Jason's Gallery - Ariel as EVA!
My fanart of Ariel, cosplaying as the sexy super spy, EVA, from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and its update, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The reason for this drawing is a response to a great big mystery, who is Suzetta Minet, the voice of EVA. For 20 years, no one knows who was this Suzetta Minet, the lovely, seductive voice of EVA. Not even the internet couldn't give us the info we need, as if she didn't exist, almost like a ghost. Her true identity was as mysterious as the character herself. Fast forward to 20 years later, and after all these years, and with the upcoming release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the identity of the voice behind EVA has been revealed. EVA is officially voiced by, get this, Jodi Benson. That's right, folks, the heart and soul of Ariel the Little Mermaid voiced our lovely super spy. But this isn't the first time she voiced serious characters aside from kid-friendly characters like Ariel and Barbie, for she voiced Tula from The Pirates of Dark Water and Aquagirl from Batman Beyond respectively. The writing was on the wall. I should've guess it before. But, she had good reason not to use her name and use her Suzetta Minet pseudonym, fearing that voicing EVA would tarnish her good name, especially being a Disney Legend among other things. But, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Voicing other characters besides Ariel, especially a super spy as sexiful as EVA, are truly awesome. But as long as God is watching over you, and a large group of fans still cheering you, you are never ashamed. Keep on voicing, sweet Jodi. Whether it's a mermaid or a spy, your talent is truly limitless.

The Life of a Musical Genius - RIP Quincy Jones
This just in.
Legendary music producer and composer, Quincy Jones has died on November 3rd, 2024. He was 91 years old.
Q, as some of his close personal friends call him, was the man responsible some of the talents we got today in the world of music, such as Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin and collaborated with Michael Jackson with the soundtracks Off the Wall and especially Thriller. In 1985, his greatest Magnum Opus was the song, We are The World, which had a who's who of famed music stars like Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Richie, Kenny Rogers, Huey Lewis, Paul Simon, Ray Charles and the aforementioned Michael Jackson to name a few, and was used to raise money for the victims of famine in Ethiopia. The song itself has since become a rallying cry to those who suffering from a natural disaster and willing to help. The perfect song to show our humanity, and that's saying something.
And it was not just with music alone, he also got involved in other media. At the same time he helped MJ with Off The Wall, he did the soundtrack for the movie adaptation of the musical, The Wiz (which is the 70s version of The Wizard of Oz) Later in 1990, through his company, Quincy Jones Entertainment (thanks in part of his deal with both Warner Bros. and NBC), he gave us The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which helped Will Smith jumpstart his movie career thereafter. He also made a cameo appearance in the movie Austin Powers in Goldmember.
With 80 Grammy nominations and 28 Grammys, and so many honors, including those for charity and so forth, Quincy Jones truly lived up to being a musical genius. There wouldn't be Thriller, Fresh Prince and We are The World, if it wasn't for him. Godspeed, Q. Thanks for all the musical memories and then some. Be at peace.
