Odds & Ends from the Cafarelli collection
- Going through a stack of boxes searching for genuine animation, one tends to find a number of gems that represent animation past but don’t nicely link to other pieces. The end result is that you hold a lot of odds and ends in your hands and you seek a way to post them. That’s certainly the case with Vinnie Cafarelli’s collected works.
I’ve located a lot of pieces that interest me, but I don’t necessarily know where they come from or why they were saved. So today I’m posting a number of these bits of art.
Here we have Layouts, cel setups, photos, models and more than a small share of invitations and Christ cards. Here they are:
1A Christmas Card from the NY-UPA Studio.
Many of the employees signed it.

A guide to many of the names
of those who signed the card.

I had a scanning problem on the upper
right and will try to correct that.
An invitation to a Christmas party at the Maysles Bros
studio. Certainly only for a member of the elite.
A Christmas Card from Fred Mogubgub.
A Christmas Card from the Goulding-Elliott-Graham Prods.
Ray Goulding and Bob Elliott, together with Ed Graham formed
this studio to do Piels commercials. (Bob Goulding & Ray Elliott were the
voices and held onto ownership of the characters. work dried up soon
since one commercial product & client couldn’t maintain the studio.)
A finished setup from a Yellow Pages commercial.
This was done at Gifford Productions.
Pablo Ferro during UPA days.
Vince Cafarelli (far left) while in the military at
Fort Benning, Ala. made extra money as a
bartender. These are the days just prior to his
workng at UPA.
A small racy sketch among the art.
We’re not sure who drew it but guess
it might be Vince Cafarelli’s work.
All that remains of a pitch for an antacid spot.
Obviously drawings 1 & 2 are missing, but
these two were interesting enough for me to post.
1
A storyboard (3 pages) for a cigarette company
(Sportsman Cigarettes?). Obviously a sample board.
Is it a live action spot? Probably for Gifford Studio
which also did live action spots.
