Fair Cartoon
A Brief History of a Much Loved Cartoon Kitten
You have probably seen Hello Kitty merchandise on sale, and may even be a fan, but do you know where the brand originates? As the name implies, the brand is based around a cat character, the original Kitty is part of a Japanese cartoon, produced by the Sanrio Company and designed by Yuko Shimizu. The brand has become extremely popular since the cartoon was first introduced in 1975, and around the cartoon, a plethora of merchandise has arisen, some of which are considered collectors' items.
The main character is purported to be a female bobtail cat, from Eastern Asia, she is depicted as white, and normally has a bow in her hair, frequently her bow is red, and she sports a red dress. There is much dispute amongst Hello Kitty fans as to her exact origin – within the cartoon, not the origins of her creation. It is commonly believed that she was born in the suburbs of London, England, on the 1st of November 1974. However, the original creative team behind the brand put her place of birth as Sanrio, Japan, and the birth date is correct.
When the cartoon was first broadcast, it was very well received, so much so, in fact, that it was not long after, that her first item of merchandise was put on sale. In 1975, the Sanrio Company produced kitsch style, vinyl purses, with the cartoon character appearing upon them, the following year, 1976, and following much success, the items were exported to the US market, where, again, they were very well received. From this early merchandise, has spawned a plethora of subsequent Hello Kitty commodities, indeed, it is even possible to have credit cards with her picture emblazoned upon them. The original manufacturers of this brand of merchandise, are still in the business today, and ship their goods worldwide; you can find items from as far afield as Tokyo and Timbuktu.
So popular is the brand, among many different types of people (although she is a particular favourite of little girls the world over), that the trademark makes anything from between £1 billion to £4 billion ever year! It is fair to say, that as a brand mark, it has a cult following, this is evident in the masses of paraphernalia that can be bought with this humble bobtail cat featured the star in show, items including: bags, purses, make-up, cards, clothing, toys, alarm clocks, computer accessories, and much, much, more.
A defining characteristic of the cartoon character is that she is normally depicted without a mouth! This is an extremely clever marketing tactic, used by the manufacturer as a psychological device to ensure that people become attached to her as a brand, according to them, the absence of a mouth makes it easier for people to project their feelings upon the character and to, therefore, develop a sense of empathy!

[drawing a cartoon] please help me with my problem =)?
Hi, i'm a designer and i know that being creative is very important.
So it is about a cartoon drawing. But lately, i was very pissed off when my friend stated that one of my drawing is a copycat to some drawing. i just don't how to make an argument with him.
To some degree, design grow/expand by copying other design then improvise it. it IS true. But not 100%, agree?
It is just NOT fair if you see a man, you draw a cartoon of his eyes, then your friend says that it must be a copycat to some drawing style. (having said this, i know that when i draw, i don't think of any other cartoon, I just draw what looks nice to me)
what i do is not to copy other drawing BUT to think how i'm gonna make my drawing more like a drawing, how to make it looks nicer.
Tell me if being creative in making new drawings really does count.
Please help me explain/clear this matter to my friend.
Your friend sounds like a negative critic, and let them babble on. That is want made me stop for awhile. They thought I traced my art. I never did that. I was just that good. All art has influence through out the ages. Master Artist's, went through different styles, and techniques. Rembrandt to Monet to Jackson Pollack, and Walt Disney;s Artist had influence. My point is... So what... You keep up "your" style of drawing. You will developer more and more as time goes on. Before you know it people will say that other artist are trying to copy your work. It's a natural cycle.
Keep up the good work, you'll go a long way. And, please remember that you will always have critic's and not everyone will like your work. But chances are most will.
Do what your doing and don't give up!!! Ever!!!
