About the Art: Tweety has become one of the most beloved characters in animation since his debute in "A Tale of Two Kitties" in 1942. Tweety was created by Warner Bros. Director Bob Clampett. The idea to create Tweety struck Clampett while he looked at his own nude baby photo. In his first shorts, Clampett had the little bird featherless and more of a flesh color. But even as Tweety gained a following and affection in his pictures, the censors believed Tweety should wear some sort of clothing and made Clampett add yellow feathers to the now famous bird. "Origins of Tweety" includes elements of very rare Tweety art taken from the Clampett original archives which includes images from the model sheet, storyboards and a typed interview. The primary print is reproduced with the fine art giclee process and is then embellished with photographs, a collector pin, the written word and a hand-painted cel. Ruth Clampett dedicates "Origins of Tweety" to her father. This is the first limited edition signed by her.
