So funny thing about these…I did these with a mouse because I did not have a Wacom tablet at the time. This was also from when I was using photoshop to make a lot of custom brushes. I was applying for any job I could after art school. Playboy, Kanye West, Heavy Metal Magazine….I was able to get some pitch meetings at Frederator, but that was the closest I ever got to having a production budget. It was a painful lesson. But understanding that since the 2008 crash production companies became extremely risk averse. So without a built in audience…it’s gonna be a hard sell. What was initially a re-boot of the whatacartoons program, quickly shifted. A showrunner that already had a successful show was given the budget after two or three shorts had been made.

Sweetums was my nickname when I was younger. I still have a special place in my heart for that character.

My favorite muppet movie is still A Muppet Christmas Carol. I like most of those pictures. But Gonzo and Rizzo guiding you through Dickens story was something I watched over and over and over as a kid on tape. It was a great joy to watch with my kiddos.
