Bloo Cheese
Here's a picture Craig McCracken drew for me when I went to the Cartoon Network studios. I went to see a recording of Grim adventures of billy and mandy because I am friends with the guy who does the voice of grim I got to see a recording. After the recording Greg Eagles ( voice of grim ) took me up to meet animators and artists. I met some cool people, and then I met Craig McCracken - the coolest of all people. He was the nicest guy! I talked to him about fosters and then he brought me to this cubical where a girl was working on a scene from fosters. It was so awsome seeing their flash files and comparing them to how I animate in flash. I was watching this girl work for about 10 minutes and craig was nice enough to take time from his busy schedule to stay there as this woman showed me their stuff. Then we went back to craig's office where I asked him if it would be okay to draw me a picture of Bloo and Cheese. Craig seemed happy to draw it! Very cool seeing the creator drawing the cartoon I see on TV! I then told him to sign it to my brother Jared who is also a fan, but would go really crazy over a drawing of his 2 favorite characters. Craig was really cool and then I told him about you guessed it! Ace & Aqua!! He told me he accepts pitches and that I can mail him the episode and pitch info when its done. He said he cant wait to see it and Im really excited!
Later at the Comic Con I met the voice of Bloo and Cheese and Mac and lots of other voices. Even the voice of spongebob, I mean eduardo. When I was talking to Keith ( bloo ) I told him my brother would go crazy if you called him and talked to him in the voice of bloo... Well, he called him and talked to him in the voice of bloo! It was the coolest thing ever! I got him to sign the drawing as well as Candi Milo who does cheese. The voice actors and Craig and Lauren and everyone was just really great!
The monday after the Comic con I got to see a pick up of FOSTERS! It was really cool. Even tho only the voice of Mac was there, it was nice meeting him and talking with him, and seeing him perform. Oh, and I also got to keep 2 scripts from the show :)
Like I was saying before, I went to see the grim adventures of billy and mandy recorded and got these 2 model packets later. It was also really cool and the voice of grim was nice enough to record for me and do the voice of Aqua!!!
The recording was really cool and I later got these 2 character construction packets ( shown below )
Well that was my time in California... Oh yea, I also went to the nickelodeon animation studio and Frederator studios, Renegade studios and six point harness... I also worked and got paid which was awsome and recorded my own show! Ahh I wonder what I could accomplish if I actually lived in CA.
Talk soon!

Lauren had this to say:
Ha ha! I know that girl animator. She's my roommate! I'm gonna tell her she's famous now!
-
Lauren had this to say:
No, she didn't tell me. I just assumed. She's pretty much one of two girl animators and she's always the one they bring people to when they want to show them how their animation is done.
