Background by Joseph Holt

Layout artist and background painter Joseph Holt has started a new blog featuring loads of his production artwork from from the late-’90s through today. There is work from Mission Hill, The Oblongs, Time Squad, and My Life as a Teenage Robot, among other productions. I particularly like the work he did on Meddlen Meadows (posted above), which was a short made within the Cartoonstitute Shorts Program at Cartoon Network. Holt says on the blog that he’s also been creating visual development for Symbiotic Titan, a series being produced by The Orphanage Animation Studios for Cartoon Network.

    A breath of fresh air from the post below. And a perfect example of work that no computer will ever be able to replace. Thanks for sharing this!

    Joe and I worked on Time Squad together, and it was always a thrill to see his interpretations of different periods of history. I love the way he varies line and tone to render his backgrounds, rather than just a dead contour.

    I thought I read a couple months ago that The Orphanage was shutting down.

    Trevor- The Orphanage FX house in SF is the one that shut down; Genndy’s LA-based Orphanage Animation is still in business.
