Ren & Stimpy animator John K. sends fan illustrated how-to letter
John K. is a genius but he's not as "nice" as this article paints him. He has a blog:<p><a href="http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com</a><p>He's basically a cynical old bastard who hates just about everything about the way cartoons are produced today. (Arrogance in cartooning is measured in nanokricfalusis.) He's also right about most of it: if you've ever seen the garbage produced today like <i>Fairly OddParents</i> or <i>Total Drama Island</i> you'll know what I mean.<p>More likely than not, his outreach toward Amir Avni was more about intervention than fan-friendliness: he wanted to get to a young, promising cartoonist before the Evil Network Execs filled his head with bad ideas.
