Here's the sound track for Phallus of Glycon.
Fernando and the Pink Floppy Disk of Chaos - Episode 1 - The Phallus in the Sky
Here is the first episode of the Disk of Chaos series.So far I'm just publishing it just for patrons, not publicly yet. So please don't share it!I decided to do this after the ad revenue thing happened, but now I'm wondering if I should just publish it as a single cartoon when it's done rather than a series. Haven't decided yet. I hope you like it!
Tactical thinking! Mainstream?
Chase made this comment in the Ad rev kerfuffle post and I'd like to make a new post about it and my response to it because it got me thinking (sorry Chase, hope you don't mind).Chase: "YouTube's business model itself is a problem. In 2014 it had $4 billion in revenue yet made zero profit. The longer YouTube is in a profit vise, the more it will feel a need to squeeze its content makers to part with less profit, too.Content is seriously hard to monetize. The major movie studios t...
Tobey Maguire (new song)
Hey guys here's the results of the collab.Here's an mp3 if anyone wishes to have a copy of this beauty.What do you think...worth animating a cartoon for this?
Ad rev kerfuffle
Has anyone been following the youtube ad boycott thing? I noticed the ad revenue on the day I uploaded the Sweet Boy Beach cartoon was lower than it should be, like less than half of what I would expect. Recently a google employee asked me if I had considered "making longer videos". Yikes wouldn't that be nice if I could animate minutes of animation like shooting a video! Actually the answer is yes, the Sweet Boy Beach series is an attempt to create the low time intensity, longer con...
Sweet Boy Beach - The Stranger and the Storm
Here's the public version if you feel like sharing it.It would have been more appropriate to upload this yesterday because it was the wettest day in six years, but I kept noticing minor mistakes that necessitated re-exporting it, and because of the effect I use on the backgrounds it takes a long time to export and upload, and then it was late and I was like ffuuuuuuuu...I think this one turned out well. I like the Robungo character and the new locations at the beach. I'm not sure how man...
Sweet Boy Beach soundtrack.
Here's the tunes used in SBB Ep2:Super Fierce Special Spirit Zone (the main theme)Nice BoysThis is the theme from Milk of the Manwhore (an early Fernando toon from 2011) slowed down a bit and with slightly different drums. Not sure if it's worth listening to on it's own merits.I made this track for the storm drain scene but it didn't work, which is why I recycled the one above. It's actually a rehashed version of part of Cheap Meds.Cheers.

Switching from "per cartoon" to monthly.
Hey,So for a while now the amount of people watching my cartoons has been on a slightly declining plateau path. The same is true for patron pledges. So I want to make a few changes and see if I can reverse both trends (or one of them at least!)I'm going to switch the patreon to trigger monthly instead of per cartoon starting at the end of this month. I want to try and build my channel by making more shorts like I used to back in 12/13. But I also want to make longer narrative stories, so I&#...
lick lick lick
Fernando and the Phallus in the Sky henceforth referred to as "skydick" is coming along pretty well. Usually at this point during a project I start to dislike if not hate it and question my judgment in starting such a horrendous enterprise but that hasn't happened this time so that's a good sign.I would like to finish it by the end of the month, it's looking kinda unlikely at this point though. Up until this week I thought I might be making a Great Destiny Man series (of shor...
Sky Phallus update
Fernando and the Phallus in the Sky is coming along swimmingly. It's awesome to be animating a flying sequence with Princess the goat and of course drawing Fernando again.Ocelot is going to voice the significant new character. Ocelot also voiced Raymondo from World's Greatest Manwhore and Sergei from Ultimate Street Yacht Battle. I usually give him bad guy parts, I don't know why but it could be because his voice contrasts nicely with mine. I've heard some of his early takes for ...
Ol' Fernball's triumphant return
The gif above is the first few shots of Fernando and the Phallus in the Sky. Usually I do all of the assets and do the animation later but this time around I'm doing it differently. It's more or less already storyboarded in the comic so that saves me time too.I have another script called Fernando and the Phallus of Glycon, but it's so incredibly huge (25-30 minutes and full of action) that I'm unlikely to animate it any time soon, so I'm only a little bit worried about having...
Bruce Wizard - Magic Trick
Here's the public version if you're tempted to share it.There was something about this one, when it was half finished until just recently I despaired of it fitting together, and I felt quite despondent about it. But when I figured out what the music should be and finally got the lines for the Wizard of Zardoz character, it started working, and I'm mostly happy with it now. I hope you all like it, it is certainly one of my weirder ones. I love magic stories and I like the idea of Bruc...

Bruce Wizard - Magic ThemeJackson's ThemeIf I could just toot my own horn a little here, I think this is one of my better soundtracks.
Bruce Update
I thought I'd have it done by now! I might be able to finish it this month, not sure yet. Just kinda blew out. I have made a nice theme for the first half but the second half hasn't fallen into place yet. Also, I'm having some weird technical problems with the voice actor for the antagonist character and don't have those lines yet. So yeh, and that's all I've been doing this month!
Swet Boyz feat. Buce Wyzyrd
Bruce Wizard: Magic Trick is coming along swimmingly, at least visually. It will definitely be one of the weirder ones. Will it be entertaining or any good at all?...only time will tell. I think that's part of the challenge when making something surreal and absurdist, it's harder to know if it's working before the elements come together. I'm trying a new voice actor for the WizardOfZardoz character I think I mentioned in a previous post, I think he'll be good.Sweet Boy Beach ...
Sweet Tunes
Some sweet tunes here from Sweet Boy BeachSweet Dunes I made this after visiting a modern art museum. It has a companion video and they're supposed to function together as an installation but it was too boring so I didn't post it anywhere.Nice Boys The melody is pretty derivative of the track I used for the early versions of the cartoon. I intended it to replace it as the main theme but it didn't work at all. In fact it was such a poor replacement it discouraged me from working on th...
Sweet Boy Beach - The Gloriously Crappy Adventures of Cuthbert & Dante
I finished the collab cartoon from December. I think it turned out ok. Worth making more? Not sure.(Btw not treating this as a patreon cartoon, just an experiment.)
January
I've been storyboarding a tv length project for worldstarhiphop.com for 4 weeks now. A few days ago, Q, the founder of worldstarhiphop, creator of the original concept and client for this job, died in his sleep.So suddenly it looks less likely that this cartoon will be finished, since it's only at storyboarding phase. It might still happen, the producer is committed to finishing it in Q's memory. In any case I'll be finished in 2 days and then it's back to Bruce Wizard. Pictu...
shitpost
Thought I would share this gif of shot 1 of Bruce Wizard: Magic Trick as I'm pretty happy with it. Yeh it's supposed to look like a ripoff of Hogwarts...cause it is. The text on screen will be "Wizard School".Some of you might have read some of the house of squid comics my friends and I have drawn over the years. Last night we had a gathering of 8, including all but one of the old crew.Here's the first one. If you want to read more after (and I'd understand if one was eno...
New Years Eve WORD WALL
Last day of the year huh?The title image is Bruce Wizard teaching a class at Wizard School. You can't see it here but in the reverse shot it is revealed that his pupils are tremendously bored with his whispery drivel.I want to say THANK YOU to all of you for your patronage this year. I really hope that I have made a few things you enjoyed. Without your support I couldn't continue to make eccentric cartoons with no commercial basis for existing.I can't remember if it was for new years...
Next project.....
I've made a new section for my crowd written cartoon Sweet Boy Beach (starts around 1:44 if you remember the first part). My goal was to finish it before christmas, and I got a good suggestion for how to end it in one more part, but I've been simultaneously working on a piece of music for it, and when I put it into the project, it was no where near as good as the placeholder music, to the point where it felt ruined. So I need to give up on making it quickly and come up with some more sui...
My Mother-in-Law is a Scorpion
Here's the public version if you want to share it.Thank you so much everyone for helping fund another of my monstrosities! I'm really happy with how this one turned out.This is how it started life, almost 4 years ago now.What do you guys think about titling it something else and removing the scorpion from the thumbnail in order to not spoil the reveal? I'm reluctant to call it anything else because it's such a fantastic title.My plan is to make some more Sweet Boy Beach in the sh...

Scorpiooooooo
My Mother in Law is a Scorpion happening this week! Like, 4 or 5 days. Gotta fix up backgrounds and put some polish on the song. Tried out some harmonies and also falsetto, which is a first for me. When I've tried harmonising in the past I've done it in my safe zone low notes, and its sounded a bit rubbish, or very rubbish perhaps. It seems singing high is the way to make it work. But the separate takes mask the awkwardness of each other I think. Not sure if the falsetto really adds to i...
Content experiment - Sweet Boy Beach
*edit* the first version of this post had a dodgy link to the video , its fixed now.A few days ago I posted two sketches of beach dudes on the facebook page and asked what sort of things they'd say to each other. I got some good suggestions and I made a short cartoon with very limited animation out of it.I was motivated to do this after attending a youtube event at my old uni campus last Friday. I was on a panel with the guys from the Big Les show which went ok, I don't think I embarrass...
