ALL THE THINGS OH MY SACK

Hi guys. Shewee. It sure has been a while since I posted a post. But you know what? It’s 2am and I’m thinking ‘Mike. Mike Mike Mike. It is time. IT IS TIME TO TELL THE PEOPLE’S WHO WANT TO KNOW, WHAT THERE IS TO KNOW.’

And so, let me please take you through some things.

FIRSTLY – I am doing well. The only problems I really have at the moment are false little problems my clever mind has made for me to chew on. Hah. NICE TRY.

SECONDLY – I went to Annecy, the biggest animation festival in France, in the most beautiful town called ‘Annecy’. Man, that place is so awesome. Let me please show you some photos:

annecy_picnic_v1 — Some of the South African delegation chillin’ in the park

annecy_hipster_v1 — I saw a photo op and took it. Could be a kiff album cover if they were in a band and if it had that kind of toothpaste balloon writing in the middle top, that said ‘HELLO THAR’

annecy_phil_breadwinners_v1 — Phil Rynda bottom left, all-round legend and nice guy (and lead character designer on Adventure Time Seasons 1-3 and lecturer at CalArts), Gary Doodles in middle, creator of ‘Breadwinners’ on Nickelodeon, and Tommy Sica on right, the show’s musician and I believe now producer too

annecy_masaaki_yuasa_v1 — Masaaki Yuasa who directed and animated the Adventure Time episode ‘Food Chain’. He didn’t know who I was but I harangued him into a pic anyways

We had an awesome South African delegation. Sometimes I just thought ‘Man. This is so kiff.’ Then, towards the end of the festival I ran out of energy and got a little antsy. In fact I feel like I’ve only recently caught up with myself. I met my Nickelodeon contacts there and discussed my ‘Moosebox’ project, I’m all kind of excited for it. Also got to meet some awesome animation people. MAN. It was so cool. DAMN. GUYS IT WAS SO COOL. I’m so lucky.

Anyways (cough) what else what else. Here’s some new snaps you won’t see anywhere else because I put them together for this post:

I made a little ditty:

I been jamming some drums and making music with other people:

Aaand, I’ve been doing some personal work. This here’s a Bru & Boegie episode, I’ve recorded the voices and when I feel like it I’ll scan the sketchbook pages, animate some stuff and put the audio to it:

I’m working on some stuff for two DJ sisters from the UK who are playing Edinburgh Festival fairly soon so I’m doing a bunch of VJ stuff for them:

Ya. Nice. Also, I did a little lyric video for my brother The Kiffness‘ new track featuring Kurt Darren, ‘Supernova’:

Thennn, I redesigned the Animation South Africa logo which is a big honour, and here’s a banner too:

There’s a ASA Facebook page so if you’re in the animation world in South Africa, please do join. There’s a cool committee on board and I think there’ll be some cool stuff resulting.

Here are some Medical Chronicle cartoons, odds and ends yo:

I never realised you did that doctor/lawyer cartoon! That was classic!
By the way your random comic just hurt my mind.

  Hey Julia SnoodleboodliabeanzLouw. It’s a joke my dad told me once that kind of fit the article the cartoon’s for. So I pilfered.
