Paul Julian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Julian (June 25, 1914 - September 5, 1995) was an American artist and designer most noted for his work as a background artist for Warner Brothers' Looney Tunes cartoon shorts. He worked primarily for director Friz Freleng's Sylvester and Tweety Bird spots. His warm and tightly-cropped urban scenes were also featured early in his career in the 1946 Bugs Bunny short Baseball Bugs, and in the crime syndicate-themed Daffy Duck short Golden Yeggs. He was the source of the Road Runner's "Beep-beep".
Julian directed two animated films himself, "Baby Boogie" (1955), and the nightmarish "The Hangman", (1964) and was a production designer for the 1978 Japanimation fantasy Winds of Change (film), based on Ovid's Metamorphoses.
He died in 1995 in Van Nuys, California.
