The State of TAZmania
Welcome to Free Scribbles.
A blog that is part stream of consciousness and part free thoughts on all things of interest to me. Hopefully some of you out there will find what I have to say and the topics I discuss of interest as well. Topics that might be discussed are comic books, cartoons, running, the Patriots, television shows, art, history... the sky is the limit and I don't want to set any restraints. The title of the blog says it all.
A little about myself so that the readers can begin to understand the perspective that my posts are coming from. I am a proud Bostonian and married to a wonderful woman who shares most of my passions and puts up with the rest of my eccentricities. I mean, how many women would put up with a crazy guy who collects comic books and loves to watch cartoons on a Saturday morning?
I work in advertising, specifically in the interactive sector and I am very excited to get up in the morning and go to work. The agency I work for is doing a lot of exciting things and has some very cool projects and clients. The team of creative individuals I interact with are some very talented people who seem to be very passionate about what they do. While I am mentioning this now, anything involving advertising will be posted on my other blog, KP Creative. Free Scribbles is my outlet for all other things.
For my first post, I think that I want to talk about my favorite blog, other than my own! BLOGregard Q. Kazoo. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend watching Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on Cartoon Network. It is a highly entertaining and witty show no matter what age you are. It is full of pop culture references, a great soundtrack, and a crazy cast of characters.
The blog of mention is a behind the scenes of creating a show. Craig McCracken and his wife Lauren Faust write about everything that goes into a show, from the outline to the voice work and everything in between. Craig is best known for creating the Powerpuff Girls, a well known cartoon show involving a trio of precocious sisters who save their hometown regularly with their superpowers. Foster's is a unique show as the first ever television show created exclusively with Flash and all about what happens to Imaginary Friends when their creator grows up.
Well, I can't say much more about it now, but give it a chance...
