Chum’, and ‘Adventure Time’, and the big idea cartoon incubators What A Cartoon!, Oh Yeah! Cartoons, and Random! Cartoons. Showcased here for the first time, you’ll find rarities like private staff editions, comic convention promotions, and one-off digital giveaways.
