New Brudders

In episode 8 of Brudders, Sergeant sets the record straight.

If you're on Facebook, you can join the new Brudders group and talk about, well, the brothers. Click here to visit Brudders on Facebook.

Sergeant and Toullie can read (they're very talented cats,) so don't be surprised if they join a discussion.

It's Turkey Time!

No, it isn't Thanksgiving yet but Turkey for Dinner, the printed edition, has arrived! The quality of this book is quite nice and we're pretty excited about it. It's available now in the Little Green Dog Store. Of course, you can still preview it for free on the website.

And anudder Brudders is online. In episode 7, Toullie discusses the family tree with Sergeant.

Bon Appétit!

A week late but episode 6 of Brudders is here.

The print edition of Turkey for Dinner is in its final proofing stage. If all goes well, you'll find the book in our online store next week. We'll tell you more after we get the next proof.

Toullie Sings

Bravo! Click here to read the first musical episode of Brudders. This one should be sung to the tune of Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World.

The Saga Continues

Meow! The fourth Brudders comic strip has been uploaded to the comics section. And while we're at it, we posted two new episodes of Streams too.

There are two new additions in the Gallery.

Valentine was a concept painting for a plush toy Alisa made. Here's the plushie.



(Hmm. I wonder how Sergeant and Toullie would look as plushies?) The second painting is the original textless artwork for the Hello Frankenstein one-sheet.

If you had trouble accessing some pages on this website last week, it was probably because we were tweaking the interface. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused caused but all should be good now. Better actually.

Brudders

Making its debut today with three episodes is Brudders, a new comic strip featuring Sergeant Marshmallow and Ratatoullie. The fourth Brudders strip will appear next Sunday, and a new strip will follow every Sunday after that.

Streams will finally get on with some new strips next week.

We're also working on a third comic strip but it won't be ready to post for a few months yet. For now we're going to focus on just one, well, okay, two new things at a time.

RVJ fell way behind schedule, but it looks like we may be able to wrap this short film this summer, assuming our 'day job' as animators doesn't kill the season for us again. When we get close to finishing the project, you'll read about it here first.

Turkey for Dinner's print release also fell behind schedule. We're targeting the 4th of July for final print preparations, and will send it to press a few days after.

Sorry again for all delays, and thanks for sticking around.

Turkey for Dinner

Turkey for Dinner was created way back in 1995 to explore the feasibility of creating children's books using then current 'off-the-shelf' 3D software. To put this period in context, this was the same year Pixar released the first Toy Story movie, so 3D technology was not commonly seen in the mainstream yet.

I was already working as a illustrator back then but looking for a way to distinguish my style from other artists. 3D seemed like a good direction and, even though Turkey for Dinner is primitive by today's standards, it was a pretty good start for the time. The book was never published but it brought me a lot of other 3D work for many years.

You can now read Turkey for Dinner on the website for free. If you'd like to own a printed copy of the book, it will be available for purchase in the store soon. (Update Aug 3, 2008: The print edition is now available from Little Green Dog Press.)

Little Green Dog plans to produce more children's books so keep reading this blog for future title announcements.
