Channel Frederator Blog

Last week, I posted about the (then upcoming) gaming-inspired art show “I Am 8-bit”. Well, the opening was last Thursday and reports of fun are pouring in from blogs all around. Destructoid and Kotaku, for example. (Crowd photo from Kotaku.)

A video of the festivities from the World of Wonder site is here.

There’s also a Flickr set where you can check out the mayhem that ensued—and peruse halfway decent photos of all the art. Many animation peeps participated. (Photos below by oldmanmusings, btw.)

“Zelda and the Great Deku Tree” by Carlos Ramos (Dexter’s Lab, Chalkzone, Robot Jones).

Frederator Oh Yeah! Alum Carlos Ramos recently got featured on the Wired Blog (as well as BOING BOING). The feature waxes philosophic about Show Biz Versus The Art World & his newest art show, Natural History Museum Part 1 at the Corey Helford Gallery in California.
Great Job Carlos!

Congratulations Carlos Ramos for winning the March Cartoon of the Month for Channel Frederator! Carlos’s short, Twins Crimson is one of the many “Oh Yeah! Cartoons” shorts that Frederator produced with Nickelodeon. This oldie, but goodie, is still going strong with our Channel Frederator Fans.
Twins Crimson rated highest among all of the cartoons to run in February, which included episodes 118, 119, 120 and 121. Head on back to episode 121 to re-watch Twins Crimson. Also check out a great writeup that Fred did about Carlos a while back, here.

A lot of you know Carlos Ramos as the creator of The X’s. Dedicated Frederator Studios watchers will also know Carlos as the creator of the
Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts Twins Crimson, A Dog & His Boy, and the designer of ChalkZone.

While he was at Oh Yeah! he seemed to have a Mick Jagger fixation, cause he kept dropping me these sketches. Or maybe he was just trying to kiss the a– of his baby boomer boss.
