14 | '''Jordann William "JW" Edwards''' (born January 22, 1996) is a comic artist, illustrator, animator, writer, and entrepreneur. He's the creator of ''Webcomic/{{The Dynamite Twins and Friends}}'' and the co-creator of ''Webcomic/{{Bunny and Bear}}'' with his sister Jazmine. He is also the founder of [=MajesticBlue=] Studios, which houses those projects. And he's a furry; his fursona is '''Bleu Major'''. |
15 | |
16 | He was also involved in ''Literature/SpacePirateCaptainMacTaggart'' (even developing the partial spin-off ''Literature/{{Bloody Cutlass}}''), before ceding control to creators Creator/CraigBlack and Creator/JacobElmer. |
17 | |
18 | His works tend to include {{satire}}, {{parody}}, and {{deconstruction}}; BlackComedy; {{mythology}} and {{fairy tale}}s; ScienceFantasy; the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom; and [[EverybodyHasLotsOfSex tons of sex]], all drenched in a brightly-colored, surreal {{hyperpop}} aesthetic, particularly in ''TDT and Friends''. He also brings that same hyperpop visual aesthetic (in a much tamer, kid-friendly package) to ''Bunny and Bear''. |
19 | |
20 | He's a huge champion of diversity in comics and animation and a champion of pushing both as art forms. He basically sees himself as a bit of an activist, promoting works from non-white and LGBTQ artists, of which he is both. |
21 | |
22 | Oh, and he's also an occasional musician and record producer under the alias (and sona) Bleu Major, with an EP released. He has also taken a mentorship role when it comes to music; he's currently one-half of a hyperpop duo with his little sibling (not technically, but he sees them as one) nanochi called bunnykit. As of December 2023, he has also become creative director for Music/{{Infurnopawz}}, with the first few singles set for 2024. The latter partnership includes both of them running Red Castard Studios (RCS), a virtual studio and music label. |

24 | '''Creator/co-creator of:''' |
25 | * ''Webcomic/TheDynamiteTwinsAndFriends'' |
26 | * ''Webcomic/{{Bunny and Bear}}'' (with Jazmine Edwards) |
27 | * ''Literature/{{Bloody Cutlass}}'' |
28 | |
29 | Music released (as Bleu Major): |
30 | * ''bleu major'' (EP) |
31 | * "journey to freedom" (with Infurnopawz) |
32 | |
33 | !!He frequently invokes: |
34 | |
35 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny |
36 | * HotBlooded: He is ''very'' passionate about the things he creates. |
37 | * JockDadNerdSon: Whereas his father was an athlete (back in high school), Jordann was, and still is very much a nerd, complete with NerdGlasses as of 2017. |
38 | * MyNaymeIs: It's Jordan, but spelled with two Ns. You can thank his mother for that one. |
39 | * OddFriendship: With Creator/JacobElmer. They remain close friends despite having radically different drawing styles, musical tastes, family upbringings, and political/religious views. |
40 | |
41 | !!His works provide examples of: |
42 | * AmazingTechnicolorWorld |
43 | * {{Animesque}}: His art is pretty reminiscent of certain anime tropes. He nonetheless doesn't consider it anime, but a blend of various styles. |
44 | * AuthorAppeal: |
45 | ** His love of urban culture (specifically [[HipHop hip hop]]) is reflected the most in ''TDT and Friends''. In other series, it's usually certain characters; the biggest example is Blackmask, originated in ''Literature/{{Space Pirate Captain MacTaggart}}'', whom he likes so much that he helped create a version of her that appeared in ''TDT''. |
46 | ** His works frequently invoke tons of {{Fanservice}}. |
47 | ** Many of his female characters show off their midriffs often. |
48 | ** Like Creator/RussellTDavies, he places his favourite cities at the forefront (his home city, Cincinnati, as well as the San Francisco Bay Area, and even Toronto, Canada). |
49 | *** Also like Mr. Davies, his characters [[EveryoneIsBi can be bisexual]], whether they're open or not - for instance, In ''TDT'', Maxie is ''very'' bisexual, while his brother Jacqui has his moments. Shep, another ''TDT'' character, is a LovableSexManiac who is willing to sleep with ''anyone''. |
50 | ** He also names certain things after his family members and friends. |
51 | * BigBrotherMentor: In his TDT and [=BnB=] stories. There's always a character or two who may act as a big brother. |
52 | ** This was inspired by real life precedent, with himself being an older brother, and him having two older brothers, but also being a "big brother" to some who are not blood related, including nanochi, as mentioned above. |
53 | * CanonWelding: Overlaps with ContinuityNod. Upon building up the universe, he's added elements of other series. This is not restricted to a series of his own creation, but also includes those of others: |
54 | ** In ''Bloody Cutlass'', many elements from ''[=MacTaggart=]'' appear. |
55 | ** Speaking of ''[=MacTaggart=]'', references to ''TDT and Friends'' are increasingly apparent on both. |
56 | * EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: Many, if not all, of his characters have "slutty moments". Yes, even the males. |
57 | * {{Hyperpop}}: His ''TDT'' and ''[=BnB=]'' stories have elements, visually and audibly, that are simplified ''and'' blown up to their extremes. Goes to show that he's spread the aesthetic to the visual arts. |
58 | * InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: He places his name over the logos of the things he's created himself. |
59 | * SurrealHumor |
60 | * WorldOfFunnyAnimals: He has a penchant for having a world where animals interact with one another. |
