10 Things You Must Know About Clown Versus Monkey

1. It's Halloween and the movie is finished!
2. Just kidding.
3. I did my traditional last week of October vacation and locked myself in a small room, ignored telephones, friends, family, and hygiene, and now I am please to announce that I am a whole half scene closer to being finished!
4. Note to self: This is not operating in mind time, but in sticky reality time. Clown Monkey Time goes by a lot faster then People Day Job Time.
5. I spent the week animating baby clowns in an aquarium.
6. Borrowing a new scanner that is like a wand I wave over the pictures and upload them, and then my computer crashes and I drive to Sonic and drink a Pumpkin Pie Milkshake and then fill the empty cup with tears and sadness.
7. I am seeing the film not as a film, but as a slow stream of visuals based on a them that will eventually be collected and arranged in a film and book. But it isn't about the traditional "finishing the movie" How boring. What the hell is a movie anyway? It is about the moments that condensate onto the idea. Like a cold bottle of coke. Coke = Clown Versus Monkey, Updates = wet glass, Finished movie = sponge bath.
8. This whole thing is sort of inspired by the terrible movie Speed Racer, where I sat there going "what a terrible movie" while simultaneously going, "what an awesome series of Trapper Keepers".
9. Look they still make Trapper Keepers. Maybe I can release this movie as a series of Trapper Keepers. http://www.mead.com/meadstore/catalog/category.jsp?categoryId=Trapper_Keeper_MEAD&pageName=catPage&rootCatId=Brands_MEAD&isSubCategory=true&catId=Trapper_Keeper_MEAD&isEqual=&prodId=&parentId=
10. To the true believers who have bought a copy of the movie, don't fall into despair and disillusionment yet, Clown Versus Monkey grows stronger by the day, and it's love for you with it.

BONUS - I had another "moment" uploading on YouTube, but it got chunked up, so it's coming, baby clowns in a collection aquarium coming soon.

so these are quick and dirty renderings of the scenes, because I'm wasting too much time trying to optimise this stuff. Everything will be shiny come the final render.

New Comix Idea


Here is a comic idea I'm writing, illustrated by Jason Von Stein. Just writing a page, then giving it to Von Stein. It's all about back yard wrasslin and space wars.
