Good Evening All,

Richard Bickenbach (1907-1994) was a mainstay in the animation business for over 40 years.

Starting at Warner Brothers in the mid to late 1930s, he worked as an animator on the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes shorts for the top cartoon directors

In 1947 Bickenbach moved to MGM and spent 10 years there animating close to 80 Tom and Jerry cartoons.

He moved to Hanna-Barbera and became one of their first employees and was there for almost 2 decades as their main layout artist, influencing the style for many of their characters.

Bickenbach is credited with many of the studios early model sheets and character designs.

On the website you will find a wealth of very early layout drawings of most of your favorite Hanna-Barbera characters.

Some of these drawings were featured in the exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum Hanna-Barbera show in 2016.

These layout drawings, which all came from the Bickenbach files, are being made available for sale, some for the first time.

You can own a piece of early Hanna-Barbera animation history for very reasonable prices.
