Animation Block Party 2010 - AMIH





Howdy doody partners! A Moment in History will be playing at this years ABP. I went to ABP in 2008 for Turducken's premiere. It was sooo much fun. It's where I met some NY friends and just plain fell in love with Lady Liberty. With her sexy green dress, her big ol' toes, her torch and that big crown thingy.

I'm gonna live in that city someday...oh yes....maybe the giant green ball & chain and I will get an apartment together. Those will be the days. I can't promise I wont cheat on her with other statues...but I can sure pretend to.

Anyhoo, If you are in NY check it out. ABP is always a good time. Plus, free beer! Not even Gandhi could say no to that!

Check it!

SModimations @ SModcast.com



Check out the SModimations in their natural habitat. Feeding, grooming, occasionally mating with a fleshlight at SModcast.com.

Just remember that you are in their home so don't look them directly in the eyes and don't even look at their fleshlights.

The page looks awesome and I love being named "The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang" of podcasts.

Cause in real life I might be able to kick start a jukebox, but I'd trip on the cord on the way out of the room trying to strut and land face first.....Then I'm just fucking Potsie


LOOKEY!

Hitler eating the queen?!

Go check out the new SModcast. Where the awesome Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier chat about the new sponser of SMod.

I listened to it on Sunday and couldn't sleep. Cause they talk about me. I don't think anyone could sleep after having a couple of their heroes say your name on a show that you love.

Lookey!

Like I said in the post when I got the first shout out, It's like Harry Potter mid movie just stopping and commenting on how sweet my haircut is and how my jeans are pretty cool & me being like....Harry was talking about me! Did you all see that?!

I'm super proud & excited to be doing the cartoons and super glad for the sponser (the Fleshlight- The #1 selling male sex toy in the world) that throws the salary my way.

The money is an awesome bonus, but it's pay enough that Kevin & Scott & the youtube commenters liked my cartoons.

If you aren't checking out SModcast or you haven't checked it for a while take a look!

It's turning into a Smod network with weekly shows>>

Monday- SModcast

Wednesday- Mo & Glo

Friday- Tell 'em Steve-Dave

It's all free!

My Big News!!



4 years ago I made a 5 year goal to get my own series. I made it early! Woooohooooo!!! As you can see above, I've been hired to do monthly SModcast cartoons.

My mind was totally blown when I got the first message and phone call about it.

When I made the first FLS, I was feeling uninspired and just wanted to do a cartoon for fun. Sometimes working on your own stuff can leave you with "Are they even going to like it?" or "What's the point?". When you finish it, you know that you love it and you just send it out there and see how people respond. I had no idea that FLS would ever get me a plug on SModcast or anything that's come.

I thought it might get a few more views but other than that just thought it would be this little thing I did because I love SModcast.

Being Uninspired rules! I encourage the hell out of it. Go out there and get down on yourself today! It'll get you somewhere!



I'm just so glad that Kevin & Scott & everyone liked the 2 FLS cartoons. You guys rock! Can't wait to see how you like the new SMod-toons!


It's a celebration!! I've been doing cartwheels and retarded victory dancing like this for at least a month in my apartment. I do cartwheels to get groceries, I scream & Woo! on the bus and I push strangers to the ground and toss rock candy in their eyes.
"HAVE SOME CANDY!" I say. (toss) "THIS IS A GOOD THING!" (toss, toss,) "I'M SO HAPPY!!" (toss, toss, toss)



Go watch the first 2! For the Love of SMod! & For the Love of SMod 2 FUN!

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!"

WATCH NOW!

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.
