Hi! I replaced all of my sad, moldy plates and cups with actual nice things, resulting in this - my motivation station!

(some other relevant rhyming words: animation, creation, generation, fabrication, origination, devastation)

If you look closely you’ll notice the limited edition Rocket Dog postcards. All of them! So if you’ve asked for one or want one, I guess I uh… will have to work out an affordable way of distribution or something. Maybe you’ll see them at a convention!

Today and forever is going to be super productive and I won’t spend the entire time marveling at the zappy ball like I did all yesterday.

Cartoon Hangover presents, “Rocket Dog”

“Rocket Dog” burst from the mind of Mel Roach with a sulfuric dog-fart. Follow Bob as he desperately tries to woo a girlfriend while his loyal, yet deranged pet, Rocket Dog, presents new challenges at every turn. Bob’s bumbling hipster lifestyle may be a warning, or an invitation, as you see fit.

beefsoupplease asked you: What happened to rocket frog?

He’s right here.

baghdig asked you: Are you part of cartoonhangover?
Yep. They’ll be releasing my pilot, Rocket Dog on 2nd May.

dariathedevil asked you: is rocket dog getting a show on some tv network? i dont understnad?
Exclusive to Youtube.

megsmakesart asked you: What program(s) do you use to animate/which is your favorite and worth investing in? I’m an illustration student right now, and I have done some animation work in after effects, photoshop, and flash (sorta), but I want to know what is the easiest/most efficient for 2D animation :D. Thank you!

I use TV Paint. It’s bitmap based with a lovely range of brushes and is highly recommended for traditional animators. I love it! Auto-tweening is pretty limited in TVP, so it’s handy to use After Effects in conjunction.

kaeloogang asked you: Do you even Tennis?

I, um… yes? Once in high-school.

poraxad-jak asked you: I was sent here by Cade Hiser of Cartoon Hangover, I love your blog! I’m trying to get my first short approved by CH but I’m having trouble matching the professional quality of my peers. What should I do to improve? I’ve never written for a mature audience before.
Hello, that’s cool! You need super great characters for a super great show. Importantly, they should be directed by their own motivations and not just being plonked into a scenario. Play with their chemistry - let their personalities clash or compliment each other. Allow your audience to relate with them. You could have them locked in the one room the whole time and still have a great episode.

by-francois-beavertree asked you: hey umm how long did it take you to become as good as an artisit as you are. and when did you start. i love it all!!

Thanks! I guess it took me my whole life because I’ve always wanted to do what I do. I think I really started getting serious at 16.

I’ve said something similar to a man named Drew.

Aww. I’m not a bug.

And if you don’t know Drew already, you should. My boyfriend wears his Fridaynosaur shirt all the time, and never washes it ever because we all love Drew. And we’re not creepy.

Lost dumb bird

Hey Melbourners! My bird, Sparky flew off last Wednesday around Cremorne/Richmond. He’s a pearl pied cockatiel (7yo), and if you catch or see him around please let me know. I love him heaps!

Words he can say: Cuddle, Sparky-spark, bye, hello.

He likes men, and boxes. He really likes his boxes.

Hi,i'm wondering if you could tell me what pens or pencils you use? Sorry for wasting your time! ^_^

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:24:00 +1100

Of course you’re not wasting my time, deary. I like to use Graphic Copic markers, Artline/Uni pin 0.4/0.2, and a blue lead Pacer for roughs.
