Artist's Comments

This was an illustration I did just recently for a segment called "I love the 80's" in my college yearbook. The layout revisits the 80's and I decided to provide a pic for the cartoon aspect of it. Overall, I find that this genre is over promoted in today's age, but I don't deny its influence on me while growing up. I decided on a brown background because that's the color I remember most at that age... Dunno why.

Egon!!! SQUEE! Now there's someone I always forget when remeniscing (sp) about the lovely decade of my youth, and yet such a great show (well, for 80's shows). Bright and shiny, man! And you're right...despite the bright colors of the clothes/make-up/shows, brown does seem to be kinda lodged in my mind. Maybe it was the "in" color for decorating at the time?

From a design standpoint, the brown works well as the background color because it's neutral and allows the colorful characters to pop out, without looking like the design has a lot of dead space, which it would if the background was white maybe. The 80s are overpromoted, but all trends happen in circles, and currently it's trendy to relive your 80s days, just look at the success of That 70's Show. Next up is the 90s.

It's nice to see, that some people still remember... I just turned towards the 80's now, when I'm old and shaky (somobody shoot me PLS, I'm just 24...) but that's good, because now, I can fully respect that era's greatness. I'm still in love with the Transformers though and I was playing Ninja turtles games with my lil' bro... Memories, memories... XD Anyway, The pic looks nice, Me likes!
