human intended
My intended audience was everybody. I just want to make cartoons for human beings.
draw magazine nobody
Open a magazine from the 1930s and '40s and look at the illustrations in it. There's nobody alive that could touch the way they could draw back then.
school artist years
From 20 years of experience hiring artists out of the schools, I know-they get worse every year. They're absolutely ridiculously retarded now.
ambition thinking america
I think we are destroying the minds of America and that has been one of my lifelong ambitions.
strong expression style
My style is very strong poses and expressions.
illustration style different
The generic Canadian style of illustration is different from the generic American style.
real looks alive
To make something look real and alive, nothing can be symmetrical because nothing in real life is symmetrical. You have to make it look organic.
jobs editors voice
One guy records the voices, another guy times the storyboard, another guy times the sheets, one guy is the story editor. All these jobs should be covered by the director.
character tvs liquor
George Liquor is really the richest character I have. I'm amazed there aren't 365 episodes about him on TV already.
artist age get-better
All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you're going to get.
artist cartoonist illustrators
Cartoonists are untrained artists, while illustrators are more trained.
character ideas down-and
I find it very hard to sit down and create an idea or especially a new character on command. Usually my characters evolve by accident out of some story context.
artist perspective style
I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose.
writing today old-movie
In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.
