My name is René Capone, and I am a cartoon terrorist. i wanna be good, and I try, but i just have to much to say and to much inspire in others, so i decided to start this blog, and do it for real. I live in San Francisco, I’m an artist and the creator of the Hedgehog Boy Universe. I will be talking allot about Hedgehog Boy and all the characters that inhabit this special place in my mind. The thoughts and ideas filter through me and I give them to you , but its important for us to know that they indeed come from a magic place, a higher truth than me or you. I’ve learned to accept it, welcome it and even like it. My work is not nearly as light hearted as it may first appear…Right down to the core my comics are about empowering people who need to be lifted up, people that deserve to be honored and loved. Sadly we live in a world where that is not always possible, and that why I’m here, thats kind of work that makes me happy. I always vow to make the kind of art that keeps the spirit of its viewers and fans kept close to it’s heart. Now that is some powerful forces at work.
Now you can’t blame me if i maybe give some angry children a couple of bombs and a match. I just wanna give the people a chance for justice. You know the american way and all.
Dear Hedgehog boy and Frank the Bear I am so glad you have both come out of the darkness to play .
as well as bringing some darkness to share -it’s not so bad in balance.
Friends do make good family and have made my life more fun and worthwhile than back when I was a miserable kid and things were far less than just tolerable -
Comic book terrorism rules cuz so much of the way things are really requires a healthy angry response.
I look forward to hearing from you guys and reading your further adventures. My very best pals when I was a kid moving around from place to place , (29 moves in 9 years -guess how many schools) were my lunchboxes transistor radio, a portable record player, my portable mini tape recorder (so i could hear myself speaking out loud) and my little notebooks that i wrote in and drew pictures in..Everything had to be portable, for when we moved or it would be left behind forever. So all my favorite stuff had a handle and HAD to fit into a really small suitcase,or never seen again.That policy was put into place after I lost my little black terrier stuffed toy that I carried everywhere when I was about 7 years old.Gotta stay sharp when everything moves around you and when you are constantly moving.So keep teling stories and keep reacting ,some folks are so very stunned by the turns of life that they still can’t say a single word out loud. keeep in touch I don’t plan on moving soon
