It's my birthday, Have a cartoon

(That's me on the right...I've grown so old that I've turned into an old lady. It happens..)

I was going to hold off on uploading this new toon so I could submit to some festivals....Alas, I am short on funds. Plus I was thinking the other day (never tried it before!) and realized that the internet gives. All because of the internet I've won a super awesome cintiq and got a super awesome shout-out from Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier.

Bless you internet. Bless you right in the face...

Thanks for everything!



Now, Step back in time & check out a cartoon based on a joke by my old buddy Steve Kan-Hai & myself. (Not unlike Goat Away!)



"Before you kids had your fancy cars and your pogo sticks we had horses. When those horses were cold, we had to start em' up like any of your fancy cars of today Consarnit!"

The Starktoons Podcast is back. It never really went anywhere, it's just that I hadn't touched it in a year. (haha touched it...)

I got a request for a download of FLS2. So now you can watch it on your Ipod/Iphone to your hearts content.

Or if you are like "Fuck your podcast you jackass! I just want the FLS cartoons". I say...fair enough...little harsh. So while I'm crying myself to sleep you can download those 2 right now >>

From now on I swear to keep it up to date and put all my new cartoons up there. Or you can have my first born child. Seriously, take it...(I fear having children for at least 5 more years.)

Cartoon Hangover Redux

I got an email from Frederator letting me know that Bear-Horse's Cartoon Hangover Episode is on youtube today. When they first uploaded it, It was taken down right away due to the stock footage boobies in the intro/outro. It was too hot for youtube.

Who knew a couple of seconds of boobies were so controversial?

It's been put up again!!

Hoorah!!

Check out the censored C.H. Episode here


In honor of this occasion I present you with......Kool and the Gang! Singing their classic "Too Hot!"

Turducken: The Series Promo

3 birds, 1 hero....Turducken the series!

This is a promo I'm sending out all over the place with the Turducken series pitch!! WoooO!

From episode:" Now paging Dr.Turducken"

From episode:"Turducken goes to College"

From episode:" Major League Turducken"

If you wanna see Turducken The Series on the old boob tube throw some love on the YouTube comments for me and maybe I can grassroots this rascal into existence.

I've had some luck in the past with a Canadian TV network. They didn't want to take the series but wanted to play the short. That just wasn't good enough...

I want it all!!....like a guy who just put up his house at a Vegas table and is considering putting up his children as collateral.

So it's to the US with me and my pitch.

Ah yes...the US....where dreams come true....where cartoons are played 24 hours...and candy falls from the sky

CANDY!!!

Starktunes?

I threw up some songs I've done over these many years.....I just threw them up......all over the place.

Sure they might not be as good as Nickelback or Aaron Carter or even that great fantastic song that I love just....just so fucking much Steal my sunshine by the group "Len".

I sure don't wanna commit suicide when I listen to those goldies....No way!


But you might once you listen to the tunes I've been a part of...maybe they'll make you smile..maybe they might even make you laugh..

Why not right? Why not....

Happy Birthday Channel Frederator!

Happy birthday to you!!! Happy birthday tooooo Yououoououououuouou~AHH!! YEAH!!!

Break out your favorite Jay-z or Snoop song and let's dance like no one has danced before. It's our old friend Channel Frederator's birthday!!

On this special occasion, some folks over at CF asked some of us animator types if we wanted to do a 4 second animation of what Fredbot would do on his birthday.

The only thing that came to mind....

Fredbot would be trying to talk his physiotherapist into an H.J.

After all that's what birthday's are all about. Am I wrong?

Click on Fredbot's smilin' face above to see the episode.

(Mines is about 2:45 in)

Have a heck of a bday there Frederator!

For the Love of SMod 2

I love SModcast so much... I made another cartoon about it.

I did a limited animation of a excerpt from SModcast Episode 83: Aquatic Justice.

(I just shot the video of the sea in the opening credits this morning. A few blocks from my house.)

It of course stars our heroes Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier (Smosier Fish).

They go on a undersea adventure where they discover Sharks, Aquaman and Marijuana.

Nuff said.

Check it out on Youtube!

Bear-Horse.....IN 3D!!!

"Look away! It's hideous!!"

If you thought Bear-Horse ruled or sucked last time....... you are in for a treat!

Cause it will rule or suck once again in a new dimension. A third dimension. The sexiest dimension there is.

So get those 3d glasses ready this Friday the 23rd.

F.C.C.F 2009 NY trip wrap up

Hey! What the heck is up?!

I've been home for a while and haven't posted a thing about the trip to NY. I've been busy. Doing stuff. Cool stuff. Like hanging outside the 7-11, trying my first cigarettes, and getting adults to buy alcohol for me. It's been great. I feel cool.

But enough of that! Time to show you what NY was like.

What do ya know? It's a big apple.......in the big apple

You can see the Chrysler building on the way to the Friars Club.

This place is the one of the greatest places ever. The ultimate clubhouse. They even play Goodfellas music the whole time. So many celebrities of old have partied in this place. The Rat Pack, JFK, Marlyn Monroe, The Pope, Presidents, Seinfeld, Robin Williams, Scorcese, Robert De Niro, Chevy Chase, Richard Prior and so much more. They are in the pictures on the walls everywhere.

This is Ed Sullivan's giant head monument in the Ed Sullivan room.

Yes I even took a picture in the bathroom... It's possible I've peed in the same bathroom as JFK and the Pope. I'm putting that on my resume.

These pics are all from the Short Filmmakers party night on Friday the 25th.
Free booze? I was told that at the Friars it's always "Free". There is never and cash behind the bar. They do it old school where someone always covers it on their tab and they take care of it later. Awesome.

Scattered short filmmakers

Some of the super cool people I met at the fest.

That's my shocked face.

That's my drinking juice next to pictures face

Rockefeller center

Our friendly neighborhood reporter from the IFA on the left and Max Mentzer creator of "F word pizza". It's a good one.
Good people.


Some central park

Check out this sweet horse!

I gotta find that horse on facebook.

Outside the Paley Center

Inside the Paley center where the screenings and q&a's were.

Foggy Sunday.

I love Mcdonalds

Times square

This last photo is a pic from The Salt Lake city airport. (One of my stopovers). Or S.L.U.T. >> Salt lake city, Utah.


Overall it was an awesome experience. I met some super cool people, Eric and Charlie that ran the festival were awesome & The Friars club was godly. I felt unworthy in it's presence. It was really great of them to fly me out there. I thanked them profusely anytime I could.

I also didn't get murdered in the hostel I stayed at! Bonus!

Lastly, I leave you with a brief video of times square
