Bruce Blitz Cartooning TV Show

I remember watching lots of Public Television as a kid.  There seemed to be more to learn from TV back in the 80's.  You had Sesame Street, and Mister Rogers of course.  And I loved, and I mean loved Reading Rainbow.  But I also remember watching the Frugal Gourmet (before the Food Network existed and before his whole sex scandal thing), and I also remember more than a couple art shows, namely The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross and Cartooning with Bruce Blitz.  Enjoy this YouTube clip.

These were not great shows, but they were really cool when you were a kid, and all you had to do was pick up a marker and some paper.  You could learn something about lines, and shape, and composition and finishing a piece of art in pretty easy steps.  I guess you can get all this online these days, but with all the crap on TV these days, I think there should be room for more art instruction programs, especially since due to school budget cuts, Art classes and programs are constantly being downsized and cut.  You can still buy Bruce Blitz supplies, including pre-lined cartoon and comic boards.  Since Blitz cartoons a dinosaur, I figure I would include a link to one of the classic children's illustrated books, Syd Hoff's Danny and the Dinosaur.

Be on the look-out for my own How-To segments on drawing, cartooning, and how to fill a fountain pen (this is extremely exciting to me).
