The Official Chuck Jones Virtual Experience proudly presents “Early Bird (Heritage Archive Series),” a limited-edition artwork representing the earliest known character model drawing of the Road Runner by Chuck Jones.
The legendary animation director and artist Chuck Jones (1912–2002) created countless iconic original and limited edition works that continue to inspire animation fans and collectors. Known for his brilliant storytelling, expressive characters, and timeless humor, Jones transformed animation history with masterpieces such as Duck Amuck, One Froggy Evening, and What’s Opera, Doc? He remains a true legend and icon in the art world.
“Early Bird” was drawn circa 1945, four years before the Road Runner made his official debut in Fast & Furry-ous. This character model drawing showcases a slightly different interpretation of the Road Runner, offering a rare glimpse into Jones’ creative process as he developed the iconic duo of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. The artwork captures Jones’ signature wit, ingenuity, and pioneering spirit, making it an exceptional addition to any animation or Chuck Jones collection.
Every "Early Bird" limited edition comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
