Some Awesome Blogs Worth Checking Out!

Well... awesome if you love art and animation. Otherwise, just go away.

JOHN K BLOGs!

John K, in case you didn't know, is the man behind Ren & Stimpy, The Riffic Friends, and a bunch of other weird and insane cartoons. He has a lot of blogs up, and I have to say, they're amazing! His main blog has a bunch of rips on Disney and is a great how-to for young artists and animators!

He has another blog up where he has a few pitches for other TV shows and another one called "Demo Reel" that... well, just look at it. It's basically him posting some awesome vidoes and pictures!

J.R. Spumkin Blogs

J.R. Spumkin is a man who loves his Ren & Stimpy and is awesome! Just AWESOME! He has a blog dedicated to mainly himself, art, and the greatness of Spumco and Animation in general, as well as theories, and another one dedicated to his sketches. He's working on a new show idea right now, too.

El Tigre Blog

OK, I won't lie: I can't get into this show. I've never been a fan and I watched a few episodes of a marathon of the series today... just couldn't get into it. But it is beautiful to watch and this blog is a testament to that!

BRUTE! a.k.a. Aidan Hughes

In case you didn't know, BRUTE! is the British genuis who has done 99% of all the artwork for KMFDM. I love his work, he's a remarkable artist and designer, and his blog is just wonderful!

Steve Purcell Blog

Steve Purcell brought us Sam & Max, and if you don't know who they are... well, you most likely spent your childhood going out, having fun, and playing with friends unlike me who spent it inside watching cartoons and then running around for hours hopped up on sugar. You missed out on a lot of good times!

More likely than not, I'll have a bunch more lare, but for now... courage.

Hey, Larry.

Thanks for the compliment (I found this Googling myself), but I didn't work on Ren and Stimpy. I have been able to track down most of the crew that did, but I never worked on the show. What I write are just little theories I have, and how I break down certain scenes.

Thanks for the endorsement, man. I hope maybe we could chat some time.

Thanks for the correction, and I'll make sure to add that note to the original post!

Awesome work, though!
