Career Advice from John K
October 17th, 2008

Over on his blog, my old pal John Kricfalusi – creator of Ren & Stimpy – talks about the two ingredients of good cartoons. When I discuss artistic principles I like to be broad and talk about issues applicable to all artists, or issues relating to the experience of expressing creativity. This is a little more specific about cartooning and comics, but it’s advice anyone can apply to whatever is their art. Get good, but don’t forget to have fun with it.

Scroll down past the stuff about old newspaper cartoons to where the old Disney model sheets are.

  • Yeah, those Beatle designs were great. I'd love to see a few scans from that book.
  • We're going back a couple of years, but he liked the cartooning and he liked the way I drew The Beatles.
  • Being that he knows you, I'm curious to what he said about your stuff?
  • John K is such a scholar of animation and cartooning. He could go on for hours, and likely has! I forget how I found it but I even saw a thing where he wrote an essay about how you can tell the different Flintstones animators apart!
  • Dude, I was just reading this!!!
    I just started reading his "1000000 dollar animation course" entries on there.
    I already used some of those principles that he lays down in designs that I'm doing for a client, last night.
    Yeah everybody go and save all those great old model sheets!
