Auckland Armageddon Expo 2010

Here's a bunch of photos I took this weekend and the annual pop-culture convention "Armageddon"



















FOT on Radiradirah

The first episode of Radiradirah went on air a few days ago, amongst the sketches was the animated cartoon FOT, created by Alex Dron co-written with myself and voiced by Rhys Darby. Seven more episodes to go... Hope they're as much fun to watch as they are to make! - Friday TV3 9:30pm
The FOT fan page on Facebook has exclusive rejected scenes and other goodies, so join up!

Animated Underworld #5 - Tough Bar

My friends, look what I have made just for you! Another animated short from the comic strip Underworld by KAZ. This is the first to feature Snuff and Creep (voiced by KAZ!) More animation soon...

Time Machine

Finished this today... an authentic working time machine (or "clock" as some people like to call them). Still working out some of the bugs, the hands seem to get locked up sometimes, and I have to swot it ever now and then to restart the seconds hand, but apart from that, works like a treat. I'll post a few more of the details soon, the face is a timeline of the universe from big bang to the big rip (one of my favourite ideas proposed for the end of everything), 35 billion years divided up into 12 hours. If they prove popular I'll try and make more to sell.

Animated Underworld #4 - Ducky Ducky

We've completed another Underworld animation for you to enjoy (click the picture). Watch it, share it, let me know what you think.

I think I'll be in Wellington next weekend with a BRAND NEW ComicBook Factory product to exchange for your money, you won't want to miss out on this! We'll talk about it later, ok...

Space Baboons

This is the back cover to the second book, long way from being published. I'd also consider it a first draft. It's almost unreadable but the small print at the very bottom reads No Refunds. It is CRSR Laboratories policy that all ex-research animals are sold "as is".
UPDATE: I know about the grammatical error "not limited", thank you.

New Jessica Tattoo Discovered

On my recent trip to Wellington I was pleased to discover someone with this Jessica of the Schoolyard tattoo, he'd never read the comic but a friend of his had the image lying around and tattoo gun. The image is originally from an early comic strip that appeared in Lava magazine. I'll post it if I can find it.

Julius in the Lab

Here's some artwork from the back cover of the upcoming Connie Radar comic book. No due date...

Fot - Part 3


This is the SECOND animated Fot that has been edited into shorter versions (this being part 3 of #2, all of #1 is HERE and parts 1 and 2 of #2 can be found HERE). For those not familiar with FOT, it's an animated short by Alex Dron and voice by Rhys Darby, I helped out with the writing and made the odd suggestion here and there.
New episodes are looking likely for an upcoming sketch comedy show called RadiRadiRah.

New Daily City Photography Blog

Thought I'd plug my new daily photo blog. This one will, of course, stay active for all The ComicBook Factory comics and animation news... have a great 2010 everyone!
