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.
