Cartoon Truckstop Pics

Los Alamitos, CA- Tonight I'm back from the first ever Cartoon Truck Stop. The event was lots of fun. The weather was perfect and the food was even more perfecter-er. We ended up ditching the screen and playing the cartoons HUGE on the wall. Very ghetto and very effective. The crowd seemed to enjoy the spectacle. This was a "feeling out" of the whole outdoor fest thing, and it was a success in my eyes.  People stuck around after dark and the show went about 30 mins longer than we originally thought it would. We've been asked back and I'm sure we'll do it again. Thanks to everyone that showed up and to all the animators that let me play their stuff.  Let's do it again!

Featured animators:
Raul Aguirre, Jr
Linda Lee
Jim Lujan
Gras Rodriguez
Ted Seko
Supa Pirate Booty Hunt

The crowd was hungry and plenty.

My buddies Roxie and Nicole's Fresh Fries delivered the goods!

Me and Roxie.

Animator Linda Lee showed her very cute and cool PSA for Japan.  So nice we played it twice!

CARTOON TRUCK STOP- August 25th!

I had a dream. Food trucks lined up as far as the eye can see. All different styles, all delicious. Crowds of people gather, talk, and share a bite to eat. In the mist of the grey blue fog, shines the flicker of an outdoor video screen. On that screen, Ghettomation and other hilarious cartoons display as the crowds mingle and have a laugh together. A true communal event.

That dream, my friends, is now a reality. Food trucks meet indie animation. And you, are there...

Welcome to the Cartoon Truck Stop. 

I'll be your "cartoon DJ" that evening with my projector.  Big thanks to Roxie and the crew of Fresh Fries for helping make this happen. It's going to be great!

Pomona Art Walk

POMONA, CA- Never been to the Pomona Art Walk held every second Saturday of the month?  Let me tell you, we've been many many times and it is one of the true undiscovered gems of the art world. I say undiscovered with a bit of a wink. Lots of people know about it. Last night we took Jose "Crying Macho Man" Cabrerra and his lovely wife Naomi. They both reside in the Westside of LA with it's own thriving art scene. Jose was quite impressed and I think he's going to pursue his own art show in Pomona.

You see some interesting things in old Pomona.

The DA Gallery had a huge memorial show for artist Magu Lujan (no relation). It was packed and amazing.

The Lujans and Cabrerras hanging at the DA. Free food and drink...whaaaa??

Futures Collide/EVE Gallery. One of the coolest spots on the block.

Now were talkin' art! (Futures Collide)

Sophisticated beverage, anyone?

Our posse runs deep. Our posse has velocity.

Get tatted!

Crazy parties upstairs!

Free live bands!

The Three Amigos. Lujan, Cabrerra, Hernandez all in Pomona. What a dream!

Speaking of Cabrerras....Supertalented artist Lisa Cabrerra's gallery on Second St.

One of the sweetest people I know. Lisa Cabrerra's art is amazing! Go see her!

Smokey Mirrors gallery

It's P-Town, y'all....EZ had to make an appearance!

Historical building in the background, hysterical family in the foreground.

The DA Gallery at night...conveniently located next to the coolest wine bar.

Ending the night with the best (and cheapest) Pho food. Sooooo gooood!!

Wanna have a studio in Pomona?

All in all, if you're an artist, fan of the arts, or just like to look at cool buildings and have free food and drink- I highly suggest you check out the Pomona Art-walk every second Saturday of the month. Lots of really cool art and artists to see. Music, food, a real friendly atmosphere (kids too). If you just want the party scene, believe me it's there. We saw some artist loft parties that were straight out of  Less Than Zero! Its a real mix and there is something for everyone. You can tour many of the artist's lofts, too.  This won't be the "undiscovered" art scene for long. It's way too cool and vibrant.

The next art-walk is Saturday, September 10th. Save the date and see you there!

Hugo Loves Shady People!

Hugo (Man of 1000 Faces) totally digs my SHADY PEOPLE DVD collection of cartoons...you should too! Have you picked up your copy yet? You can get it at my GHETTOMATION STORE . Makes a unique gift, heirloom, or even skeet shooting material.  Pick one up today and sit back and watch some truly funny (and shady) cartoons. It's all PG13 stuff, folks. Oh yeh, Thanks to Mike Perez for letting me foster parent Hugo. He loves it at my house.
