How This Blog Moos.

Hello all, I'm Autumn Frazee and I'm going to take a brief moment to outline what goes down on this blog; there are three segments. The first will be called Cow of the Week, and it will be one of my own personal cow drawings that I will compose during the week. Second will be Cows in Animation, honoring all the cows drawn by others who have made it into the industry. Lastly, we will have Cows in Commercialism, honoring the hard working bovine celebrities that give a face to various corporations. Enjoy!

Cow of the Week: March 22nd

... I gotta say it!

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!!

Heh heh... ok, so this week's cow is a tribute to an old show I enjoy called Thunderbirds. It is the creation of Gerry Anderson, made in England in the mid 1960's about a retired astronaut who uses his fortune to create an advanced rescue fleet of "Thunderbird" aircraft/spacecraft. He has five sons who use their Thunderbirds to rescue people from certain death all around the globe. It was made with a type of puppeteering dubbed "supermarionation", but what's amazing about this show is that even though it's almost 50 years old, it is still very good! All of the sets are incredibly well made and the story is intriguing. Often I find myself watching an episode of Thunderbirds over modern day cartoons. The normal Tracy family portraits are just shoulder and head, but I wanted to show a bit more, so Amarath's portrait is unique... it's also unique because she's female. The entire Tracy family was male! Well... except for Grandma, but she didn't participate in International Rescue. It's high time for a Tracy sister!
