Animation artist John K. has been discussing his involvement with Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz world tour.

John K. – who made his mark in the 1990s with the Nickelodeon cartoon ‘The Ren & Stimpy Show’ -  has created an animation video that opens Cyrus’ live show.

The artist was introduced to the ‘Wrecking Ball’ star by Diane Martel, the director behind Miley Cyrus’ ‘We Can’t Stop Video’.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about his experience of working with Miley Cyrus, John K. said:

“I just went out and grabbed a bunch of tabloids because her picture was all over them, so I started doing caricatures of her using the tabloids, but then I asked, 'Can I meet her and just spend an hour with her or something so I can draw her in person?' You see more subtleties in real life than you do in photos.”

He went on:

“She was really nice and very creative and all for doing the weird drawings. I drew some ideas on the spot. I did this drawing of her French-kissing a giraffe. I was real nervous [and didn't want to] offend her or anything, but she said, 'Oh yeah, do that! Get that in there!'”

John K. also revealed that he had no reservations about working with the 21-year-old pop provocateur as he explained:

“I'm kind of surprised when I read this stuff that everybody's shocked that rock & roll is edgy. Hasn't that been going on for 60 years? Isn't that the point? I don't think anybody who writes these articles is actually shocked. They just figure it's a good way to sell magazines. Kids want rebellion. I don't know why anybody's shocked that there's rebellion amongst youth today.”
