Regardless, I've been driving around all week long in and around here in Van Nuys, and have been spotting many pumpkin patches, and Halloween shops. That being said, I'm all ready for Oct. to start, so to put you in the Halloween spirit here's one of my favorite little poem's.

"It's Just Halloween"

Weird-looking creatures,
Can always be seen.
Don't be afraid for
It's just Halloween.

Hundreds of specters,
With goblins between.
Don't be afraid for
It's just Halloween.

Crackling bonfires
Light up the weird scene.
Don't be afraid for
It's just Halloween.

Until next time...pleasent nightmare's fiends!

2007-08-25T13:58:00.000-07:00

Hey monster kids! Just went on my pal Jay Stephen's Monsterama blog, and it looks like the powers that be at Cartoon Network are making him change the title of his upcoming animated series from 'The Secret Saturdays", a title that's original and so iconic to 'The Secret Adventures Of Zak Saturday", which does not represent the show at all.

I for one am very upset, and I've already sent CN a message telling them how I feel, and think their making a very big mistake. If you feel the same, and want to show Jay
your support go HERE right now!

Re-animated Von Kreep

2006-06-09T10:26:00.000-07:00
Here's one of the newest incarnation's of my character, Von Kreep for our monster kids cartoon pitch "Welcome to Kreepsville, U.S.A". Since he's a mad doctor, I thought it would be fun if he experimented on himself. So I shared this 1950's/1960's sci-fi/horror film atomic age technology idea of a floating brain inside a glass tube with Darryl Young and he came up with these two designs.

I really dig the 1st one with the three brains, because it shows that Von Kreep gave himself two extra brains because he wanted to have major brain capacity. This proves that you never know how far you can take a character design wise. We took David Hartman's original design, and gave it something outrages that works within our monster world concept.

If you still haven't check out our Kreepsville Kartoon blog, I suggest that you kreep on over
right away! You've been warned...
