My Initial Inspiration

Anyone that has been on Youtube should recognise this face. If not let me fill you in. This is Thomas Ridgewell or more well known as Tomska,to the Youtube Community anyway. He is an Animator,Musician,Actor, Director and one of my inspirations. He first started on his path with a friend from his Secondary school Edd Gould, who sadly died of cancer in early 2012, working on a series of animations called Eddsworld that mainly focused around Edd Gould, Thomas Ridgewell, Matt Hargreaves and in the earlier series Tord Larsson

(Blue-Tom. Red-Tord. Green-Edd. Green/Purple-Matt)

 These adventures were centred around Edds four friends mainly and their adventures outside of school. All of these Episodes, dubbed Eddisodes, Were all made using flash. Many of their adventures were just random things that Edd would dream up and animate with his friends. Tom mainly took the role of voice acting but also dabbled in directing a few episodes including the episode "movie-makers".

From his beginnings with Edd Gould, he Studied at The University Of Lincoln, which is where he met many of his friends that are featured in many of his early videos. Tomska's most popular series is called "ASDF movies" these Animations put Tomska on the map for millions of YouTubers. The first video of the ongoing series has amassed a view count of 44,706,759 on its own. He has so far gotten 2,123,857 subscribers on his main channel and 409,215,969 views altogether. He is by far My favourite YouTube up-loaders because of his consistency to provide new videos that always make me laugh and entertained over multiple time of viewing.

My reason for him being my inspiration is that he is not afraid to create his own humour and even if its complete gibberish take consolation that he has made one person happy. He has a lot of talent and has inspired a lot of people including myself.
