Shatapp yew EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeediot!!!

Funny I should come across this now. I've been meaning to write about something but I've been too damn lazy. In this entry I mentioned a friend of Melanie's family that had passed away. On April 8th I went to a memorial for her. It was a lovely event presented at the local art museum that she loved to take art classes at. Chelsea was an extraordinary and *different* person. The very definition of an artist. A whimsical, talented artist. She loved animals (cats of course) and drew such bright illustrations of them. She loved cartoons and collected cells. Working on various freelance projects and taking many classes gave her a lot of contacts. One of them happened to be the creator of one of my favorite cartoons...Dee Ren an' Steempy Sho'. Yes and he was at her memorial. Uh-huh and I went up to all nervous-like and introduced myself...nervously. He was naturally polite and cool during the whole 30 second conversation. It was a proud moment.

So as I was doing my usual browsing this morning and I came across a new read to add to my list o' reads. I saw a comment from her on another blog that sparked my interest so I checked it out. In doing so, I discovered that she was into Ren and Stimpy. Awesome! As I was reading, I came across an entry in which she referenced John K, the cartoonist who created the show! I can't believe he has a BLOG! Of course I had to go and leave a lame, ass-kissing, flutterpated comment on it! OH the shame! But I couldn't help it... As an artist, I'm so excited to be able to read the blog of an idol of mine. He is amazing, I tell you. A genious!! There are so many knock-offs of his style it's unbelievable...



The first season was the fucking BEST. You're not a true, hardcore fan if you don't agree. I still quote scenes from those first episodes...A LOT. They're BURNED into my brain now. John was most involved with the first season, until some political network bullshit happened and his creation was taken from him. You can read an interview here. It's wonderful that he's gotten involved with it again!



MY HEEEeroo!!
