THE VILLAINOUS/KND CROSSOVER

Are you craving MORE Codename: Kids Next Door?
I mean, it's been a long time since a new episode came out.
And it'll probably be a REALLY REALLY  REALLY REEEEEEEEEALLY long time before one does. If EVER!
But in the meantime, there's the VILLAINOUS VILLAIN  ORIENTATION CODENAME: KIDS NEXT DOOR  EPISODE!

Whaaaaaaaaat?!

Allow me to explain.

There's a Cartoon Network

Latin America 

web series  

called

Villainous,

created by

the sooper powerful

Alan Ituriel.

It's a show about a group of inept

 sooper villains

called the

Black Hat Org and a lot of people

LOVE IT!

Well, it turns out that Alan and his team at

A.I. Animation Studios 

are big KND fans and wanted to do a crossover episode with them.

(their Villain orientation videos had already crossed with a 

number of Cartoon Network shows 

like Samurai Jack, Powerpuff Girls and Adventure Time.)

So they gave me a call to run some ideas by me and make sure 

what they were doing worked within the

KND universe.

They were all 

very smart,

very talented,

and

very big

KND nerds!

I couldn't help but be on board.

We had a great time talking

and afterwards I sent

them some drawings to say 

THANKS!

But enough of my blathering.

Why dontcha check out the episode?

Spoiler alert:

Hope you speak Spanish!

SKETCHBOOKS GET DONE FASTER THAN BLOG POSTS THESE DAYS

In case you haven't noticed,

I'm not posting here much.

It's all about the lunch bags these days.

But I'm still filling up 

sketchbooks

(albeit slooooowly)

This one started 

August 5th, 2017

with a

Sooper

Saiyan

Beaker

sticker

mash-up:

And the title page

features my 

Les Paul

for no other reason

than 

just because...

Here's the sketch that got it started:

And then there's the usual

nonsense:

Mighty 

voice actor

Eric Bauza

(voice of Fozzie)

needed to show that not only can do 

voices better than me...

he can 

DRAW

better than me:

My son Parker drew this while we were out one day.

So I stole it.

I had Jenny Slate 

(the voice of Miss Nanny)

sign the book after recording some songs with

sooper Muppet Babies composer

Andy Bean

I love swiping post-it doodles from around the office and

sticking them in a sketchbook:

That's a sooper director Guy Moore

post-it down there:

This was the magnet on all the doors 

on the Social Media Moms Disney Cruise 

I presented Muppet Babies at.

If I still did blog posts,

that would have been an 

AWESOME 

one:

A good portion of this sketchbook is taken up with 

double-page drawings I did at the two 

Muppet Babies Writing Summits 

we hosted.

For two days we sat with a variety of awesome writers and 

brainstormed story ideas for Muppet Babies.

SO FUN!

After the premiere of

Muppet Babies the crew went out for

food and drink so I passed the sketchbook around.

There's some 

Stan Ruiz,

Matt Danner,

Jina Noh,

and John Won

in there,

amongst others.

And then on 

April 11th, 2018 

this one was done:

And I'm off to the next sketchbook!

I hope you're still drawing in yours!

SOME OF THE LAST SKETCHCARDS FROM 2017!

I just found some pics from the last 

batch of holiday sketch cards that

got sent to cooper lucky operatives

who bought prints at the printlab!

I get a LOT of Numbuh 60 requests:

I don't get many episode-specific requests,

so this one from 

Operation: SNOWING

was fun:

Someone asked for a 15th Anniversary card,

which was a neat idea:

Numbuh 362 might be one of the 

most requested

characters:

I'm not sure if we'll be doing the free sketchcard

offer next holiday season.

Depends on how busy things are.

But let's hope so!

They're fun to draw!
