With some office chair and desk adjustments, you can dramatically decrease the likelihood of any injury or chronic pain from sitting in your office space. These are the areas that are most susceptible to injury and/or pain because of the activities we do at our desks: writing, reading, typing, and looking at screens. Specific areas of susceptibility on the body include the wrists, back and neck. Chronic pain can be caused by sitting at a desk for much of your working day, especially when sitting incorrectly, or at the wrong desk height, too. It’s 57.25” high and the desktop height when laid flat is 28.5” high.While office jobs tend to cause fewer injuries than more physical jobs, that doesn’t mean you’re immune from chronic pain. It’s sturdy as hell, made of plywood, and built to last. If you don’t move as often as I have, it won’t be as big a deal. I’ve done this at 8 different homes so it’s possible, but not easy. You have to disassemble part of the desk and remove your home’s doors from their hinges in order to get it into a room. This thing is a bitch to move because it barely fits through a standard sized doorway. The desk truly is made for creating analog artwork - good old fashioned pencil or ink on paper, or painting. Because of the drawer underneath, there isn’t much lateral room for seat positioning, thus accessing multiple forms of technology is restrictive. Cords have to hang over the sides to be brought onto the desktop.Ī 22 inch Cintiq will sit on it but there is barely enough room for it AND a laptop or keyboard.
Cords can be run underneath it but there isn’t an elegant way to bring them up from behind when the top is laid flat. While this desk is amazingly cool, it’s not the most convenient thing for running modern tech. I just always left what was there as it stayed hidden beneath the white plexiglass. And in one corner are a couple of crude doodles, what looks like a middle finger up and a - you figure it out yourself. There’s also a word ballon that reads, “All I vant ess da fame” pointing to nobody. Near the bottom is an amphibian like character in a top hat. Underneath the plexi on the wood are some pencil drawings. This desk spent a mere 2 years with Ren and Stimpy during its 28 year life. It was my Hey Arnold desk where I created hundreds of backgrounds in Arnold’s world, and thousands more positive artworks in the two decades since, including art for my current job on Disney’s Big City Greens. However, for me, this desk had meaning long before I knew who John K. And we still don’t know the actual artist. I like the painting, always had conflicted feelings about the show itself, and certainly don’t like the person from whom the show originated. But the show exists in history and I happen to have a piece of it. If you want nothing to do with Ren and Stimpy and think nobody else should either, I support your feelings. as these desks were new after Nickelodeon terminated his contract and took over production for themselves. The painting of Ren is not the work of John K. His predatory exploits are irrefutably horrific and I encourage you to read up on it to educate yourself. Regarding Ren and Stimpy’s creator John Kricfalusi, who is guilty of multiple sexual abuses, this desk and giveaway does not in any way mean I support him or his actions. I’ve created thousands of pieces of art on this desk. It was my work-at-home desk for the first half of the 2020 quarantine. I moved it back to Los Angeles when I returned to the animation industry in 2014. I moved it with me to Colorado where I used it as a freelance illustrator for 13 years. It became my art desk at home in Pasadena. (The desk was built new in 1993 when Nickelodeon took over show production from Spumco.) What a great surprise! Nobody else’s desk had massive artwork on it.
So when it came time to move the desk home, I discovered the painting of Ren and learned about its origins on Ren and Stimpy. It had been against a wall the whole time and I’d never seen the back.
The old ones were offered to the artists to purchase. In 1998, Nickelodeon opened a newly remodeled Animation Studio complete with modern animation desks. As a background designer, this was my desk on the show. Rocko’s Modern Life had been winding down so desks and supplies were transferred to the Hey Arnold crew. My first animation job was on Hey Arnold at the start of season 1 production in 1996.
