Legion, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that was done by our very own Bones Weep Tedium. Yes, unofficially and yes, very well done.

Very well done! I imagined the film student less body builded though.

I love this. Very ambitious, and I dig the colours. Are you in 4th-year Illustration by now? I was going to take Illustration but switched to Animation at the last minute... You should do another one and so we can read mo- I mean, see how you've improved. Wink

Where ya goin to school? I'm former Uarts in philly ( one big over-priced waste of time.) My ex, her friends and half of mine are animators. I can not-so-proudly say I have carved pumpkins in Otawa with the creator of spongebob and he is either nuts or the luckiest bastard around.

He did Sponge bob as a joke after doodling him on cocktail napkins. He was already in the industry so he pitched it as a joke by hopping on the execs desk and screaming out the theme song drunk.

And he kept all merchandising rights.

That is the coolest thing I've heard all day. I love Spongebob, and I bet not many people can say they've carved pumpkins with the guy who created him! And yeah, the story of how the show came into being is kind of legendary. Do your friends have any blogs showcasing their work or anything? I love seeing other people's stuff, as I've stated.

I'm at Sheridan College in Ontario, but I live in Saskatchewan so I'll have to fly back out there in about a month. It's hard not to have a good time when you're surrounded by people who want to make cartoons for a living.

In 1978, when I was living in Sumner, Washington, I worked as a staff photographer for the Sumner News-Index, owned by a young guy named Steve Pults.

We actually had a cartoonist on staff, and he was one heck of a good guy, and funny, too. The three of us, being like minded individuals, would occasionally hoist a beer at KCs Caboose before heading over to the high school football or basketball games.

His name was Gary Larsen.

If you are up there I hope you're aware of the annual annimation festival in Ottawa. It's every fall. Major networking event.

Here is a link to my Ex's myspace. http://www.myspace.com/shinygrape

She and I were writing partners for several years. We do not talk anymore, though, since her main project wiccanchicken.com was pretty much stolen from myself ( I found the copyright forms I'd filled out and given her to mail torn up in the trash. Yet she mailed them something. Turns out she'd filled out duplicate forms for herself). From the looks of it once we split she sent the whole idea to shit.

The original idea was that all urban legend monsters are real, but suffer from what might be called Whisper-down-the-lane-syndrome. Example: Big foot is real, and he is a flaming homosexual who sells Avon. The lockness monster is real, but cannot swim. That's why he splashes around so much when people see him. He now owns a bar and a bowling alley. JD ( the jersey devil) is real and sells tomatoes at the side of the garden state parkway. All urban legend monsters are real and most have moved to new jersey where they wear baseball caps so nobody notices. This is why NJ is so weird.

The jersey devil has a son, The Wiccan Chicken. He was hatched from a magic eight ball given to JD on his birthday. He is a four foot tall Chicken with a pentacle on his chest and a flaming feather on his head. He is a vegan and an enviromental extremist.

With the interest I had built in this idea I don't know how she messed it up. Hell she even pitched it to every animation big wig at The OAF two years ago.

She is also the reason that I attended a pitch seminar about four years ago where upon her insistence I pitched something that would later be Night at the Museum. I never recieved a cent and found out about it when I saw the trailer in a theater.

For your own good, if you have ANY original ideas do not talk to this woman. You will see them done by her or somebody else. And she will be the one profiting from it.

At least I am still listed in the credits of her film Nagymama ( Hungarian for grandmother). Ugh

Haw! But, John, not to freeze your style or smother your sass, but "the Niner" is a memory in the NYC subway system. It's the 1 train now.

Hmmm....maybe I could work that slice of history into an article for THE JOURNAL OF JACK STUDIES...

Actually, in Hosts The narrator ( I think its the nerdy reporter guy) mentions in the first couple of paragraphs that he has always ended up taking the 9 or the 1 and sitting on the last car as its a few steps closer to his door.
