Juxtopoz Ralph Bakshi Magazine Article – Interview by Richard Simon

April2010

“When a gun fired in a Bakshi cartoon, blood resulted. And death. It was real. It scared Disney and Warner, and no wonder.  No Bakshi? No Simpsons. No New Adventures of Mighty Mouse?  No Ren and Stimpy.  Or Adult Swim. Or Clone Wars. Certainly no ultra violent sexy robot anime.  Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings owes much of it’s look – sometimes shot-for-shot – to Bakshi’s 1978 version.  You can see Bakshi’s influence on filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee, and visual artists like Chris McDonnell and James Jean, Bakshi’s students at SVA, David Choe, Arik Roper, and Alan Forbes.

On acetate or canvas, Bakshi veers between hyper-political and hyper-personal.”

- Excerpt from Richard Simon’s interview with Ralph Bakshi in this month’s Juxtapoz.

Get it now before it’s gone from the news stands forever more and your stuck searching ebay for it!  Amazing.
