Heinz Edelmann RIP

-

I just found out via Cartoon Brew that Heinz Edelmann passed away. Year after year i continue to be amazed by his work for Yellow Submarine. As Bob Godfrey said in the UK at least there was before Yellow Submarine and After Yellow submarine, Financially a disaster but critically and design wise an overbearing success.
I made one tribute to Yellow Submarine a few years back and would really like to do something in that vein again as a tribute to a design legend.
Bless You Heinz

Ramones Cartoon No 7: Sheena Is A Punk Rocker

Ramones Cartoon Sheena Is A Punk Rocker This is the 7th and proabably final Ramones cartoon. Its based on the song of course and the Sheena comic, though i think the song itself was more likely inspired by the 50's TV series Sheena Queen Of The Jungle. Its also a tribute to 70's animation that I liked.A Facebook comment that my animation was terrible and worse than 80's Animation made me laugh. As long as it's entertaining somebody while they're watching it . That's all that matters to me. The video has been uploaded on to youtube . But as per restrictions its blocked from public view.If id got it finished  3 - 4 years prior it may have made it on there without the block. Update: since it was originally uploaded to YouTube the block has been lifted (for now) and free to view. And it’s got over 40’000 views . These books were my main source material as well as studying lots of photography of 70's NYC Backgrounds: Pen and watercolor in...

Ramones Cartoon : Ramonestones

The Animation is now up online . Think i  had the idea as long as 4 years ago when i just did a quick sketch  of  Joey Ramone and put him into a background from The Flintstones world                                                                  I didnt really have any other song in mind than "Listen To My Heart" . Seemed to fit in very easily The original Flintsones series was one of the first things i can remember watching as a kid. Mainly for the opening and closing segments. Very simple and repetitive. But in a catchy good way. originally Fred was going to make an appearance at the beginning. But i just wanted something really simple so dumped Fred and put in his daughter  Pebbles and her Boyfriend  Bam Bam . They had a spin off show The Pebbles & Bam Bam Show whi...

Sorry folks it looks like the video to Commando has been taken down. It was a Fan Video and i made absolutely no money from it . Maybe if id just uploaded the track and stuck an Album cover in front of it that'd make things ok. Or maybe there's an official video on the way . Which is fine by me. I did try uploading to another site but as soon as it was up it was taken down. So someone really does'nt want it available. The other three videos i've produced are still up on my channel and are freely available at the present but if the copyright holders dont want them around then there's nothing i can do about it. And will sadly mean i wont be producing anymore, which will be a real shame because they are fun to do and people get pleasure out of them. Nothing more to add except have a Great New Year. Peace
