COME ON, selection committee. MU was a shoo-in!

The silver lining was seeing Big Jim eat the camera on live TV. Classic Big Jim.

“Did you ever work on Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends or Dexter’s Lab or Powerpuff Girls or other UPA-influenced shows? I love your stylish cartoony designs!” — iansimsjam

Thanks, but I didn’t work on any of those shows! I worked on Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures (and some other miscellaneous Bakshi stuff), The Simpsons, Tiny Toon Adventures and Tazmania. I was working at Pixar when the Cartoon Network shows began! — J.

Crowdsourcing: Ralph Bakshi's "Last Days Of Coney Island"

Sat, 02 Feb 2013 01:11:07 -0500

I just discovered Ralph’s Kickstarter campaign for his current feature project, Last Days Of Coney Island. There’s a little less than a month left, so if you want to see his new movie, be sure and send him some cash soon!

New Blog Art: Crowdsourcing!

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 22:08:00 -0500

This’ll be a new topic in the coming weeks, so it seemed appropriate to whip up a new icon. Now if only I can figure out how the new blog post UI works…

UPDATE (1/30): Tumblr has said that the image layout interface is drag-and-drop, but I can’t get text to go around the old square icons. I’m thinking of making new banners (like the one above) out of the old blog artwork. Stay tuned!

Potential Blog Icon: R.I.P.

This took a fair amount of time to do, but I’m not sure I’m actually going to use it to mark any obituaries that I might post here. Regardless, it was fun to draw, so I hope you enjoy it the ‘large’ version.

JEREMYRIAD: Is This the End of KAWS and OriginalFake?:

Not encouraging news from the designer toy world. I didn’t know Amos Toys had gone under!

I Didn't Really Need To Make This Icon

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 04:02:00 -0500

…but I had the artwork, and I thought it’d look cool with the previous Lego post. Finding the font was the hard part!

Had To Wait A Couple Of Weeks

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 02:05:00 -0500

…to get both sets, but I got to sit down and build Jabba’s Palace (complete with Rancor Pit) in Lego today. I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been like to get these as a kid! #ItsAFullLife

PS - Lego’s printing two different faces on opposite sides of their minifig heads now. It’s very clever, allowing Jedi Luke to be sly or determined, depending on how you want to set up your diorama. Cool!
