Ramones Cartoon : Ramonestones

Image
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 which came out mid 70's around the time The Ramones were starting to make an impact so seemed to make sense.To me anyway. The background characters mainly come from that show           

New Animation

Im about 98% finished on this cartoon  Will add more screen shots and a bit more info behind it as well. It was the easiest of the many projects i've been working on to actually finish up. But saying that it was still hard to  plough on and get it just right Parts are still rough and ready but good to have rough edges Been 3 years ! since my last upload on to youtube . So copyright willing i'll try and get this up over the weekend.

Just read about the re-release of The Yellow Submarine    All nicely cleaned up and restored for Blu-Ray and DVD. It will be the first time since the late 90's that its been readily available . Its due late May this year (2012) Hopefully by then i'll have my own YS tribute up online. I've posted a screen grab above from my little opus above , and cant wait to show it off.

Moebius : Jean Giraud

Image
Moebius (Jean Giraud) was the one artist that inspired me to try and draw better, and also taught me to let loose my imagination and try to transfer that in my drawings. Its a cliche but they'll never be another artist like him .....ever.
