Original Color Drawing of BUGS BUNNY & WITCH HAZEL by VIRGIL ROSS This is an original pencil and color pencil drawing on paper by Warner Bros Studio artist Virgil Ross . It is titled " Bugs Bunny and Witch Hazel " and is signed on the lower right by Virgil Ross. It includes a COA on the verso. The picture measures 9"x11" and the frame measures 17.5"x19". This piece is in excellent condition and comes beautifully framed (has very minor scrathing on the frame which is only visible upon close inspection). Virgil Ross was an animator at Lantz in 1935 and then went to work for Schlesingers (Warner Bros) six months later. He became one of the legends of his profession, working at Ub Iwerks, Hanna Barbera, Filmation, DePatie-Freleng, Chuck Jones, Sam Nicholson, and Marvel. In 1984 he was one of the first artists to receive the ASIFA-Hollywoods Winsor McCay Award for Lifetime Achievement. Virigil was the "dance" specialist. Thus, whenever Bugs Bunny tap-danced down the street to "Rosie OGrady" or cakewalked on the vaudeville circuit, even pausing to wrestle a Japenese Sumo wrestler, that was Virgil's work (he was a darn good dancer himself!). A virtuoso of timing and gesture, he animated a great deal of Friz Freleng's Rhapsody Rabbit. His other credits include Tex Avery's Daffy Duck and Egghead, Freleng's "A Hare Grows in Manhattan"
