Thought I’d post this amazing video before I call it a night. Thanks to Ashton Kutcher for Tweeting this.

I was hit with a wave of nostalgia today and it came in the form, as it most often does, of TV from the past. Or more accurately, Cartoons.

After attempting to watch CBBC and other UK children’s TV channels I was suddenly hit with the notion that kids TV today is not what it used to be. CGI has killed off the soul of cartoons. Never again will kids sit and stare in wonder at something like ‘Rhubarb and Custard’ or ‘Henry’s Cat’. They expect Hi-Def and plenty of almost adult plot to keep them interested.

Therefore in honour of the past, I challenged myself to dedicate my art day to good old fashioned kids TV.

As mentioned in my previous post, I rediscovered ‘Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?’ and although it is more advanced than most other cartoons of its time, it still held an educational theme and wasn’t too ‘heavy’ for kids to watch. I decided to create a piece dedicated to the main character, Carmen herself.

Afterwards, I was still hungry for a quick illustration so I trawled the nostalgia sites looking for the perfect childhood hero – ‘Bananaman’! First realised in the Beano, he soon had his own 10 minute show commissioned which kept me entertained for years! Lets hear it for the B-Man.

She’s in my DVD player, thats where

I loved this cartoon when it was on Nickelodeon in the mid 90’s and I bought the DVD a few years ago but then totally forgot about it! Shame on me.

I discovered a new artist recently and fell in love with his vector styling. I have tried vector art myself in the past but it never seemed to go well for me so I decided to do something similar but in a different style.

Jinx wishes you all a very merry Jinx-mas 2009!

Glad I didn’t send him money for this. I enjoy his posts but this attempt to make a quick buck from his YouTube followers a year or so ago is LOW.

…But please make your own decision.

There have been a lot of celebrity deaths this year. Notably Brittany Murphy just the other day, and of course the Prince of Pop – Michael Jackson.

Just thought I’d mention this after hearing his latest single. When someone has been convicted of as many things as he has, surely he shouldn’t be allowed to use Jesus and children to sell a Christmas release?!

I’ve just started a new page on Suggymoto’s Blog called Facebook Project.
On this page I will (time permitting) start to amass quite a few quick illustrations.
They will be based on my Facebook visits, or more accurately the first of my friends that pops up on the Facebook live feed. I will draw and colour their current profile picture at that time. In the highly likely situation where the same person appears first more than once I will chose the next person who hasn’t been done.

It should be fun so check back here to see if you ‘get done’…
