Looney Tunes is total mayhem. And it’s great, but smack in the middle of all this pandemonium, there’s something hidden that you don’t usually notice: the background art. Beautiful images that are little artworks in and of themselves. In this video I’ll explain why background art is so important, who the artists are behind this art, and why Maurice Noble is a key figure in all this.
