Come to the ASIFA East Animation Festival jury screenings tomorrow night (Thursday March 20). I submitted a whole bunch of The Meth Minutes greatest hits. I can’t wait to see how they look on the big screen. When you’ve only seen your work in a 480 pixel window, it’s quite experience to suddenly see it projected 2 stories tall! (I wonder how many pixels that is…)

New Craigs episode in three weeks

I carry my camera everywhere and whenever I see a piece of art that is really weird I need to photograph it and upload it to this Flickr set called “Weirdsider Art”. It’s a close cousin to “outsider art”. The difference is that outsider art is made by weird hobbyists in their spare time. Weirdsider Art, however, is made by strange commercial artists somehow making a living off it. They are interesting, mysterious, and often unintentionally profound.
Take a look.

A kid homages my John Lennon in “Bob Meets the Beatles”

Someone cleverly cut the theme fron Ultra & The LazerHearts up with footage from the original Jem cartoon which it spoofs.

Another person kinda re-animated their own version of Watermelon Nights:

Thanks Youtubers, we love your response videos so keep them coming and don’t be afraid to tell us! We won’t be mad!

Last night, “The Meth Minute”‘ distributor Next New Networks had their big Rock Band party down at the South By Southwest festival in Austin. I didn’t get to go, sadly (these cartoons don’t make themselves).

But I did get a couple of these nifty Meth Minute guitar picks that they gave out as promotional schwag. In the immortal words of Nite Fite’s Penalty: “Hard rocking, bam. Thats what it is.”

A couple weeks ago I was interviewed by Martin Sargent for his Revision 3 show “Internet Superstar”
It starts about 17 minutes into the episode.

Not sure if you can tell, but I had a temperature of about 105 degrees during this interview! I was deliriously sick with a flu and only came into the office to do this interview!

FUN FACT: Martin featured my cartoons way back in 2003 on his G4 show “Unscrewed”. He was talking about “The Smart-Ass Guide to the USA” at that time.

Check out the Revision 3 website. It’s cool!

Thanks again Martin!

Josh Cohen of media site Tilzy.TV dropped by the studio to grill me on “The Meth Minute” and below is the result. They also wrote a very astute article to go along with it.

That’s right, Penalty & LLoyd of “Nite Fite” are back on the airwaves in a couple weeks. I won’t reveal anything about their newest debate topic but I’ll show you some screenshots. The amazing thing about a Nite Fite cartoon is the way their arguments go on one tangent after another yet with there’s some sort of logical progression. Can you believe all these disparate images are from the same cartoon?
