In the last two months I have not written about, but that's because I've been a little busier than normal, especially since my dad started working with an architect in the management of a hotel, and a man and his wife who wanted to help him with the administration of a poultry. So these days because one of my brothers went to the hotel, and I was a cashier at the place where they sell chickens! XD So I could not write, and I've never been able to visit my dA, I hope to tell them about the chickens in more detail later, however, as now I have a little time and wanted to bring some info about the genius behind Mansion Foster! : D Craig MacCracken! For those who are still blown away with, if you read that right: it is true! Craig is on dA, but as the rumor ran very quickly, as people come in hordes of mosquitoes and has asked her a hundred posts cadad day, with questions that obviously do not have time to answer, but I take the liberty investigate, and realized that some if the answer! But as they were scattered by his profile, not many had seen. These are some questions that if answered, I guess it's because it looked interesting! : D For good reason because they believe that others did not return ?.... Anyway, I hope you appreciate this small collection Data curious that with effort and dedication I collected!
The most curious of all responses was he who said this guy:
RogerLOX: I only replies when to STI or someone I know If Its Something inportant: cccccccccc
Craig: This is true.
be surprised! Well as I suspected for a long time, indeed, the only answer to a question when something that seems important or he thinks people should know. Also when you know something and it wants to publicize. He himself said in that answer!

LDEJRuff : Excuse me, Mr. McC. Sorry to ask, but when will Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Season 3 be released on DVD? It's been three years, and still no word. And I feel a little neglected because I haven't gotten a single reply from you since I first contacted you.
Craig: The DVD releases are not up to me but Cartoon Network. But as far as Foster's Season 3 goes I don't think it will ever come out. Years ago we designed all the packaging for it but then it got pulled off their release schedule for some reason. They never told me. I doubt there will be any more Foster's releases as the show is off CN's radar now. The best luck you might have getting the rest of the seasons is iTunes. Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful, I wanted it to come out too.

nicolemhamilton: Lookin' good-- gotta love the flash works. Are those inked-looking drawings flash as well? They sure look'it.

*Moon-manUnit-42 : I've always wanted to know...why is it that some of the shows you worked on like Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff girls and Foster's seem to have a style that resembles the 60's? Not that there is anything wrong with it, I've always loved your work...but I'm curious...
C: I grew up in the 70's on re-runs of 60's shows like Rocky and Bullwinkle and Underdog and I just have always loved that design style.

randomWaffle123 : Why canceled fosters?
C: It wasn't really cancelled per say, a cancellation is when a show is stopped short of what was originally planned. We made every episode we planned and CN aired every episode we made.
When we started the show we knew the best we could get was 6 seasons because CN has never produced more than 6 seasons for any of their original series. It's kind of an unwritten policy they have. So they ordered 6 seasons, we made 6 seasons and wrapped it up.

ACH-theNuts: Can I draw your 1st PPG pic in my own style ?
C: Feel free, anyone can draw the PPG in any style they want.

Ced75: I snuck a peek on Tom Warburton's (KND Creator) blog, and I heard that Wander Over Yonder is being turned into a graphic novel. Any idea what it's about?
C: That's right there is a Wander Over Yonder graphic novel. I wrote it and I'm currently drawing the pages. I can't tell you what it's about though, that would spoil all the fun.

Seiryuga: Since you don't work for CN anymore. That means you can pretty much have unlimited creative freedom of what you can do with your creations.
C: I have unlimited creative freedom on any new things I come up with but not PPG or Foster's. Those are owned by CN and legally I can't do new stuff with those ideas without CN's permission.

1. How do you ink your art, (what sort of ink do you use)

Chocolate-Luver : You probably get this very often, but I was wondering...If I'm looking for a good art institute to persue a career of animation, could you please suggest some to me? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
C: Well one of the best places to go is CalArts. But I believe that in the past few years there have been many animation programs popping up in various art schools. I Hear That the Art Institute now has an animation program, and it's my Understanding That They Have A Few campuses.
Ah! And I almost forgot, I'd put as an extra comment that I did to craig in your profile when I knew I was on dA, so it is here for posterity, I think ... because Craig never replied ....
"It's Amazing to see you in DA! I'm so excited!'m Atrix and I'm from mexico. It's a great honor for me to meet you, I admire you deeply, and I always wanted to Congratulate you for the cartoon Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, here in mexico is translated as "Foster Home for Imaginary Friends" it's the best Cartoon Network Show ever!! It's very creative and so funny, your idea of "imaginary friends" is brillant! and I love the drawing style, the drawings are very expressive and colorful!!
Your cartoon have very things of real life and a wonderful touch of comedy, my favorite character is Wilt!! He's very loveable, I LOVE HIM!!! He's the best character ever made!! He has a wonderful and well-structured personality. Since de first time I watch Foster's I fell in love with him because he's clever, very polite, cheerful, friendly, and helpfull, he has a beautiful soul. I would like to see him more often in the episodes. I love Wilt development, I think wilt's design is very great, I love his long arms and his head, but specially I love his smile, his smile can melt ice!!
I liked very much the Halloween episode where everybody makes a joke to Bloo, because he always made jokes to them, it was very funny. I just loved Wilt's costume!!!I he looked so elegant!! and his false arm, which he wanted to scare children, it was so funny!
I also remember the chapter "Eddie Monster" when Bloo made jokes about him and he leave home, and after he fight because he don't want that their friends think he'sa coward. This is one of my favorite chapters; because there are all, Ed, Bloo, coconut, and of course Wilt! Mac's brother finally receives him deserved, Eduardo knows that he can be brave, and for Wilt comments! with other imaginary friend, It Was a toilet or Something. I Loved These dialogues! and I love wilt's expression, I Turned His eye upward "
