Edd Gould was a British animator, voice actor, artist and writer, and creator of the webseries Eddsworld, which featured him and his longtime friends Thomas Ridgewell and Matt Hargreaves. Outside Eddsworld, he often featured in videos made by himself or his friends, notably the ‘I Like Trains’ kid from asdfmovie 2, which he animated.

On 25 March, 2012, Edd passed away after a long battle with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a form of cancer. His death was shocking to many of his close friends, family and fans, but his legacy was carried on by Ridgewell and Hargreaves through the continuation of Eddsworld, which is still continuing to this day.
