I'm recreating Bodie in Minecraft. I would like it to look like it did in 1880. Do any of you know what it looked like then and what kind of buildings were there?
This man is a legend for his groundbreaking work in comics. I recently purchased 'The Best of The Spirit' because I had heard other artists citing his work and I wanted to see what the big deal was. Well, don't meet your heroes because the groundbreaking work is full of racist caricatures. I just couldn't get past it. The work is beautiful, awesome composition and action poses and anatomy way ahead of its time, but the racist stuff is just too much. Wayyy worse than anything in song of the south. To hear others white wash it and brush it off as a product of its time doesn't sit well either.
I make animations sometimes, take a peek ☝ Blender is killing it and it's free for all to download. The only excuse is that the algorithm will have your time-consuming work compete with never ending streams of twerking butts. 🍑 It's all "content" now. My next animation will be about that...
Thanks Stephen. Been watching this video for years. Didn't realize that you were the owner. This video inspired me more than any other. Thanks 👍 Ralph. I finally developed the necessary skills to make a film that reflects me. I still have a little ways to go but, I'm getting there. Never cared about the being rich part but, the independence of expressing yourself as you see fit regardless of what anyone thinks. To be authentic without fear. I will take that philosophy to the grave.
This guy deserves way more attention and respect!!!! What he's saying isn’t just the case for the animation industry, but the same for all industries. More people need to come together and beat the system that's shutting you out and has little respect for you even if you get in!
This is the cartoon I grew up listening to as a child, though for me it was a vinyl album, which I played on repeat. This takes me back. Thank you for the upload.
He looks ancient now, but he’s still alive and kicking. Would suck if he left us this year. 2020s have been turbulent. He is a fantastic animator who will never be forgotten 👍
So great to spot Clark Yocum there in the male vocal quartet in the 1st and 3rd number (2nd from left). Clark was a member of the famous Pied Pipers vocal quartet from 1940 into the 1960s 🤩😎 Thanks for posting this!
Was just watching an interview with Keely Smith and she mentioned that she and Louis took over Mary Kaye Trios set in Vegas back in the day. . . you can really see Mary's influence on Keely's style. So great these singers.
I've seen the Fender ad with her in it countless times, but this is the first time I've ever heard her. She's great! The ol' Stratocaster had quite a life before Hendrix. The guy who played guitar for Lawrence Welk also played one. His name was Buddy Merrill. He had some really awesome country chops, and he did lots of other stuff besides Lawrence Welk.
Someday I hope Ralph is formally recognized for the passion, creative and absolutely fearless artist he really is. Say what you want about his work, and indeed much can be said both positive and negative, he always approached the medium of animation from the perspective of not what it should do, but rather what it can do. His storytelling, though indeed sometimes crass and uncomfortable, none the less carries an honesty and forwardness that at first seems simple and shallow but quickly reveals layers upon layers of nuance and subtly. His characters are rarely outright heroes or straight villains, but rather just people. Complex, complicated, contradictory, and for lack of a better term, real. Every one one of his works shows a world through his eyes and while the view is rarely flattering, it's also rarely as untrue as we'd like to tell ourselves. It gets diluted sometimes in this age where "adult animation" is now more common and accepted and so many ape the surface details of what he did without understand what was under or behind it. "Shocking" for the sake of shock as it were. But while contemporaries of his that attempted similar things have faded to obscurity as cult curiosities (Rock and Rule, Dirty Duck) or require some level of nostalgia blinders to forgive them not aging particularly well (Heavy Metal, Starchaser), and imitators may keep trying copy the style and look while missing the intent, seeing a Bakshi film is like finding a time capsule or hidden treasure. Whatever it is it will fascinate you, draw and capture your attention, leaving you wondering what the hell you just saw but unable to stop thinking about it. And it's hard not to at least respect an artist like that.
I think its sad that comics are looked at like a juink medium!!! They are the best way to tell a story for those who don't like to read, and or those who do it gives them a sense of a story to see if they want to read a novelized version of it if it exists!!!
