Cee Cee’s Vacation

She’s baaaaaaaaack…
Our little Cee Cee has so many horrible tales to share with you, preferably at bedtime. Our next short, Cee Cee’s Vacation, will be coming soon. Look! We’ve posted some rough layouts:

Although you might get rejected, even if it is Valentine’s Day.
BOW TIE is a funny little web series from Aphidsjkaboodle on YouTube. He’s adding more and more 30 second episodes to the puzzling world of Bow Tie, so check back for more “yah, yah, yah.”

When suddenly, things took a turn for the worst for Joy.

You’ve got Jake on one hand and Rainicorn on the other …

Put your hands together.
What if Mordechai and Skips mashed up? How about Spy vs.Spy? There is no end to the possibilities in these Cartoon Network ID bumpers created by one of my favorite studios, Nathan Love.

Twins Are Weird
01:
A few weeks ago, my husband Pat found this hilarious novelty account on Reddit, UsernameFanfic, who writes fan fiction based on your Reddit username. I begged UsernameFanfic to do one for our name, twinsareweird, with the promise that I’d create a little comic to accompany it. I LOVED the story and had so much fun coming up with the artwork for it. Here it is:
“Twins Are Weird.”
Joy, maybe we animate this for our next film?
UsernameFanfic has a blog under the alias Q. L. Strange called A Collection of Improbable Things. You need to check it out.
I used the sketches for my Sketchbook Project 2012 submission and just shipped that little guy off to go on tour. Every sketchbook is given a theme and my theme was called, “The Worst Story Ever Told.” This is NOT at all how I feel about this story, but it did make me giggle. It kind of goes along with the subject matter.

Did you hear something?

Aww those cheeks. I just want to pinch them. This is the frame by frame animation sequence of the character that started Scritch-Scratch.

Dexter, animated.
04:
We love Dexter and the innocent morning routine that seems so sinister in the opening titles by Digital Kitchen. That being said, here is a very cool, Saul Bass-inspired, alternative title sequence by Ty Mattson.
Mattson put this fun little animation together using existing artwork from limited edition silk screen posters he made for the show.
For sale at Showtime.

Thanksgiving Story Time
24:
This is a true story, and actually not very Thanksgiving-y. But as I gobble gobble this Turkey Day + give thanks, I’m reminded how thankful I am that my sister is a super hero.
We were seven. Swinging on our swing set in our backyard, just shooting the shit.
I was sucking on one of those peppermint candies at the time. Not the best idea on a swing.
As the candy lodged itself nicely in the back of my throat, I flopped over… backwards.
It was then that I realized I was probably choking.
So I began to make my way to my house. Noey looked like she was catching on.
It did not look good for little Joy. I knew my grandparents were home, but they were all the way up on the 2nd floor. Basically the journey back to my house was the worst.
Noey knew this was it. I was not going to make it up the stairs. She screamed something like, “Not today!” and threw my lifeless body over the railing.
Out popped the candy. “I’m alive!”
Just wanted to thank you for saving my life, Noey!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
~Joy
