Thom Cat

Dear “Thom Cat” fans,

I just wanted to share the good news that the “Thom Cat” series of E-cards for Birthdayalarm.com is now Live (the first two cards are live, there is one more that is being finished)! The cards feature the terrific voice talents of Jim and Tamra Meskimen, and the fantastic music of Andy Paley (with art and animation by yours truly)! I will be putting up a blog post soon, but wanted to share with you all first, let me know what you think!:

I just wanted to share the good news that “Thom Cat” has been officially licensed to appear in his own series of E-cards for Birthday Alarm (www.birthdayalarm.com)! For the e-cards I have been lucky enough to assemble much of the original talent from the first short, including Jim Meskimen as the voice of Thom, Andy Paley as composer , and David Eppen for background painting! The cards should be finished in a month to two months, and I will include links to them as soon as they are live!
