Settling in Columbus

Well, settling here, back in Ohio, has been a tad bumpy.  Had a studio space, don't have a studio space, have work, have too much work, have other stuff to do.  Would love to get to some of the projects on the docket, hope I will be able to get to something fun soon.

This is always the balance between making money and making progress, they do not always coincide.

Horrendous Fiasco

We are changing the overall purpose of the "Fiasco" into the development arm of Knock Knock Cartoons.  Knock Knock never went away, and now it just makes sense to split the purpose of these two entities.  The Horrendous site will stay up for now, but will soon transition.  Knock Knock's site is slated for early January 2015.

The Animation Game has to change.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but we as an animated society is shrinking fast.  Expertise is getting ignored and forgotten.  Quality hasn't seen the light of day for quite a while in the 2 dimensional realm of Cartoon making.  In most cases the lunatics are running the asylum.  Animation is getting faster and cheaper and not better.

I have worked with a lot of new young talent, and there is a lot of potential but you have to innovate.  You have to push the envelope not in terms of content and fart jokes but in terms of image and style.  Is the last true interesting development going to remain UPA design?  C'mon man.

New Directions

With the animation world being squeezed into a corner, I am turning toward nontraditional uses for animation. Although there is a bit of risk going this
route it does allow for greater control of the product and its content. The
problem is finding the niche.
