Original Chuck Jones layout drawing (graphite on 2 hole-punch 12 field animation paper, 10.5" x 12.5") for his 1943 short cartoon, "Inki and the Minah Bird".
With a tip of the hat to the surrealists holding court in painterly circles in Europe—Chuck Jones commands an outrageously magical brush in this pastiche of a film. Read what you will into its rhythms and syncopations, appearances and disappearances and outright lunacy, but don’t deny its hold on your imagination.
