Will Carsola and Dave Stewart

I was trying to find a way to contact the makers of Mr. Pickles but i've found it near impossible to find any email addresses or anything. I eventually found that they did an 'ama' (ask me anything) on Reddit. That means they have accounts so i've created an illustrator account on reddit so that it is separate from my personal one. There is an option to private message on Reddit. It's not the best medium for contacting them but as it is all i have at this point i think it will have to do.

I enjoy Mr. Pickles because it entertains the darker side of humour. Their animation pushes the boundaries of what is allowed to be screened on tv. The cartoon is released under Adult Swim, i think if i was to make a cartoon the content would be most fitting to the kind of humour on Adult Swim. I think i should contact Adult Swim and ask what kind of information and work they would need to consider making a cartoon.

I have done a separate email to each of them and i am trying to make them different so that they see that i have tailored these messages to them personally. 

For Will Carsola

I gave it a silly subject line, i think i will use the same subject line for each because i think it works as it is related to their practice and it is a pun which is something that runs through my practice.

my message:

Hi i was trying to find an email outside of reddit but my web surfing skills have proved inadequate in that area.

I'm a 3rd year illustrator at university in Leeds (uk) i was wanting to ask how you came to make mr pickles, did you propose it to adult swim or did they approach you? do you have any advice for a newbie illustrator?

Would love to hear from you

thanks

I wanted to explain why i'd used reddit as my form of communication because it is an odd way to do it. And hopefully by this they will see fit to provide me with an email address maybe?

For Dave Stewart

my message:

Hi 

I've been searching for a way to contact you and Will Carsola, this was the only medium i found.

I just wanted to express my pure love of your creation 'mr pickles'. I love the explosion of dark humour that asks no forgiveness. 

I was wondering how you came up with the concept of mr Pickles, were any of the characters based on people you know?

Also any advice you could gig to an up and coming illustrator would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

I tried to use different questions on each, because as they created the cartoon together i assume they know and talk to each other so i don't want it to look like i've just sent out a generic email to them both.
