			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love it when I accidentally stumble across something that instantly takes me back to being a kid. During my weekly weird round-up on ebay last week I came across the CLASSIC genius that is Garbage Pail Kids trading cards and I was instantly right back in the playground. So of course I  bought 2 packs, a 1984 US series 4 (first picture set below) and a UK series 1. The artwork on these things is amazing and the ideas behind each character are genius. These things definitely put me on the road to doing what I do and inspired me to spend countless hours drawing when I was a kid. There&#8217;s an interesting interview with John Pound, the artist who painted the US series 4 <a href="http://www.normalpeoplelikeyou.com/article_assets/johnpound.htm">here</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_80" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 294px"><a href="http://blog.onebigfreakshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gpk1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-80" title="gpk1" src="http://blog.onebigfreakshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gpk1-284x400.jpg" alt="Maybe when I have a bit more time I'll re-scan 3 or 4 of the best ones and put them back on here bigger so you can see the detail." width="284" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Maybe when I have a bit more time I&#39;ll re-scan 3 or 4 of the best ones and put them back on here bigger so you can see the detail.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.onebigfreakshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gpk21.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-82 aligncenter" title="gpk21" src="http://blog.onebigfreakshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gpk21-287x400.jpg" alt="" width="287" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>I also came across another set of cards which arrived today that I&#8217;d never seen before. Released in 1980, Weird Wheels by Topps look like they were just a US thing which is a shame because they&#8217;re amazing. The majority of the set were painted by artist <a href="http://www.normansaunders.com/">Norman Saunders</a> and I feel like a kid at Christmas to have my hands on these. Amazing detail, fantastic colours, great ideas and super inspiring. Maybe I&#8217;ll have a go at doing my own set of weird cards for disturbed kids, that would be an awesome project. I&#8217;d probably replace the nasty gum inside the packet with something else though, that stuff tasted of nothing after about 4 chews.</p>
