Paul Julian (born Paul Hull Husted; June 25, 1914 – September 5, 1995) was an American artist and designer most noted for his work as a background artist for Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes short films. He worked primarily for director Friz Freleng's Sylvester and Tweety Bird shorts. His warm and tightly-cropped urban scenes were also featured early in his career in the 1946 Bugs Bunny film Baseball Bugs, and in the crime syndicate-themed Daffy Duck film Golden Yeggs. Mr. Julian also worked extensively as a WPA mural artist.
