That New Show Smell

This afternoon marked the first official day of Pen Ward’s new short, “The Bravest Warriors”. Part fast-paced action adventure, part heartfelt emotional journey with a Tickle Monster, “The Bravest Warriors” will make you laugh, make you cry, and have you gettin’ in touch with your feelings, all in a matter of minutes. 7 minutes to be exact. His director, Randy Myers, has quite the impressive resume, and sat in on Pen’s re-pitch this afternoon.

For those of you new to the blog, Pen is a recent Cal Arts graduate, and his first “Oh Yeah!” short, “Adventure Time”, is overseas getting animated as I type.

We’re all looking forward to seeing what’s next! Pen will no doubt wow us again in Round 2.

After patiently stalking–err–waiting outside of Pen Ward’s office for a few days, I was finally able to snap a pic of him just seconds after he put the finishing touches on his Ice Clops. He’s very happy.

For those of you unfamiliar with Pen, he was shipped to Oh Yeah! fresh from Cal Arts, and rumor has it, “Adventure Time” was created somewhere on the white sandy dunes of a beach in Hawaii. Urban legend or fact? Only the Rainicorn knows…
