What I'm up to...

I've been sick on an off for the past week, but still got a ton of stuff to do.

-Artwork for a CH project
-Character art for another CH project
-Ask KFK voices
-Character Bios and artwork for Nickelodeon pitch
-Character art for March Entertainment pilot
-Freelance design work

In other stuff, I came across these 2 videos from Newgrounds/Behemoth artist Dan Paladin. It's sped up video of him working on their new console game Castle Crashers. I could seriously watch this sort of stuff forever.

I did a little animation for this CollegeHumor video, comes in at 1:34...enjoy

Laser Chase!

One of my cats Charlie needs to lose some weight, so we're constantly looking for toys so he can get some exercise. Well, I got him the "Laser Chase" laser pointer - it's like crack for cats. Once they see that little red laser dot on the floor, they'll do anything possible to try and catch it and kill it. So it works great, helped Charlie lose half a pound...But even better than watching my cats twitch like crack heads when the laser isn't on, is the packaging for Laser Chase

Nothing special at first, but there are 2 things that really bring the package together


1. This man shooting lasers out of his hands trying to kill his cat and dog



2. It says it's great for all pets...even fish, birds and lizards. So naturally they picked the most common household fish/bird/lizard...or Shark, Owl and Dinosaur.


Andy recently got a laser pointer as well for his cats - but he upgraded to some sort of Gatling Gun/MegaMan looking model with all these different filters on the front for different shapes.

And just like that...

I have lost all interest in the NCAA Tournament. UConn (my alma matter) lost in the first round to a crappy team, so I could give two shits who else is in it.

This also marks the beginning of the worst sports time of the year. Pro Basketball, Hockey and dear lord 40 straight months of Baseball.

My only saving grace is holding on to the sweet sweet memory of the Giants beating the Pats in the SuperBowl.

Oh yeah, sorry no podcast this week - Been crazy.

Here's a commercial thingy from Tim and Eric with Zack G. They do such a great job of being bizarre without being corny.

New CH Project

Here's a sneak peak at our first new sketch with CollegeHumor.

That's right...he's back.

Tropic Thunder

Guess who the guy in the middle is...
Robert Downey Jr!
He plays a white actor in the movie (about the making of a Vietnam movie). He's a method actor and actually gets surgery to look like a black guy for the film. Pretty funny concept.

The Quad-Collar

Thanks to Brian for sending us this gem.
