New Store and 7 part DVD series

I recently finished up a new store design. It's designed after one of my favorite things on this planet.....fast food.

I used to eat alot more of it and now have dreams of it cause I can't really eat it. Oh how it's glorious....but I digress...

Check out the new STORE! I even hired a employee to man the till.

I'm not sure how to get flash to open things in a new window so that can be kind of annoying when you click on something. So if any of you internet-ers now the secrets of flash...lemme know.

On a second note,

Veronica Galvez of www.iwanttoshootyou.com who I met in LA @ LA comedy shorts bought a Happy Dog T-shirt for her happy dog. I asked her to send me some photos of her dog wearing the T and she was kind enough to send some to me.
Check out her site! She is a talented photographer and a heck of a bowler.




Is that a happy dog or what?

On a third note,



The Adventures of Attractive Man is complete. A lowbrow, sick and twisted style 7 part comedy series. All done in glorious limited animation.

I compiled it all onto a DVD with plenty of Outtakes and Bloopers by the awesome cast. It was fun to do and went through a lot of learning while making this series.


Check out the trailer!!

Turducken @ the Melbourne International Animation Festival

I saw Mike Geigers "Cuddle Sticks" in NY at the Animation Block Parties opening night. As well as "Fantasie In Bubblewrap" played along with "Turducken" on the later Sunday shows for Animation Block party.

Very cool to be played among the list of films they have:

Goat Away!!

Hey people of earth. What's going on?

I've been super late in posting things. Just up to my gills in paper work, Buying socks, testing kites, doing full flips into shallow water and juggling jagged skull crushing rocks.

Sure these are important things, But not so important that I not inform you of the new little toon I did called "Goat Away".

It was voiced and written by my old friend Stephen Kan-Hai and I.

How did it come to be you ask? Oh...you didn't ask that? Well, I'll tell you anyways...

Goat Away is based on a old inside joke based on our finding comedy in saying the name Bill.
It evolved to be a man slowly turning into a goat while saying the name Bill.
Over the years occasionally we would leave these inside jokes on each others answering machines.

We wrote it up over Christmas holidays and I animated it around January or so. I completely forgot about it. I am working on a 7 part series and writing a whole bunch so I kept forgetting to put it up on the old internet.

So if you haven't seen it here is some inside jokery turned cartoonery.

NBC news & Melbourne International Animation Festival

Howdy doody there kiddy poos. It's your old pal Steve Stark here to tell you that Turducken was invited to be screened in competition (in the late night program) in Melbourne International Animation festival 2009.

Fun fun!! I've never been invited into a festival before. Come to think of it, I've never been invited anywhere....Ever. Now I can finally stop crying myself to sleep & crying myself awake daily.

Also!

I just got word that a segment from Turducken was included on NBC for a promo for LA Comedy shorts 09. It happens to be the only part of the cartoon that I voiced. The Cheif of Police.

"You're on NBC Turducken!!"




I hope all you rascals out there in the internet lands are having a heck of a time.

Till next time..

LA Comedy Shorts 09

I had a great time in LA this weekend. So I thought I put up a whole bunch of pics.
LA Comedy shorts was so fun. Great parties, Great people, Great free stuff.

It's me!

An orange I found in a drawer in the hotel room. Weird.

My Buddy Tak came down to LA as well. My old friend and classmate Michael Fallik from good old Class 55 was there as well. Good to have some friends there in LA. One of my other friends was supposed to come as well, but he bitched out.

The Gun Club was awesome. You get a wicked high after shooting a gun. Kind of like the day after you get laid. Who knew!?

Shooting a Beretta

All those hours playing duck hunt did me well. If Zombies attack, give me a call. I can do head shots like it's no ones business.

Me chillin with Samwise Gamgee

The "Famous People talking about shit" panel

The Downtown Independent. Home of the 09' LA comedy shorts festival.

It kind of looks like we're stuck in that prison General Zod and gang where trapped into in Superman.

AaaaaaaaaahhH!!!

The last shot from LA at LAX.


Overall it was an awesome time. My Cartoon Turducken got a great showing. The other directors showing that night and I did a little Q&A with the audience which was pretty cool.

I met a ton of awesome people, laughed, attended parties, stayed in a great hotel (The Kyoto Grand-nice and cheap care of the festival) shot a gun, Ate at In & Out burger and ate some awesome Korean Bbq.

It was an awesome experience and I recommend that anyone who can make it to LA goes and checks that festival out. It is packed to the brim with awesomeness.

Little bit o' press

I have my name up in Animation Magazine due to the "Lunchlady" Segment I directed for Animation Block Party last year.

Looks like it will be up this February.

LA comedy Shorts 09

I'm goin' Hollywood!

I'm heading to LA for the Comedy shorts 09 fest. I'll be there to see Turducken play 7:30pm on Friday March 6th. As well as see many other awesome funny films playing at the festival.

Naturally I'll be attending the parties and all kinds of fun stuff they have at the fest.

Super fun!

Buy a ticket for Turducken!




I'm pretty sure my Hollywood experience will be similar to this ape's. We even have the same hair color.
