Of the countless millions of websites floating around the Internet, there is
only one which I’ve ever felt compelled to pay a monthly subscription fee for
and that is Shane Glines’ CartoonRetro.com. After months of eager anticipation,
CartoonRetro launched last June and I’m pleased to report that the site is
everything I had hoped it would be and much more. CartoonRetro, simply put, is a
daily source of visual inspiration and education. Every weekday Shane posts rare
high-quality artwork from the greatest cartoonists and illustrators of the 1920s
and 1930s. One day it might be the beautiful children’s book illustrations of
Vernon Grant, the following day a vintage magazine piece about the art of
caricature by William Auerbach Levy, and the next a collection of ESQUIRE spot
illustrations by Roy Nelson. Many of the artists featured on the site straddle
the border of obscurity and complete anonymity which is completely at odds with
the remarkable quality of their artistry. Shane has undertaken the difficult
task of rescuing the work of these artists from musty books, tattered magazines
and deteriorating microfilm, and painstakingly restoring the art to its full
brilliance. The same care that is put into the restoration is also afforded to
the presentation. Shane doesn’t haphazardly dump a collection of images onto the
site, but presents it with thoughtfulnesss and context. By posting a handful of
drawings from an artist on any given day, he allows the viewer to truly
appreciate, understand and savor the work. Daily updates are often supported
with biographical info about the artists and comments about the graphic
qualities of the drawings which adds further value to the artwork.

The ultimate purpose of CartoonRetro is not only to build a library of classic
cartoons, but for viewers to learn from the artwork that is posted and to apply
the lessons to their own projects. To that end, CartoonRetro also features comic
and animation projects that Shane and other artists like Katie Rice, Luke
Cormican and Fred Osmond are developing exclusively for the site. Each of these
artists provides extensive commentary about the development process of their
cartoons and specific explanations of how they are being influenced by the works
of earlier cartoonists.

CartoonRetro while still in its infancy has already proven to be an invaluable
resource. Without any reservations, I can say that it belongs in the bookmarks
of every animation artist, illustrator and designer. The spare, yet infinitely
complex and creative, beauty of the artwork on CartoonRetro is a refreshing
change of pace from the mathematical sterility of today’s CG artistry and serves
as a daily reminder of what attracted me to cartoons and drawing in the first
place. Perhaps the best news for myself and other subscribers is that Shane has
committed himself fully to the site and turned CartoonRetro.com into his
full-time job and sole source of income. With the type of vision and dedication
that he has towards the art of cartoons, I am confident that CartoonRetro will
be on the scene for many years to come, and I’ll be along for the ride every
step of the way.



For a full listing of the site’s features, see the Cartoon Retro Tour or jump
straight to the Subscription Page.
