Angora Napkin

I've been going on and on enough about how great this pilot is.  It was made for Teletoon's "Pilot Project" which consists of this and a bunch of other cartoons that aren't as awesome as this one.  I'll just post an embedded video of it right here so it's easy to watch!  Made by Nick Cross and Troy Little, here is the pilot for "Angora Napkin"!

Don't forget to check out Nick Cross' other awesome shorts, including one of my favourites: "Yellow Cake"

A bunch of sketches and Carl

Hey, here are some more sketches I did. I also drew Carl Sagan because he was awesome.


This one is just some stuff.  I like the hanging guy, it looks kind of neat.  I'm a big fan of interesting lines of action (as if you didn't know already).  I've also been doing a lot of fish-eye warped perspectives lately.  They're fun to draw.


You guessed right!  The guy on the far right is Rick Astley.  He's never going to give you up, never going to let you down.  Why does that other guy have a chef's hat?  I don't know.  It seemed like a good idea at the time.  I had a chef's hat in the previous picture and a guy sitting with a fork.  I think I must have been hungry.


I gave Cthulu a butthole.  It doesn't show up very well on this scan.  You can tell by the cat looking at the "cheezburger" that I've had memes on my mind lately.  "Sports Entertainment" is what WWE calls "professional wrestling".  It seems to me to be a more polite euphemism to the people who actually wrestle.


There's my Carlcature (A caricature of Carl) and some other stuff.  I like the broke guy, and the shark is neat.  I also just noticed that the symbol on the hero's costume is both a "!" and a "H".  I'm really clever and I didn't even realize it!

Just because I've been putting videos in lately, here is somebody's cover of Vangelis' "Alpha" which is featured on Carl Sagan's Cosmos.  It's like Vangelis played by Wyld Stallyns.  One of the reasons I consider this cover to be so great is that I think Carl Sagan would have agreed wholeheartedly with the sentiment: "Be excellent to each other; and party on, dudes.". Carl Sagan believed in humanity's ability to ask courageous questions. Bill and Ted believed in humanity's ability to produce unlikely answers. I guess it's kind of silly that a documentary and a teen movie are important to me, but they seem to believe in people the way that I want to. Fair enough, right?
