Write to a soldier and tell him you’re proud!

This is a good idea. We can’t thank our Military enough.
If you go to the web site www.letssaythanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can’t pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?

NJ biziness LOL

>Three contractors are bidding to fix the White House fence. One from New Jersey, another from Tennessee and the third from Florida. They go with a White House official to examine the fence.

>The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, and then works on some figures with a pencil. “Well,” he says, “I estimate that the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and$100 profit for me.”

>The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, and then says, “I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

>The New Jersey contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: “$2,700.” The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?”

>”$1,000 for me and $1,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee.”

>Guess who got the contract…………….

Nick to Ignite Comic-Con!

My favorite studio in the world will be a large presence at the Comic Con this weekend in San Diego!

The series I am working on Random Cartoons which will premiere next year on Nickelodeonand that my cartoon Flavio is a part of,  is going to be hosting a panel there tomorrow where a bunch of my friends will be answering questions on being a first time film-maker. I am very excited about this as it will be the first time the public will get a look at some of the first cartoons. It’s going to be very exciting and I think Adventure Time will be a big hit there. The rest of them are great cartoons as well, but there is something special about Adventure Time. Why not go and see for yourself!
Read this article from Animation Magazine to see what’s going on!

Also, here’s a list Clay Kaytis of Animation Podcast has compiled of cool booths to stop by and check out.

I will be heading down there on Friday with my brother so perhaps I’ll see you there!

Flavio storyboards

So I’ve been working on my cartoon Flavio for about 3 months now and I’m nearing completion on it. It’s been alot of fun and I’m sad to see it come to an end but eh, whattayagonnado? Ya know? Anyway, here’s a few panels from the final storyboard that I did for it. the main panels are my intial pass at the posing but the added thumbnails are after the dialog was recorded (did I mention I did Flavio’s voice?) and I needed to add more nuances to the acting. Click the pic to get a bigger version.

It’s interesting to note that these drawings were all done digitally on my brand spankin’ new tablet PC which I have to say is increasingly becoming my favorite thing in the world! No pencils were hurt in the making of these final boards! YAY!
