Cowabunga Gentlemen and Ladies! It’s time for the adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja MINIon! You’ve heard about Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, & Raphael – but do know about Caldecott? Since the British have such a deep martial arts history he carries around the only thing he could find laying about and decided to keep it after watching “Shawn of the Dead.” Bad guys beware- who needs pizza?!? Just don’t get between this MINIon and his pasty!
It is kind of funny what you find in your archives… this was one I had drawn and scanned (but never colored) before MTTS 2014. I’m working on another project and found it with the MINIon #1938. Having slept since I created it, I was trying to figure out where the number came from. I knew it had to be after a famous British artist, and after a quick search I realized it was “Caldecott” since the first Caldecott Award for Children’s illustration was given out in 1938. I decided to switch it to Randolph Caldecott’s birth year, because I can.
