Put on your 3D glasses NOW!

Here's another still from the "new 'bot" animation.
It may look a little funny to you, but if you have 3D glasses (with red and blue lenses) put them on now!

Just a glimpse.

I'm still working on the new robot cartoon. I thought I'd post a still of Penny. It looks like she's being watched! What could that be?

He STRETCHES!!!

That's right, this is another still from the new Tommy Robot animated short I'm working on. It's coming along great. For the first time, I have made Tommy stretch his arm in Anime Studio Pro. Those of you who read the Tommy Robot comic books already know that can extend his limbs any length. (Once again, this proves Tommy is a superhero!)
Anyway, the effect looks good when animated! Also, there is a new character. Do you think I'm gonna show it here? No no! You're gonna have to wait until I post the new video when it's done. So keep checking back here.

Free art for you!

Print it out and hang on the refrigerator, put it on a t-shirt, or make a sticker out of it! Use as you wish and enjoy!

Work on new animation has begun!

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
This is a still from the opening scene of the new Tommy and Penny cartoon. I haven't done anything with the characters yet. I want to put more into the backgrounds than I did with "Haunted Funhouse".

A new animation is in the works

I have begun work on a new robot animation. Tommy and Penny will be in it along with some new characters. I've just finished setting up one new creation in Anime Studio Pro. It's the night before Thanksgiving, and I'm going to see my parents tomorrow. I have a long weekend to work on this project.
I am thankful that I have my creativity flowing again.
The new cartoon will be posted on YouTube and ToonTube when completed. And if I complete it before the deadline, I'll enter it into the Rumschpringe film festival. Also, I want to make this a little longer, say four, four and a half minutes. An epic!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

To all 2TCG members

For those who have not heard the news, I have resigned from the Two Trees Cartoon Guild. I wish you all the best, and I am confident that the Guild will carry on without me.

... and something else that's COOL!!!

I've been asked to post Tommy Robot cartoons on ToonTube! http://toontube.toonlifeonline.com
ToonTube is a brand new online community for web cartoons. It's like YouTube, but it's only family friendly animation. Every cartoon posted is automatically entered into a contest each month, and there's a cash prize! For me it's cool because I get to see lots of neat cartoons by other animators, and my little guy, Tommy, gets seen by more people! So go there and check out all the great cartoons. My Profile is at:

Thanks for having Tommy and me, ToonTube!!!

Here's something cool!


I stumbled over this a couple of days ago.
Apparently someone at Content Paradise saw my new Tommy Robot cartoon on YouTube and chose it for their featured animation for their webpage! http://www.contentparadise.com
Content Paradise is a valuable resource digital artists who use programs like Anime Studio Pro, which is what I use to make the Tommy cartoons.
Thanks, Content Paradise!!!

The Haunted Funhouse part 2... finally!!!

Well, it took a really, REALLY long time! But here it is, the long awaited continuation of "The Haunted Funhouse"
Much of the delay, I'll admit, was due to procrastination. I started working on it back in December! That's three months after I posted part one, folks. So anyway, things are really starting to roll on this cartoon around January when all of a sudden my computer dies. I'm not going to go into details, but I'll just say it was the result of my own stupidity.
Anyhow, my computer has been rebuilt thanks very much to my good friend Tim Geiter, and I was able to complete this cartoon. So without further ado...

This one's for you Tim!!!
