The first time i watched the Ren & Stimpy show, I felt physically sick (I’d always been one of those kids that couldn’t handle runny stuff out in the backyard). I was immediately shunned by my friends and I placed myself into hard training to learn to cope with the extreme grotesque close ups Bill Wray illustrates within the cartoon to fit back in socially. I eventually suceeded and have had a soft spot for the show ever since. Bill Wray continues as an artist producing work which follows through from his famous work on Ren and Stimpy and Mad Magazine, through to haunting landscapes of his local surrounds in California. His blog, which is updated regularly is a cool little insight into his current works.
