as these desks were new after Nickelodeon terminated his contract and took over production for themselves. The painting of Ren is not the work of John K.

His predatory exploits are irrefutably horrific and I encourage you to read up on it to educate yourself. Regarding Ren and Stimpy’s creator John Kricfalusi, who is guilty of multiple sexual abuses, this desk and giveaway does not in any way mean I support him or his actions. I’ve created thousands of pieces of art on this desk. It was my work-at-home desk for the first half of the 2020 quarantine. I moved it back to Los Angeles when I returned to the animation industry in 2014. I moved it with me to Colorado where I used it as a freelance illustrator for 13 years. It became my art desk at home in Pasadena. (The desk was built new in 1993 when Nickelodeon took over show production from Spumco.) What a great surprise! Nobody else’s desk had massive artwork on it. So when it came time to move the desk home, I discovered the painting of Ren and learned about its origins on Ren and Stimpy. It had been against a wall the whole time and I’d never seen the back. The old ones were offered to the artists to purchase. In 1998, Nickelodeon opened a newly remodeled Animation Studio complete with modern animation desks. As a background designer, this was my desk on the show. Rocko’s Modern Life had been winding down so desks and supplies were transferred to the Hey Arnold crew. My first animation job was on Hey Arnold at the start of season 1 production in 1996.
