Description

The Ren & Stimpy Show "Blazing Entrails" and "Ren's Bitter Half" Background Color Key Painting Group of 3 (Nickelodeon, c. 1994/95). Offered here is a rare trio of original background color key paintings each from a different Season Three or Four episode of Nickelodeon's The Ren and Stimpy Show. Color keys like these are miniature paintings used to establish the look and feel of the backgrounds that will be used in an animated production. From Season Three's "Ren's Bitter Half" the painting marked 313 is seen near the 9:02 mark, and from Season Four's "Blazing Entrails" the painting marked 307 can be spotted near the 8:09 mark. The final color key is marked 409 from an undetermined episode believed to have aired in late Season Three or by the middle of Season Four; the starburst pattern in this image is a common motif used throughout the series. Each color key has been hand-painted in gouache on background board trimmed to approximately 6.25" x 5.5" with similar image areas of approximately 5.75" x 4.5" and include production codes for their associated episode and background itself. These paintings are attributed to background and layout artists Stephen DeStefano, Scott Wills, Bill Wray, Raymond Zibach, Tom McGrath, Larry Murphy, Chris Reccardi, Robert Yuan, and Richard Zaloudek, and are accompanied by a Nickelodeon CoA. With typical handling and edge wear including pinholes and some light surface wear, overall this varied trio of miniature paintings is in Very Good condition.
