Autumn Society Tribute (19): Scott Derby

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake

March 11th, 2010

I’ll let Scott explain his slick piece to you.

“Howdy all,

Here’s my take on the characters from Adventure Time with Finn and Jake. My inspiration (and models) for this piece are my son, whose name is actually Finn, and my pug,” Meatball, who served as a stand-in for Jake. I hope you like it…”

Frederator Postcards Series 9.2

Frederator Postcard Series 9.2, mailed March 5, 2010

After I left Hanna-Barbera and our first big idea incubator, Nickelodeon asked us to set up shop with them. “Only if we could start a second home for lunatics,” I said. Lucky for us, Herb Scannell and Albie Hecht agreed, and Oh Yeah! Cartoons was hatched.

Autumn Society Tribute (18): Dan Trauten

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake

March 10th, 2010

This whimsical and adventure-filled image you see above is by my friend Dan Trauten. Dan’s line quality and color selection is what makes his work standout. I remember when Dan and I were in our senior year of art school, taking a break and watching the original Adventure Time pilot over and over again. Dan has been a fan since then as well.

Cartoon Hangover Quickie with DJ Timbo

Channel Frederator Blog

March 10th, 2010

dj-timbo.jpg

DJ Timbo, LA’s Animated DJ, is responsible for the down and dirty tale of a Vegas romp gone bonkers in “The Olsen Twins Song”, animated by Kelly Loftus. Here he schools me on DJ terminology and let’s us know why animated music videos are the best.

Cartoon Hangover: Who are your favorite artists (music, animation, or otherwise)?

DJ Timbo: Mick Jagger, Beck, Beastie Boys, The Doors, Royksopp, Andy Warhol.

CH: What is your favorite song?

DJ T: Bob Marley “Jammin.” A classic.

CH: It’s so silly and dirty - what gave you the idea for “The Olsen Twins Song”?

DJ T: I had a dream. A very wet dream.

LOL. Seriously though, originally it was two songs. One about the Olsen Twins and the other a Vegas themed escapade. I combined them both because everybody loves Vegas. All guys fantasize about threesomes. Put that together with twin famous billionaires, and viola!

gogo-girl-tour.jpg

CH: I love the “I Dream of Jeanie” sample - what other songs do you use in your work?

DJ T: Technically it’s not a sample. It’s a complete reproduction sound alike. I digress. The beat came from an old school song called “Dream Team in the House” by the LA Dream Team. My influence is vast. I have been a DJ all my life so my music repertoire goes deep.

CH: Man, way to politely school me on DJ talk. :)

Why is “The Olsen Twins Song” better as an animated video instead of live action?

DJ T: I think it just seemed funnier to me. When I see a cartoon, I immediately prepare to see something funny. Cartoons also remind me of when I was a child. Life was simpler then. With modern media focusing so much attention on the Kardashians, The Hilton and Pamela Anderson live action sextapes, I wanted to show the absurdity of it all.

CH: Are you working on anything new / any upcoming gigs you can tell us about?
DJ T: Yes. My next release is a song called “Robot Love.” It’s about a guy who falls in love with a sex doll. The song has been done for almost two years. Still trying to figure out how to make the music video. Maybe one of your viewers has some ideas.

CH: I bet they could come up with something… Favorite alcoholic beverage?

DJ T: Red wine with dinner. Vodka tonic when clubbing.

CH: Favorite swear?

DJ T: F*ck.

CH: Yeah, it is! Thanks for the interview!

Check out “The Olsen Twins Song” right here on Cartoon Hangover!

Autumn Society Tribute (17): Anthony Pedro

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake

March 8th, 2010

I am beyond words for this most epic painting by my good friend Anthony Pedro. With every gallery and theme that I’ve put together under the Autumn Society, Anthony has always blown me away with his artistic answer and vision. If there was ever a realistic or a LOTR version of Adventure Time made, I have no doubt that the Ice King would look like this. View more of Anthony’s work at www.anthonypedro.com and more tributes at the www.theautumnsociety.com.
