Edd Gould

Description from original post (created 2012-03-30 01:01):

Eddsworld is an independent British comedic flash animation production company that was created by Edward Gould (known informally as Edd Gould) in 2004. Eddsworld was also part of CakeBomb (a dissolved media production collective). Eddsworld comprised sixty-nine episodes (called eddisodes) with thirty-two of them being full "eddisodes", over 150 comics, flash games, and various art work distributed on the home website, YouTube, Albino Blacksheep, Newgrounds, DeviantART, and the BBC.[2] The episodes were the focal point of the organization, which starred Edd, Tom, Matt, and previously Tord and ran anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Animations were created solely by Edward Gould and co-written by himself and colleagues Tom Ridgewell, Tom Bown, Tord Larsson and Matt Hargreaves. Eddsworld was created using Adobe Flash, a computer animation program.

On 25 March 2012, Gould died aged 23 after a six-year-long battle with cancer. However, in the announcement made by Thomas Ridgewell (TomSka) and Matthew Hargreaves (wallycube), Edd had left part one of the next Eddsworld episode, a two parter. Tom and Matt will create the second part. The future state of the series after this is currently unknown.
