I'm still not exactly sure whats happening now, or why I'm telling some imaginary people who i think could actually be reading this blog, i just felt like i had to write this out. weird. my dad was always old, meaning my parents had me WAY late in their lives so in a weird way <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">I've</span> been preparing for this moment my whole life. i mean, when i was born just two days later my dad turned 60! i guess all i can say about it now is that my dad made me the man i am today. not the lazy glutenous parts though. but its because of him that I'm an artist, because he was one as well. but i do think i got my sense of humor because of him. hell, the biggest reason i fell in love with stand-up comedy at such a young age (about 10 or so) was because when we would all drive to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Vegas</span> in the late 80's/early 90's my dad would always make it a point to being me to the Vegas <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Improv</span> at the Flamingo. yeah, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">that's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">definitely</span> when I was bit by that bug. its weird when someone passes away. in my dads case all <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">that's</span> really left behind is some pictures and a couple of cool lighters he had engraved with his initials "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">JF</span>" (we have the same name by the way). so as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">cheesy</span> as this might sound i now know fully something <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">I've</span> always known which is that its not WHAT we leave behind, its HOW we left it. meaning the impressions we leave, the marks we leave on life's pavement. the marks that say "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">goddamn it</span> I was here. and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">don't</span> you forget it". hopefully those marks are pleasant for those we leave them for, and my dad left some pretty nice ones. right now <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">I'm</span> feeling a lot of different things at once. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">I'm</span> sad he didn't live to see me gain success or to see his grand kids, but i do think he was happy with the man i became. he better have anyway, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">I'm</span> practically just like him. shit look at me, is it bad <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">I'm</span> making jokes? but honestly, i think he'd be laughing at that one.<div><br /></div><div>Its now been a week since he passed away and I wrote the stuff above. Its been a weird week but all is well. I have lots more to say but for now I just want to put this out into a world that will probably never see it.

I've met and hung out with Rick Shapiro (if you don't know who he is you neeeeed to check him out. He's a fucking entity), recorded voices with some cool comedians which include Dov Davidoff, sat a stool away from Bill Burr and Joe Rogan at the bar at the Melrose Imrov and shook hands with Tommy Davidson. But, I'm just now moving into a new place which is cool but I might be losing my job soon so that sucks, along with other drama I wont go into. Thats the way my life has always been. There has to be some kind of intense drama to counteract anything good that happens to me.</div><div> Anyway, these pictures I think really define what that part of Hollywood I was in is all about.

I took a nap and slept too long for The Comedy Store so that was out. I did go up at the Sunset Grill which is bitter sweet (mostly bitter though) because although I tried out all new material there were only about six of us there and performing for five other comics is pretty damn lame. Eventually I make my way to IO West and it was canceled for the night. LAAAAME. So a bunch of us just walked to this place called The Piano Bar where we bitched about other comics we hate, so that was pretty fun. But wait! My real night started when we left and I get back to my car only to realize that I've lost my keys. I was freaking out and I went back to Piano Bar where a couple of the comedian stragglers were still packing up to leave and they helped me look for them. I swear I was about half an inch away from shitting my pants. So I call AAA and while I'm waiting for them at the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Ivar I noticed something horrific.

At one point I went for a walk to CVS to get some fresh air and I thought it would be a funny idea to buy a Tiger Beat because I thought I could possibly get some comedy material out of it. To make a long story short nothing in Tiger Beat made me laugh, it only made me angry... but what I did think was funny was that I bought it while I was alone. Its not like I was with a buddy and you could tell we were doing it for laughs, it just looked really fuckin' creepy and I thought that was pretty hilarious. What makes it really creepy though is that with it I also bought my normal staples from a drug store (and this is no lie) which were a huge thing of Jagermeister and a box of tissues. So to the guy at the counter it looked like my evening consisted of going home and getting totally wasted while I read Tiger Beat and cry. Now THAT is an awesome holiday.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Heres a cute picture of my dog to counteract my creepiness (or elevate it).

I have mixed feelings about my set because I feel like it could have been better but I also know the exact parts to fix and the set should work out pretty well.

He's one of my favorate comedians so I dont think I'll get sick of hearing the dialogue after a hundred times. My basic plan is to do some sketches from a lot of photos of him(heres a couple below) because I would like to have a character/characature of him in the piece. We'll see how this summbitch goes.<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269763430870478914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 232px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgboj2POFaQ5t1mYhA7BflxnwNAAzBwXaz0zOncwG22GubSMjHjK-8uprc41Ga3Ans8yt8fSkZgP97957fuamQ2WPVDdpOCivEJok4qc3zqHGqvcvCrtorCCIZWwvANfn-9PRUkJmVYNZk/s320/pattonface.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><div>As you can see on this sketch I've done a really cartoony sketch of him to get some proportions I liked, then on the other one I kind of morphed it a lot to make it even cartoonier.

The only one I got up at was the 10:30 show at IO West. Its really fuckin' irritating when you have to pay up the ass for parking at these places and you don't even get to do your set. I mean, I know I'm super new at this and I have to pay my dues for a while but when it starts hitting my wallet like that it gets pretty damn annoying. Anyway, IO West was pretty cool. My set could have gone better but I was trying some brand new stuff out and I got a couple of laughs with it, so now I know I should work on that material since it got some laughs even when all I had on the material was a couple notes, most of it was just in my head.<br /></div><div>The place itself is awesome because from the outside its an absolute piece of shit (see below) and thats the way underground comedy should be.</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqmNpbb6AXodZJ416miqCrZ9LTqprgwm6dNf3q1n9yyAppo8A8kOA23bVy3-yz3mw7K3FTUhoj2zjXutwEGkwZmyGbQ2UxhZapDUmYi5Br4WkskQMDOF6fQcKxyQv26kYNr0Rmitn7Sg/s1600-h/CIMG0046.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqmNpbb6AXodZJ416miqCrZ9LTqprgwm6dNf3q1n9yyAppo8A8kOA23bVy3-yz3mw7K3FTUhoj2zjXutwEGkwZmyGbQ2UxhZapDUmYi5Br4WkskQMDOF6fQcKxyQv26kYNr0Rmitn7Sg/s320/CIMG0046.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269701135736018130" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "><br /></span></div><div> As you can see by the picture I took of the dumpsters next door the walls themselves seem like they can give you AIDS.

We already have the next one planned for December 11th so we're expecting twice the amount for that one. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I was having some major doubts about doing this thing when it was really coming down to it. I mean, I've only been doing this about 5 months, doesn't that seem a but pretentious? One thing I need to work on though I think is not being such a damn people pleaser. What it really came down to was that I was worried about complete strangers opinions about how I run my life. Fuckin' dumb.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, I'm not doing an open mic tonight because there aren't really any good ones going on and frankly even if there were I'm too damn tired to do it.

I cant write a lot right now but since the last post I've been trying my hand out at stand up comedy. I go to several open-mics a week and I've been loving every minute of it (even when I bomb). Today is a weird day inparticular because it is the first open-mic that I'm hosting with my buddy Aisako (see flyer below) and I just got word this morning that I'll be performing at my first "bringer" show at the Belly Room at The Comedy Store in Hollywood on December 1st. Fuckin' cool right? Anyway, I have lots of notes about my adventures over the past 4 or 5 monts and I'm going to post those soon. Thanks again to anybody who reads this Blog.

I guess if the end result is half way decent I count it as a good learning experience. </div><br /><div>In this case I really couldn't tell you what the hell I was thinking besides the fact that I'm kind of tired of seeing cool characters sculpted in such BORING positions. For this particular drawing I saw a lot of ambigous things happening like one really skinny leg opposit a "normal" size leg. The arms do kind of the same thing but they're even on different levels! In the actual animation (Stimpy's First Fart) it moves so cool and it's so eye catching you don't notice these irregularities but really, I think thats what makes the drawing so awesome. However, ambiguosity is a difficult thing to sculpt, as well as little details like the practically hair thin leg and arm. Also, the hands dont really have any clear definition of where the fingers are going, especially the one on that really skinny arm<br /></div><div>So this was my basic plan, focus on the things that I think look the coolest like the teeth and eyes and wrinkles n' stuff and just match the other things up as best as possible. The REALLY cool thing about doing something like this is that since we can't see what his other sides looke like, I GET TO MAKE THEM UP!</div><br /><div>Here is what I came up with in the end;</div><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182499955084399170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_Ddd4U85FEZchM16SJx5FrBJtZwbr8LmIdzr38xpj0xLutqaeW38zqIq23ehswxXooLKsp35VzfqzPtXNetQMHm6dlgL5oysrftF26rRUSzggXFg6Lpi3u1g2llXUPmqvAe5N3jITjc/s320/stimpysfirstfart.jpg" border="0" /><br /></div></div></div><p>As you can see in this picture I did my best to line things up like where his left hand (the one on our right) in positioned in relation to the foot. I also tried to match the teeth up the best I could with the pic but I decided to make them a bit bigger because I wanted them to really stand out. The tongue is also bigger as well but it kind of takes up most of the inside of his mouth.</p>Here are the side views (sorry for the crazy lighting)<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182502175582491218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0DGN4U92EJQzYnmsuYZ1GxHJrO54_1_nSFLBgnznQb4W7OgQQgD4U3dNbXn5XxR_dgY7qBHEdDGL-xxO2UXkQbB06RpPh5TSJhyphenhyphenNs35yplxBGk8pJDfq833f7tf52j5AdBHdRe9zPsNo/s320/stimpysfirstfart4.jpg" border="0" /></p></div></div><div><br /><br /></div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182503056050786914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcIaSZHqAXSg9eG97cSxSy-BKp_krwvCImv2uDAkzoy7Y0XRN4aLIhf1TU0QbG5gF81ceWYFs1RkAQyjT7qkCirh8_X7MY0jQY_AZUYE4MjEP9v4p4iR5VM9T7g_5LT8PwG6bBew0Svek/s320/stimpysfirstfart2.jpg" border="0" /></p><div><br /><br /></div><p>And my favorate view! :)</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182518655372006018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0bIV6LRZmcnKgC5le1aW_eaSbkGA-BuHQ55QFPEDqnVYgq1NcDc4duTKmxEHnotRnmEANQVC0E1FjiZeuNVH5OIhVnlwBPBKH1VrSrZPmczaCFcGk3kgcnnRcETDrwhpteeMjNnZUiEc/s320/stimpysass.jpg" border="0" /><br />I admit I went a little crazy with the back fat but I think it came out pretty good anyway. Its not often you get do physically mold and polish Stimpy's ass:) Anyway, if anybody reads this let me know what you think.

My wife graciously accepted to go because she figured I earned it having gone to many "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">girly</span>" stores with her lately. </div><div></div><div></div><div>First off, I was surprised to see how small the place was. The only thing you can really see when you come in is the current displays in the front room and a few computers in front of an office with a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">plexiglas</span> window. Immediately to your right you see a couple tables filled up with folders and an old animation table, later on Steve Worth told us that those tables were filled with all of the original storyboards from the first season of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Ren</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Stimpy</span> and the animation table belonged to none other than Les Clark with his first original "classic" drawing of Mickey Mouse, needless to say I was pretty floored with what I saw in this humble showroom so far.</div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156558497052490066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7FRRLLVE1oIXXBi6wSrwK6y9Pm1aM6wuw6xa-EzTrKESA_T8acLxdBdcW0CPHBLi7vUqVvGTuzt7FQ7NHklW8nb-q9mxo8f_r_fq8gVOD88Z2tpRCqRRDpft_dh4ahMVLxRSjJWzxMkU/s320/P1000513.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div>The exhibit itself is on Grim <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Natwick</span> right now and I think the biggest thing I was impressed with was how <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">friggin</span> versatile this guy was! I mean there is one drawing of Snow White that looks like it was a clean up done with a red mechanical pencil or something, yeah... turns out it was his ROUGH drawing! And then there were really loose drawings like this</div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156573911690115442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLHQqaZZtUA3Lh00O6UR6OYC8vlRyXYOJSli2XQN1g_IaYfPFz1ZeZv3TDfQOY0TZX4sSuvgT5pIhnsIHxlrTdMhsmSzktFzSmZCm4NSUm2sO5hfMhpVig6aJQrCWSbk2FeXlBMsmAXM/s320/P1000504.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />and this<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156573920280050050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5be_H7tf1sz05etQ_6O8KFPpAvNdeYibCsMzwvZ6YDyiBmH0HgW8A-hnGaHajkBxWIsSr5uRJZMDt85pJT_pmA07Y4wgjvFoDxOVzS1mskt4nF5E5BTl10frBr0sspNGDDIA5_jKIl_s/s320/P1000506.JPG" border="0" /><br />that Steve explained were how he drew when he was doing more "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">cartoony</span>" animation. What I quickly came to realize was how big of a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">genius</span> this dude was and how little you can really know about him until you look at all of the amazing drawings up close and hear Steve's stories about them. He told us that even though he never worked for Warner Brothers his influence is all over the damn place. A far as I can tell Chuck Jones loved him and knew him from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Ub</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Iwerks</span>' studio.<br /><br />Here is a picture below of Chucks rendition of Grim seasick on a cruise they were on and having to take a shot of whiskey to feel better.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156577609656957330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrs81hZkAlCJX9CeXLdKht34JK1g9aT9tkaxQGbf-7MWM6ADEsiRHtwLiFOOsFwhjetQ0hpq3teQvMupiH0swMuxjoMVyWoGMXIHWdk4JFeQD4liqSD9xWHYPUqsb0zXKsutej81cfEbc/s320/P1000509.JPG" border="0" /><br />These pictures do almost no justice to the archive. You HAVE to actually go there and see these things up close and smell the history behind them to remind yourself that THIS is the reason you love animation and want to somehow, someway be a part of it's legacy. If the showroom hasn't made you <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">explode</span> by that point and Steve is feeling generous you might be inclined to ask him to show you the back room where there is literally tons upon tons of boxes full of animation memorabilia to look at. I mean you can't sift through the stuff or anything like it's your Aunt Gwen's garage sale but just knowing that you are standing between mountains of artwork that we could only read about before is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">mind boggling</span>.<br /><br /><br />Just do yourself a favor, go look at all the amazing artwork, listen to the stories filling the file <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">cabinets</span> in Steve's brain, watch restored classics that you cant find anywhere else and beg him if you have to to show you the back storage room which <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">apparently</span> only holds a THIRD of all the archives material.<br /><br /><br />Oh, and do Steve a favor and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">don't</span> have a brain fart like I did and forget to leave a donation, but thankfully I was able to redeem myself and make one through the site:)<br /><br />For anyone who reads this I will be posting my own stuff in the near future so feel free to let me know what you think or give me a quick critique if you have the time.<br />Thanks.<br /><br />JohnFasohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13103405244793202270noreply@blogger.com2
