  • Cartoon Network – Summer Ident

    This is pretty wicked cool. I love how much work got put into this and with the limit of only 4 colours is amazing! Plus, so much adventure time everywhere.
    However, I only just caught this now, but there’s a photo beside gunter and shows B.B. (see preview image) Which I think is talking about Bugs bunny! Which isn’t crazy if you watch the video.

    Cartoon Network recently put together a crew of animators from around the world to create their new summer ident in the form of an animated exquisite corpse. Each team/animator was given 10 seconds of music, 4 colours and tons of Cartoon Network characters to work with. At the end of the project, in true exquisite corpse fashion, each piece was stitched together. This is the result!

  • Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Box Cover

    [vc_row el_position=”first”] [vc_column] [vc_column_text el_position=”first last”]

    So I saw on another blog that they showed the Japanese Box Art of Mario and Luigi Dream Team. But what surprise me was they guy predicted that the snot bubble that coming out Luigi’s nose would not show on the North American box. Would you know it, the North American box did take it out and instead put in “Zzz”. Kind of interesting since I never knew the snot bubble was a japanese trait, thought it was just a cartoony thing to do.

    Also, the rating of the game is also an interesting take, so it will be exciting to see what that will bring!

  • “Obrother” Painted Video

    Remember that DaniXo video that was done by my class in visual and creative arts last year?

    Well it looks like it was done again this year (I’m not involed this time) but I think it looks pretty cool the final product. Plus, I understand it’s a lot of work each of those frames, for something you’ll see in a split second, it can take some time. The other fact of organizing is pretty crazy too, so much trust that everyone will get all the frames done in time!
    So go check it out the video that the VCA group of 2013 complete on YouTube!

    “OBrother”, by The Snips, Painted Video

    For anyone who doesn’t have a clue what I’m talking about, with the whole “DaniXo” thing.

    It was a very similar project we had to work on, where each of us in the class would be given so many frames (I think it might have been 18-20 frames), half of them done in traditional materials (paints, pencil, cutout, etc) the other half done in digital (photoshop, illustrator, etc). It would then be complied together to have this cool looking frame by frame artwork piece. Sort of look early 80-90’s because of the flashy look to it. What was neat is, because it was a new single for her, this was use as her official music video!

    It was also pretty cool as we got to meet the artist of the music piece “faster” I’ll linked the music video that we did in our class in 2012.

    CartoonistDude: Its a name I had in mind, and then created a logo for it in a Tech class project in grade 10! (2006)

    Marty Mole: You’ll see this name a bit, so its important to know who he is. He is my cartoon alter ego, he is me if I could do all these crazy adventures but it doesn’t mean I have for the most part.

    [/one_third]

    Many of you have probably have seen me on YouTube, as its sort of my side job that doesn’t feel like a job, but rather fun! I do hope to make it a career doing these videos; buuut, that’s just a dream for the time being.
    But, you may me new to me, which in this case I want to give you a warm CartoonistDude hug, unless you hate hugs… then a handshake, or pat on the back.

    So, you might have notice that I have a new shiny site up and running (glitches are sure to appear still… sigh), and many of you might have seen the last set up I had going, which was nice, but totally unusable. Finally we can have a place where you can view my work, comment, chat (working on this feature), and even check on news about me all in one nice package. It also helps me share content easier to other social sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

    I do still encourage people to Subscribe to me on YouTube, and to comment on the videos and of course share them. But, now with this site, you can take a closer look at what I did; artwork, animation, etc

    Other cool features I hope to include will be polls, FAQ, Comics, Fan art, Freelance payment section.
