A Pin-up a Day by Illustrator Becca Whitaker
Welcome to 1980’s cartoon week! This week all the drawings I will post will be based on cartoons from the awesome 80’s!
80’s Cartoons Appreciation Week Drawing #1: Janine and Slimer from The Real Ghostbusters
You couldn’t be a kid in the 80’s and not be a huge Ghostbusters fan and I am no exception. The cartoon wasn’t quite a cool as the movie but that doesn’t mean it didn’t rock.
80’s Cartoons Appreciation Week Drawing #2: Diana the Acrobat and Eric the Cavalier from Dungeons & Dragons
I adored this cartoon! But I was always missing the second half because of a Saturday morning class I was stuck attending. I was first in line to buy my copy on DVD though and well it’s pretty silly but lots of fun to watch anyways!
Fun fact: I just learned on Wikipedia that Diana was supposed to be 14 on the TV show. Really? Really? I would have never thought that in a million years! In any case I didn’t draw her as a 14 year old…
By the way my Janine and Slimer drawing is available on a t-shirt from Red Bubble! My favorite is the royal blue but it’s available in loads of colors, click on over and check it out :)
80’s Cartoons Appreciation Week Drawing #3: 1980’s Birthday Party! Featuring Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Bright
As a girl child of the 1980’s I loved Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Bright so I thought I’d give them a Becca twist.
If you like the image it’s also available on t-shirts from Red Bubble! Fancy!
80’s Cartoons Appreciation Week Drawing #4: Oh My Stars and Garters! Featuring Teela, Evil-Lyn and Orko from He-Man
This is an older drawing but I thought it fit in perfectly with the theme and it’s so much fun I love sharing it!
If anyone is interested I’ve started taking orders for prints of the two drawings above.
One print is $18 two prints are $28 (U.S. shipping is included, elsewhere may require extra postage)

80’s Cartoons Appreciation Week Drawing #5: Thundercats Ho! Cheetara and Snarf!
I haven’t seen Thundercats since the 80’s but I back then I never missed an episode…even if it…ahem…meant being a little late to school…
80’s Cartoons Appreciation Week Drawing #7: Poetry fun with The Baroness & Roadblock
I never watched GI Joe in the 80’s but recently sat and watched the first two seasons and fell in LOVE! What a fantastic show! So funny with great characters! Roadblock is my favorite :) So for today I offer two GI Joe themed drawings. Enjoy!
80’s Cartoons Appreciation Week Drawing #8: Random cartoon fun!
Today’s drawing is just a bunch of fun random 80’s cartoon characters :) Can you name them all?
