In 2009, when animation/cartoons in media gained a higher amount of quality in story and ideas. New shows began appearing: Adventure Time by Pendleton Ward, Gravity Falls by Alex Hirsh, Steven Universe by Rebecca Sugar, Clarence by Skyler Page, and the show that I'm discussing for this, is J.G. Quintel's Regular Show. This is a show that bends the traditionalism norms for cartoons, basing the main characters as a Blue Jay, a Raccoon, a Yeti, a Lollipop man, and a Gumball Machine working in a park. The conflict at the end of the episode is always ridiculous, from playing Mini Golf or playing Video Games, no matter the plot of the episode it's always out of place in the end; being a cartoon with an out of place feel, gives inspiration to anyone who wants to go in this creative route.

The Naive Man From Lolliland

J.G. Quintel Interview

I remembered being 3 or 4 when I watched the Joy of Painting on PBS, seeing the man himself, Bob Ross with calm, soothing voice, array of paint supplies, and his signature afro. Whether you are young, old, a novice or a professional, you will always enjoy the work of this great man and what he did for many people. May his skills live and pass on to many aspiring artists out there.
