TEDDY RUXPIN
ONLINE STAFF |
|
I began this site 10 years
ago this August (2008) and throughout the years I've recieved
help from several individuals. A couple of these have become staff members of
the site, Information below.
Webmaster Josh
Isaacson
I'm a recently turned 24
year old male living in the Western United States. I've been a fan
of Teddy Ruxpin since 1986, when I recieved the talking toy as a
Present on my 3rd Christmas. I was further attached to the
character when the TV series came on the air. In the summer of
1997, after a few years in a box, I re-discovered Teddy and took my
new found love of the internet, mixed it with my growing fascination
of how Teddy Ruxpin worked and the brilliant writing of the stories
and put them together to form this website. By far, the
highlight of this project is my continued friendship with Ken
Forsse, the brilliant man who created Teddy.
I work a
full-time job in the private sector and also have my own part-time
business doing small graphics & web design projects. I
previously worked for a newspaper as a Graphic Artist and hope to do
that again someday, at least if I don't become rich and famous
anyway. In my freetime I enjoy the outdoors, basketball,
Country Music Bars and having fun. I also love movies &
other TV shows, my favorites are probably Forrest Gump, Planes
Trains & Automobiles, In The Line of Fire and Live Free or Die
Hard. As far as TV goes I like the oldies... Mister Ed, TAXI,
Cheers... the one new show I do like is the brilliantly written
"Breaking Bad" on AMC. My favorite musical artists are KISS,
Chris LeDoux,
Tim
McGraw, Tracy Lawrence and Theory of a Deadman.
My favorite
Teddy Ruxpin storylines are "Grubby's Romance",
"The Day Teddy
Met Grubby" and the TV episode
"Captured"
Josh was interviewed by USA Today in
2006 regarding
Teddy's
return.
Art Director Ben Bonser
Ben Bonser is a creative
consultant and art director on the site. He aides in the process and
sometimes creates graphics for the site, and generally contributes
his ideas in brainstorming sessions on design issues.
Ben is an English-born artist and writer who is considered to
be that little gnome in Josh's desk drawer. Back in 1999, he began a
project based on Teddy Ruxpin with the goals of being part of the
creative process behind the Teddy Ruxpin character and to bring the
cartoon back to the screens one day. Although his memories of the
cartoon are fuzzy at best (he was three at the time), Ben has
gathered a lot of information and images to rediscover the World of
Teddy Ruxpin. He is the founder of the LegRux-THoR Expansion
Project.
His favorite movies are Batman Begins, The Eye (Oriental
Horror) and The Ring. on the gaming front, Ben enjoys Project
Zero/Fatal Frame, Dynasty Warriors, Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction
and Devil May Cry 1/2/3.
Ben's favorite music includes Farnheit (Or Indigo Prophecy)
Onimusha and various other soundtracks, Korn, Evanesence, Disturbed,
Millencollin, Nickleback and Creed's song "Higher"
Feature Contributor
Vincent
Conroy
Vincent is new to the staff, but not to the
viewers... Vincent was the webmaster for several years of "Perdicas'
Teddy Ruxpin Site"
and out of all of the fansites that popped up
in the late 80's, his was by far one of the best. We decided a year
or so ago to merge our sites, and I look forward to Vincent's
forthcoming contributions to the site, both from the content that he
had originally on his own site and content he will add in the
future.
