Deaf Cartoon Artist in “Flintstone”, “The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm”

Do you remember Flintstone Cartoon? Many people might not realize those arts in background such as rocks, grass, sky, feet, stone tires, etc, were drawn by a Deaf artist. His name is Gino Giudice. He moved to Hollywood from Chicago in late 1960’s to work for the art studio. He was a background artist at Animation Department of Hanna-Barbera in Hollywood. I’ve seen all kind of his wonderful art skills. They were so beautiful and professional. For a long time, I’ve known Halloween costumes were one of his many favorite creative arts. He loved creativing and making his homemade costumes and attended the Halloween parties to suprise many people after he removed his home-made mask. Most people didn’t recognize him when he was wearing the costume. Giudice was possessed of a deep love and commitment to art. It was his life. He was perhaps most respected for his role in the art of “Flintstone”, “The Pebbles and Bamm” and other artworks in this field. Presently, he enjoys his retirement in Hollywood and attends the Deaf events. read more
