So as I write myself ito the night, calling it a day after completing a whopping 15 seconds of my next big thing, I look at the date and think of a very special person.
Edward Duncan Ernest Gould was born on October 28th, 1988 in Isleworth, England, but was better known by his Internet name, Eddsworld. And although he began animating in 2003, he never really drew much attention until 2005, when he made an animation in which two boys fall in love with their lesbian heighbour. I never heard of Eddsworld until 2010.
So there you got a 11 3/4 me, surfing the Internet when I came across this video named "WTFuture" by a guy who called himself Eddsworld; I watched it and enjoyed every second of the 10 minute film.
Baturally, it wasn't much time until I planned my OWN cartoon in which I used some previously designed characters (except cooler).
So, I spent countless hours trying to emulate him, putting a great deal if effort into my recently created masterpiece, hoping that I would, TOO, become an Internet sensation; episode one wouldn't be animated in two years.
So on the night of March 27th, 2012, with a little over 6 episodes written, I came across this video called "RIP Edd Gould". Because of Edd's big sense of humor, I thought it was an April Fools joke, but my soul was crushed when I learn Edd had actually passed away.
Edd is in a better place now, filled with cokes and bacon, and although he cannot see it, I dedicate every single animation to his honor.

1988-2012
