Today, I'm painting side 2 of one of my favourite Porky Pig cartoons. See the look on that dogs face? A Chuck Jones signature , you can see where Max came from for the grinch. This cartoon makes me laugh several times, especially the visuals I choose to paint... but it also reminds me of a cartoon prediction that came true, 9/11. (more tomorrow).
Cartoon predictions' are nothing new The Simpsons are famous for them, many coming true -years later. How did they know? Were they just good guesses? I think most don't realize or appreciate the research that goes into cartoons/animation. Disney was a stickler for details - why his creations are still admired decades later as some of the greatest animated films ever created. Curiosity, research, comedy have humans creating these cartoons' and they ponder everything from science fiction books to reading anticipated scientific breakthroughs, leading to ideas spilling over into the art.
Blue Eye Samurai is a perfect example and no doubts cause for it being the success it is, largely due to historical reference. Artists study ancient materials/clothing, everyday household goods, weapons and traditions, even Samurai moves' and incorporate them into the art. So maybe some of it is guessing but I think some are genuine predictions from cartoonist profits. They're profits on every topic & from every time. Female profits use to be considered witches' (usually by threatened, insecure, egotistical men). It is a gift to 'see' into the future, some might not appreciate. Either way, it's difficult to explain some of these accurate predictions. Here are a few specific predictions mentioned and when created to when they came true, : https://time.com/4667462/simpsons-predictions-donald-trump-lady-gaga/.
I am not a Simpsons fan, I don't think I've watched more than10 episodes but I've witnessed too many predictions (now true) in the other animated hit "Futurama" . Either way - it gives you a new perspective on cartoons' & their creators.
Enjoy this day the Lord has made! It's been chilly & wet the past few so mushrooms must be popping! I'm going to try to squeeze in painting and exploring and baking into this day - how about you?
