Hey everyone. The latest episode is out and it's a fun one.
Also, we've been tossing around the idea of a Mad Mad Mario 2. :D I'm bringing in some additional animators to help out because I hardy have any free time anymore with doing AL and taking care of "little Appsro".
If anyone knows After Effects (I know this is a mostly flash site... sorry :p) and would like to help me out with animating Prostitute Mickey 3, Mad Mad Mario 2 and a couple other creations we have in mind that would be super. I mostly just need help with the lip syncing process. I can pay a little and I will give the animator a small percentage of the add revenue and credit.
Anyways, be sure to check out the latest Apocalypse Lane on escapistmagazine.com
Also, here's a pic of me and little Appsro, for fun. :p
later ya'll

Helloooo Newgrounds!!
Today is a big day for me and for anyone that enjoys my animation and sense of humor. My new show "Apocalypse Lane" priemeres TODAY at NOON over at The Escapist.
One episode will priemere every week and I will be producing a total of 48 episodes! Hopefully many more if the series is a hit.
I owe alot to Newgrounds and all the people who supported my cartoons because it was you guys who helped me land this sweet gig. i will continue to support this site and I hope you guys will continue to support me by watching the show and showing it to all of your friends, grandmothers, and creepy uncles.
So remember, every Friday at noon at escapistmagazine.com be sure to tune in and check out the latest episode of Apocalypse Lane.

Hello Everyone.
I've not been seen on Newgrounds in a few weeks so I guess i'll clue some of you in on what's going on.
Prostitute Mickey 3 is on hold right now, as are more episodes of Renegade Awesome, but they will eventually get made. The real exciting news is why they are both on hold.
I have just signed a contract with a website called escapistmagazine.com to produce a 48 episode web series of an entirely original show. I'm finally getting paid to do this shit. Yaaaaay!!! I can't reveal anything about the show right now but we came up with some really funny characters that live in this world that can only be described as "disgusting".
We are hoping to premiere the show at the end of this month or the beginning of next. The episodes will be about 3-5 minutes long each, and we will have a new episode every week for the entire 48 episode run.
You can hear a bit about it if you follow this link to smirkstudios radio show. I did an interview last weekend and this weekend. Check it out here if you get a chance.
What's nice about when something like this happens it gives me hope for all us struggling animators. i think as time goes on, more and more websites are going to realize the value of originally produced content, be it live action or animated, to help drive people to their website and keep people coming back.
I think most of us can agree the youtube formula can't cut it. Youtube is like digging through a large pile of shit full of small gold nuggets. When you find the nuggets it's great but wouldn't it be nice if the nuggets we're already on the homepage when you go to a website.
Newgrounds is great because there is far less shit. There is still shit mind you, but I find the nuggets are easier to find because of a semi-fair rating system that weeds out most of the crap. How mine keeps getting through I have no idea. Plus you get paid a little bit with the API system and all which to me is GROUNDBREAKING. Kudos Tom. :)
But regardless, when the show premiers I'll post a link and i hope you all will enjoy it and become fans. if not, that's cool too. I realize all people are different and not all of us like the same thing. Though it would be much easier on us animators if you did. :p
I will eventually do the third Prostitute Mickey. We have it recorded and it's too funny not to animate.
My roots will still lie on Newgrounds and I'll try to post an episode or two once we get several episodes in if they will let me. Right now though... I got a lot of drawing to do.

OK, while this isn't an official sequel, it might still be good for a laugh. I was asked to animate a short sketch for a local film festival with the Mickey character. He has become kind of a celebrity here in wilmington among the local film crowd. I figured I would upload it for any of you Prostitute Mickey fans out there.

The film festival i made this for is the "Final Cut Film Festival" in which a bunch of teams are given 36 hours to make a film.
CHECK OUT THE FILM WE MADE THIS YEAR AND SEND IT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!! :)

Keep in mind it was made in 36 hours, so it's far from perfect but it's still damn entertaining.
In case you were wondering, I played the character "Marcus"
You guys rock!

Hey everyone.
I have a new cartoon out called "Mad Mad Mario" http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/
489186
Check it out. Me and Mahony from Hank and Jed got pretty wasted one evening and came up with it. Af first I was reluctant to do a Mario parody since there are a million of them on this site but I figured, "What the hell."
Next up will most likely be another Prostitute Mickey. We're getting together tonight to have a brain storming session and we'll see what comes out of it.
If you enjoy my work, and you have at least 15 cents, head on over to my website appsro.com and contribute to my cartoon fund. The more extra beer I can afford the crazier my ideas will become. :)
Everyone should check out this short film the Hank and Jed boys made. Enjoy

Later. :p
