And that's why I love these guys

Trails of Tarnation


Black Coffee: Chapter 1 of Trails of Tarnation from New Picture Agencies on Vimeo.

Do you remember the Perry Bible Fellowship? It suddenly stopped updating and I just forgot about it's existence. What's even stranger is that his creator, Nicholas Gurewitch, has done some animation work for the BBC. Yes, everyone I love leaves me for the BBC.


Elite Fleet Ep. 2 - The Broken Code from New Picture Agencies on Vimeo.

Anyhow, it also seems that he will be making a live-action webseries, now, and I, for one, am very excited about it. The whole story:

Nicholas Gurewitch is the mad cartoonist genius behind the Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip, one of the only web comics ever worth reading. He’s now turned his eye to a live action web series called Trails of Tarnation, a 12 parter about Derek and Jeff, two cowboys on the run from a corrupt Sheriff.
In the first episode, Black Coffee, the boys seek out a good strong cup of joe.
Here’s the official site.

Star Wars' pixel-art by Mark Hamil's son


I think it's pretty sweet of him. And I love Mark Hamil. He'll always be my favorite Joker. The whole story goes as follows:

So out of the blue last night, Nathan Hamill sends me an e-mail sharing some cool art with me. In case you couldn't tell by the last name, Nathan is the son of Mark Hamill, better known as that one guy from Star Wars.
The image was "born out of [Nathan's] love for Star Wars and Nintendo" and it's based on the moment where Han Solo and Chewie won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a game of Sabacc. Get the Zelda reference? Nathan originally created the piece for the So Analog Show at Designer Con last year where you can see the image on a custom created Nintendo Entertainment Cartridge.
Nathan's blog has a lot of cool art on it in fact, including this disturbing DuckTales image.

It's strange that his dad ain't in the picture. But I won't get all freudian about it.

Editorial: The Simpsons



I’m through with The Simpsons.

I’m not going to enter a cynical speculation about how they have outlived their own creativity a long time ago. Throughout the more than twenty years I’ve been watching them, we have some good times and bad times together. They have changed, and probably they’ll keep on changing, but so have I. It’s not anyone’s fault, really, our relationship just grew cold and stale and routine started caving in between us and we just grew tired of each other. We grew apart and I suddenly noticed that the things they do now aren’t meant for my amusement anymore. I tried really hard to make it work, but I’m just tired now.

Tomm Moore - Interview



I know it's been a while since our last interview. As a matter of fact, due to personal reasons, it's been some slow weeks.

But enough of that. Here we have an AMAZING interview with the AMAZING Tomm Moore (Secret of Kells, from Cartoon Saloon). I'd like to offer mad props to Pablo, who edited the video. And I know it sounds cocky coming from us, but it really looks great. I'm trully thrilled!

He even did subtitles. Sí, ¡subtitulos en español para todos!

Hope you enjoy watching it as we enjoyed making it.
