From 20 years of experience hiring artists out of the schools, I know-they get worse every year. They're absolutely ridiculously retarded now.
From John Kricfalusi
There's tons of people with talent; it's the system that's all screwed up.
Cartoonists are untrained artists, while illustrators are more trained.
All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you're going to get.
As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.
George Liquor is really the richest character I have. I'm amazed there aren't 365 episodes about him on TV already.
I don t think cartoons are only for kids, but I think kids will love anything as long as it's visually interesting.
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.
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.
I'll let you in on a secret: I can't stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It's just a different style of humor.
