I have a hard enough time being full time with one job. I have considered the thought of loans, but I really don't want to pay those off for the rest of my life. I am Jewish this way.

Animation is a passion of mine. Too bad I don't have the funds to pursue college. Oh well. In due time I suppose.

Ren and Stimpy was great on many levels: the story telling, the model designs, the animation, everything about it was perfect. I wouldn't say Doug is up there in terms of animation-wise. The designs for it are the ugliest things on the planet, but the writing was pretty decent from what I remember.

There are some animated shows that have come and gone over the years. Some of which were heavily impacted by the works of Spumco as well. Sponge Bob being the prime example.

I see, well anyway, I do see how John K influences Robbie's work. I don't know if you could see it but, there is a unique way he draws it. Aside from that the characters and story behind them are original.

Yes modern cartoons are all about profit.

Visual communication and photography are based on the same thing, composition and the way a message is put across. the difference being the medium and the technicalities of the tool. this is Marco by the way.

Influenced is more the word. There is indeed, a heavy John K. influence in my artwork. I wish I could say my stuff holds the same torch to the work done at Spumco, but it doesn't. I accept that as a compliment, as Ren and Stimpy is one of the greatest animated shows of all time.

I tried to be hospitable.

Also, post your art in the Art Thread. I am sincerely always interested in seeing people's stuff.

Making drawings for people on here is a great way to practice and flex my abilities.

Kids? You are aware there is a 3 year difference between Anthony and Ian, and a 5 year difference between Melanie, right? You know them personally, too.
I just took a gander at your deviant art, and I really think you wasted your money on that degree. Nothing too inspiring up there.
