</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">My first reaction was anger. Damn it, Ricky, this is way too soon. And you were such an extraordinary talent. What a waste! Anger at myself for ignoring his last message asking to meet so he could apologize over our last argument. I'll be taking that regret to the grave. But the anger in me is long gone and now I'm just sad. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">Thanks to Gabe Swarr, I met Ricky back in 2003. We were both young artists from Mexico City trying to make it in the industry. We connected instantly. He joked that I was too Mexican. I shot back that he wasn't Mexican enough. And for some reason, even thought we were both natural Spanish speakers, we only spoke in English. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">While we were both working on Mucha Lucha I fell in love with his mischievous and subversive boards. I really loved designing for him. We got into huge fights but we always made up, like real friends. As soon as I had my first pilot at Disney, Ricky was the first person I asked to help me board a chunk. When he turned in his part, I was crying and laughing my ass off. Ricky, like usual, had done way more than I asked. And he completely poured his heart and soul into it. He just couldn't help himself. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">After that, I swore than anything I ever worked on, Ricky would be my wild card. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">Years later, and after working together on other shows and pilots, El Tigre was greenlit for series at Nickelodeon. I asked Ricky to board the first episode of the series, which was very difficult. It would be his first digital board. We were still trying to figure out the show, the writing and the crew. He jumped in fearlessly. Like before, he did way more than anyone asked and he poured his heart and soul into that massive board. He was under a microscope. The board was a mess with genius ideas sprinkled all over it. He was almost fired after that one. But he kept at it and worked his ass off. Ricky kept pushing the envelope. His Tigre episodes are some of the most beloved, inventive, subversive and mischievous we made. He was so good, writers would request him to board their scripts. In 2008, El Tigre won the Annie for best show. It was for "The Grave Escape", a Day of the Dead themed two part episode Ricky boarded (with Eddie Trigueros). Ricky had come through yet again.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">As time passed, we began to grow apart. He was fed up with the industry and turned me down when I asked him to board our last Disney pilot. He was done with the studios. The last time we had dinner, he scared me with some of his new radical and extreme ideas. He insulted everything we had worked on together. This was very painful to hear. He implied I was a sell out for selling the studios my personal stories, art and heart. I was furious and I said things to him I will always regret. When the bill came, he paid to mock me and we went our separate ways.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">By this point, his personal comics got sadder, hilarious and heartbreaking. He was baring his soul. We should have all seen this coming. Maybe he wanted to meet one last time to say good bye. I'll never know. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">All I know is that the Ricky I loved, the funny mischievous genius, the one that changed my life, that Ricky will stay with me forever. I will always tell his story and keep his memory alive.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;">Adios, hermano. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">We will meet each other again some day.</span><br />

He was the first true animation artist I ever met. He reviewed my portfolio when I was 17 and told me, while looking through my soul, that my artwork was "krap!" He accepted me into the program but made me promise to create honest work that came from within. He completely changed the way I thought about art, film and animation. As a foreign artist (when I asked him where he was from, he said "Like you, I'm not from here.") who had worked in the American animation studios, Jules managed to keep his artistic identity and voice intact. To me, that was super macho and made me idolize him. And he had a mustache!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1oN49ZBL5mcCOXuZw7Y6LqaidSx6rq5K065cQhiYwBETylG9cMZIHxxbO3vfZPjHn_73uSe3jkNCyTe2l3h7cYpdhzk7X2TIsQTA0zFP0YIQcGy8fJk0_T44t-sYPmvDpMkmzLBM4tN8/s1600-h/JulesEngelSmall.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1oN49ZBL5mcCOXuZw7Y6LqaidSx6rq5K065cQhiYwBETylG9cMZIHxxbO3vfZPjHn_73uSe3jkNCyTe2l3h7cYpdhzk7X2TIsQTA0zFP0YIQcGy8fJk0_T44t-sYPmvDpMkmzLBM4tN8/s400/JulesEngelSmall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325484353345125794" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Experimental Animation Bad Ass</span> <a href="http://www.netropolitan.org/engel/engel_main.html">JULES ENGEL</a><br /><br /></div>I would always get up really early to try to have breakfast with him in the school cafeteria. Sometimes he would tell me stories from his incredible & heartbreaking past, sometimes we talked about the Lakers (like me, he was a huge fan) and sometimes we would even talk about animation. Color was a huge topic we often discussed and fought over. I lost every single time. He really encouraged me to look at my favorite Mexican painters for inspiration (he loved Miguel Covarrubias & Rivera) and made me fall in love with Picasso. He watched tons of films (and for some reason he LOVED Ron Howard) and he would always dissect what made them special.

I think he had seen so much pain in his life that he wanted our films to inspire and reflect the best in all of us. "It's your film..." he would say but I could tell how he really felt.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 388px; height: 180px;" alt="http://emsh.calarts.edu/%7Ejramirez/SC01.JPG" src="http://emsh.calarts.edu/%7Ejramirez/SC01.JPG" /><br /><br /></div>Eventually my thesis film "<a href="http://www.super-macho.com/carmelo.html">Carmelo</a>" became about a little boy who runs away in the middle of the night and dies bullfighting a massive bull to make his father proud. Jules was not crazy about the story ("you kill a child!"). He was also very disappointed when I told him I was doing it in CG. He warned me about how cold and soulless computer art could be and every time things weren't going well his words rang heavy in my heart. When I finally showed him the finished version he slapped me in the face and said, "You son of a bitch! You did it." He then stood up smiling, put his hat on and walked away. I will never forget that day. I love you Jules!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Please join me and some truly incredible and world renowned artists filmmakers for the following event honoring the legacy of Jules.

Back then there were no Mexican characters, so a giant green monster had to do.
