Part Of My Drive To Be A Cartoonist Is Because Of Stephen Hillenburg. So, Thanks

"Spongebob is the reason I began doodling, I remember when I was in kindergarten, I was sitting next to my friend and she was drawing a picture of Spongebob, I thought it looked absolutely incredible. Me, being the bitter show off that I was, wanted to draw a picture of spongebob better than she did. So I started practicing. And here I am now"

To be honest, I was never a huge fan of Spongebob. I didn't hate it, I just didn't get really into it. Yet I could see why it was popular and well loved. I also appreciate that Stephen was able to create such a memorable cartoon character. We definitely lost him too soon.
