GEEKS commercial

A little "commercial" I shot for GEEKS comic shop in Whittier. This was my first test in iMovie. Man, I'm hooked. The Cartoonistas have lots of show plans for 2010 at GEEKS. Theres just about a show each month all the way up until June so far. I'll be doing a solo show in April and in January were doing an animation fest there. More details soon. Thanks Sal (owner) and Jav for appearing in the clip.

GEEKS and GEEKS

My friend: Artist Lisa Cabrera

If you've never been to SECOND SATURDAY POMONA ARTWALK...you are missing something special. Free wine, music, art to see, lots of cool old buildings, and super nice artists like the very talented Lisa Cabrera. She does some really nice day of the dead art, whimsical paintings, and beautiful jewelry (which my wife Leann bought). Besides being so talented, she really is a sweet person. The kind of person you instantly feel like you've known for years. You can see some of Lisa's cool work and studio in this piece.

Back on the Idiot Engine

I was honored again (second time) to be a guest on my friend Ted Seko's Idiot Engine podcast. The topic: "How do you Learn How?". We talked about the different ways we learn, making mistakes, piers, cartoons, Devil-Man, filmmaking, day jobs, Day of the Unicorn, trauma, trying new things, and everything in between.

Check it below!

Day of the Unicorn Four Facts

FACT ONE: If you've seen my latest epic...err...I mean film, DAY OF THE UNICORN, there are many things that you might have missed first pass around. For example, Javier Hernandez (far left) Kevin Cross and Mark Rudolph (hugging) all make cameos in this film. Kevin, Mark and Raul Aguirre Jr even do background voices for me. They were all model prisoners.

FACT TWO: Many of the prisoners in the film sport Unicornian tattoos. No more gangs, racial separation, no more violence...unless of course, you aren't Unicornian. Then you're screwed.

FACT THREE: During the prison riot, Jerzy Drodz makes a quick (very quick) escape. What is he in prison for? Art supply grand theft or unlawful analysis I'm sure. Go Jerzy.

Four Facts The bald guy with the "macho" neck tattoo is none other than Jose "Crying Macho Man" Cabrera. The gentleman with the light brown hair (stripe on shirt) is Mike Aushenker. Both are my artist buddies and both are criminally good.

FACT FOUR: Warden Bob Figgs is a kindly southern gent. Part Don Knotts, part John Waters, part William H. Macy. Those are lots of parts. His prisoners have accused him of having lady parts if you get my d-r-i-f-t.

Them there is the facts....now go watch DAY OF THE UNICORN. You have been warned!

Who's that on the Bus Ad?

From the film DJ DISRESPECT. By the way, thats my good friend George Lopez driving the bus.

At last my brothers (and sisters).....the Day of the Unicorn has arrived! Find out what happened the the Rev John Henry Unicorn after the first movie. Guaranteed to send chills up your spine and put a giggle in your tickler. At first, I debated if I should post the entire version, I mean, it IS a 9 min epic.....but....You deserve it.

I give to you the FULL Unicorn. Enjoy!

Then its off to work on my Oscar acceptance speech and plan the PREQUEL! One of those things I just said are true. I'll let you figure out which one it is. Day of the Unicorn will be on YouTube within 2 weeks.
