Hi everyone. No this isn’t art from the 6 MONSTERS project, this was a short I made for Halloween last year based on one of the first characters I designed for NICKELODEON on air. His name is PETEY PIECEMEAL and his cat is NAPOLEON BLOWNAPART. This short was animated by John Siciliano at Virtual Persuasion.
I’d love to do more spots with this little guy. Have a Happy and safe Halloween.

Well I got such a good response when I posted links to the Holiday spots I did a few years ago for our MERRY NICKMAS campaign that I’ve decided to post links to some more.
I did this little sketch of Bronk during a staff meeting. He’s cute huh? Bronk and Bongo are currently working in a Gucci handbag factory in Korea while their short is being animated.
Bronk has got Bongo cranking out a thousand handbags a day. BRONK is a bit of a BALL BUSTER.

ARRIVADERCI! SO LONG! BON VOYAGEE! DON’T FORGET TO WRITE!
Well last week the first batch of models, color guides, props and backgrounds were shipped off to our studio in Korea. So they can burn them or poop on them or something. No! Wait. They’ll be animating! America will be doing the pooping!
We should be seeing our first pass at animation in the next couple of months. All praise FREDERATOR!
Anyway, it’s been about a year and a half since Alan and I started working on this project and there were times we never thought we’d get out from under it. Like some kind of visit from your mother in law, we just didn’t know when it would end.
And to really rub it in, some of our talented colleagues on this web site finished 2 cartoons in the time it took us to just spell BRONK and BONGO! In fact I think [Read more…]
Yes, it’s true. Alan’s daughter, LILY, is such a devout fan of BRONK and BONGO and such a staunch supporter of everything her father does that she saved up her lunch money and got this lovely tattoo of BONGO permanently affixed to her lovely 8 year old arm.
Lily, I sincerely hope that BRONK and BONGO enjoy a long and healthy career as cartoon characters and end up becoming enduring American Pop icons that never do anything to cause you embarrassment or you will have ruined your arm for life. Take it from me. I still regret getting that OJ SIMPSON tattoo.
Still, this isn’t the worst thing you could deface your flesh with. In fact it’s hard to top any of THESE poor choices. And for those of you who don’t get it…click on the word THESE to see what I’m talking about.
Seriously, what was that woman with the GOLDEN PALACE [Read more…]
