KND SEASONS 4, 5 and 6 UP ON NETFLIX

HEY!

Were you the one 

asking when seasons

four

five

and

six

of

Codename: Kids Next Door 

were gonna be on

Netflix?

Because only seasons 1-3

have been available 

for, like, evuh.

Well, guess what?

Not sure how long they've been up

but my little ninjas just found out 

yesterday.

Just don't ask me when

seasons

one

two

and

three

will be back.

LOOK WHO GOT TURNED INTO A RAINBOW MONKEY!

Who would absolutely

HATE

to be turned into a 

Rainbow Monkey?

Numbuh Four,

of course!

(more like Numbuh FUR, amiright?)

Amazing work by 

sooper krafty

special operative

Lizmet Guzman,

right?

She made it for her pal

Dezi

who rocked some serious 

Numbuh Three 

cosplay

at

Wondercon:

Man,

I love me some

homemade 

Rainbow Monkey!

You guys rule!

WONDERCON 2014

As I mentioned last year,

I go solo to

ComicCon,

but I make

WonderCon

all about my 

two

goblins.

Sure, it's still crowded

and the chances of losing them are 

3:1

(That's K in the green shirt 

just before being swallowed

by nerddom)

But it's worth it for the boys

to get to play

Mario Kart 8

before 

the general public does:

We even got driver's licenses:

Any table with

anything 

Pokemon

is a guaranteed stop.

(the boys stop, too)

We were pretty sure 

sooper stylist Mom

didn't need any 

nerd-themed leggings 

but we took a picture 

anyway:

Japanese toys were also a 

big draw:

And of course,

cosplay and robot building:

We especially enjoyed the mash-up

of cosplay and Mario Kart:

And

YES!

In preparation for

the release of this summer's

sooper fun 

Where's Waldo-style book

THE SEARCH FOR CATBUG

(which I have an illustration in)

I FOUND CATBUG!

I wish I took more pictures

but I was too busy losing my kids.

Hopefully I'll find them before next year!

OTTAWA ANIMATION FESTIVAL 2014

Come September

don't judge me for getting

all judgmental

over here:

Uh huhs...

It's gonna be my sooper supreme honor

to be a judge at the 

Ottawa International Animation Festival

this year.

Here's my bio:

Tom Warburton est le créateur de la colossale série originale 

Codename : Kids Next Door sur Cartoon Network. 

M. Warburton a auparavant réalisé Sheep in The Big City pour Cartoon Network, 

supervisé le design des personnages pour Disney, 

et a passé cinq ans dans le studio j.j.Sedelmaier productions 

où il était chef décorateur pour Beavis et Butthead sur MTV, 

puis réalisateur des nouveaux épisodes de 

Schoolhouse Rock et Saturday Night Live sur Funhouse TV. 

Son premier livre illustré 1000 Times No a été publié en 2009. 

Récemment, M. Warburton est revenu chez Disney comme directeur artistique sur 

Fish Hooks et co-producteur de 7D!

I have no idea what it says either.

But rumour has it there's a translation over

HERE

along with the bios of my esteemed judgy colleagues

(including David OReilly!)

And I've said it before

but it bears repeating;

Ottawa is my 

FAVORITE

animation festival.

I love the city.

I love the screenings.

I love the people.

I love the parties.

It was the first festival 

I attended after my 

opening for the

ASIFA EAST ANIMATION FESTIVAL

was accepted.

And it was the mega ultimate honor to have 

Codename: Kids Next Door win

Best Television Animation Made for Children

not once but 

TWO YEARS

in a row!

So maybe I'll see you in 

Ottawa

this September?

I'll be the one blathering on and on with 

festival director

Chris Robinson 

about

animation,

hockey,

The Who

and

Guided By Voices!

DANCERS OF WAR!

After advising you to send

ALL YOUR MONEY

to

Maxwell Atoms'

Dead Meat

kickstarter

project

I now heartily advise you to send

ALL YOUR OTHER MONEY

to this:

I know.

You're all like,

Dancers of Whaaaaaa?

And I'm like,

DANCERS OF WAR!

It's a video game being put together by these guys:

Then you wonder loudly,

Okay,

so a bunch of geniuses are making a game.

What's it about?

Looks fun, right?

So why dontcha pack a suitcase of money 

and head on over to their

kickstarter page over

HERE!

THE SKETCHBOOK THAT WOULDN'T DIE

So like,

WHAT WAS THIS 

SKETCHBOOK'S 

PROBLEM?

(aside from the Air Jordan/Heisenberg sticker mash-up)

It took 

FOREVER 

to get through this thing.

It started on

November 5th, 2013

And

FINALLY

ended on

April 6th, 2014

I usually can get through a

sketchbook in 3 months or so.

But this one dragged.

Mainly because I was working on a couple

sooper secret pitch books,

an illustration for

The Search For Catbug

and

other stuffs.

And a huge portion of this book is filled 

with some character design 

I'm working on for a show idea.

Not sure it'll go anywhere,

but you never know.

But to be honest...

this was one of those volumes that 

I just wasn't feeling.

Sometimes you think you're 

drawing is moving forward.

Other times you're staring at a blank page 

and everything you put down just feels

BLAH.

Sooper pal

Kano 

says that if you put stickers 

on a sketchbook before drawing in it,

it's bound to suck.

But I feel the opposite.

You can't start a book until you've got 

it stickered.

And I stickered this one first,

but still...

meh

Regardless,

you fight your way through 

and draw stuff like

map-wielding dwarves:

You go to the premiere of

I Know That Voice:

And

you

draw

draw 

draw:

And then one day 

you're done:

And you move on to the next one!
