PPP// Past Idols part 1 - A SI (Youtube/Newgrounds)

Back in 2006 I was introduced to the internet,
one of the first sites I remember exploring was Youtube. At the time I was obsessed with a certain kind of cartoon. Cartoons like Sailor moon, Tokyo Mew mew and Pokemon (now of course I know that 'certain kind of cartoon' is anime) and straight away began searching youtube for cartoons similar to what I loved already. I found a Flash animation involving Pokemon characters that captured my attention and love in an instant and held it for years;

 A Si was a Flash animation artist that I think studied animation somewhere in the world; His world was well known amongst a community on youtube and Devientart back pre-2010. In recent years dropped off the map regarding the online social media world and I can't find much information on him anymore. I remember when I first watched his animations I was blown away by how wonderful they were, by all these characters interacting with one another on screen; and this wasn't made by a massive studio or company, but someone like me who loved drawing! His work was a huge inspiration for me to start creating my own youtube animations.

A Si began a 'fan project' in 2009 called 'SS Warrior cats'.
A few segments of animation were completed under his hand, but soon into the development into the youtube series he left the project and hasn't really been heard from (in an online presence) since. At the time I couldn't read very well, but finding out that his new animation project was inspired by a series of books I plucked up the courage to enter my local book store and attempt to develop my reading skills. The youtube series is still being released in yearly episodes, where small group of artists brought together by A Si now lead the project and keep the series alive.

I've recently tried to find some social media outlet to get in contact with the artist to thank him for his work and inspiration; but cannot find an account of the artists that's been active recently. Looking back at my early years developing my MSPaint animations, ASi and his flash animations were  the first 'independent' student animations I'd seen and idolised - that inspired me to developed my skills in art.
