Political Chaos in Toy Form

Here is Barack and his magic podium. If you rub the podium against any of your problems and hope them away, they will vanish!


If hoping your problems away doesn't work, then try the other method: Blow 'em away!

Or try hiding them in your pant suit!




McCain and Obama were sculpted by Chris Peterson. Hillary sculpted by Arshak Nazarian. All color styled and painted by Beth Colla. Castings by Richard Vanover at Wheaty Wheat.

They were manufactured by Reel FX. They are rounding up distributors at this very moment so add yourself on the list if you want to get 'em in your stores!
Wait'll you see the fancy-ass packaging Brian Romero is designing! I'll post 'em later this week.

These toys are not only sculpted beautifully, but we've taken extra time and effort to color them slightly off register, just like old fashioned 60s toys!





And here's some more nifty toys to rock your ass off! Sculpted by Chris Peterson and company and colored by Beth Colla at Wheaty Wheat.

These were manufactured by Thunderdog toys and distributed by Strangeco to comic book stores and specialty shops.

Chris is busy sculpting my latest batch of toys - George Liquor, Sody Pop, Jimmy the Idiot Boy and Cigarettes the Cat for Strangeco.
We are recreating this historic scene in toy form! Tell me you will run to the toy store and buy 'em!

why rock stars should be animation executives

When I do work on music videos, whether for Bjork, Weird Al or Tenacious D, the creative process is always super simple. They give me a song and I do some sketches of ideas I have to illustrate it, they say "do it". Then we go ahead and make it as good and fun as we can and no one stops us every two seconds to throw monkey wrenches in the works and force us to make everything ugly, stupid and depressing.I sent the intial sketches I did on napkins for this video a couple months ago to Jack and he sent me his network note: "Awesome, Dude."

If I sent a one page outline of a story idea to a network executive, I'd get back 10 pages of retarded notes telling me to ruin every creative thought and make all the drawings bland and ugly and make the story not make any sense.
Kyle's only note for the video was "make me sexy" which was a completely reasonable request and easy to fulfill.
Rock Stars seem to understand that creative stuff is a treat and you should leave creative people alone to make their ice cream. Executives want to mix in poo and cigarette butts with your ice cream.
So if you ever see Jack or any other rock stars who like funny cartoons, give them a big sloppy kiss (or give 'em your sister).

And who absolutely shouldn't be animation executives?

Marlo Enters The Ranks With Her First Zombie Crowd



Here it is. Look at it. This is a zombie animal crowd to end 'em all. Why, you'd swear Marlo has actually slept with the dead.

When I first made contact with Ms. Marlo Meekins, she showed me jpgs of her marker caricatures. I said "You have the makings of a cartoon painter. I want to develop you."
