New Album "THOSE WILD DAYS" out TODAY! If you listen to it here on twitter (using the little embedded audio player) there are actually unique pictures for each individual song. Dolls by Erin Paisley. Photography & Sets by Victoria Cloyes (and myself).
Just a reminder that GdT’s Pinocchio starts streaming on Netflix THIS FRIDAY (Dec 9th)! I co-wrote it, if that makes you more interested. Uh… or if that makes you LESS interested, then uh, then… i DIDN’T co-write it, i swear!
(oh i'm also really proud of writing the song for the candy queen's song sequence! i love her design & character, look at her EYESSS! haha. it's in episode 6 of the new fionna and cake series too!)
Warner officially posted the Over the Garden Wall “Read and Listen Book” on youtube. It was a promo vinyl record & book for reviewers in 2014. It tells the shows story, but purposefully tells it wrong. Has some easter eggs. Jack Jones (the frog) narrates
i was kindly given the opportunity to watch this series ahead of release and i really love it. it's really special. i love carol. i hope we get more of this, and shows like this, that do what they wanna do. it comes out on friday (dec 15th) on netflix.
A mysterious planet is hurtling towards Earth, the end of the world is imminent. While everyone is off to pursue their wildest dreams -- one quiet and always uncomfortable woman stands alone.
Carol & The End of the World starring Martha Kelly premieres December 15.
im late to the party about this “calarts style” thing but just wanna help clear things up:
1) yes there is one and only one cal arts style
2) it is superior to all other styles
3) soon we the gatekeepers shall vanquish all animation but the one true cal arts style from this earth
oh i forgot -- gallery nucleus still has "over the garden wall" posters and pins from the concert back in 2017 if anybody's interested! (I designed the black&white one, and
@ncrossanimation
and i collaborated on the full color one)

I didn't do too much drawing while writing Pinocchio, but now i'm trying to figure out how to draw the characters. Gepetto is really complicated, haha! (If anybody else does any drawings of the characters send 'em to me please!)

I just found out that if you search "Over the Garden Wall" on Google you get a little parade of OTGW emojis! (I don't know why this is happening, but it's cute!)
Send me some questions about the writing of Pinocchio! I might do a video answering a bunch! (I don't love normal interviews cause I ramble on, don't think linearly & my mouth is full of marbles, so my "quotes" tend to be heavily edited/rewritten or missing context unfortunately)
I think the sequel to the sonic movie should follow the tragic story of the original ugly-looking sonic getting publicly despised and then "disposed of" while being replaced by the cuter one. Ugly sonic just trying to live... in a world that doesn't want him to live.
Ohhhh! OTGW vinyl back in stock soon! And sounds like they’ll be able to do a pre-order if they sell out, essentially keeping it in stock… so hopefully whoever wants it can get it. Phew!
OVER THE GARDEN WALL Back in stock next week, on a new colorway. Also on CD and Cassette for the first time (not to be confused with the For Sara cassette, which I’m still working on) Thanks for your patience.
I have never noticed this, and i never will! But hopefully you other people notice and enjoy this full retelling of Over the Garden Wall in Suess-esque style!
'Tis the season to re-up my masterpiece. What if Dr. Seuss had written "Over the Garden Wall"? Every year I hope
@Patrick_McHale
will notice me, but it never happens. Sad.)
Son sits petting our cat, Arthur. Has a faraway look in his eyes.
Son: “Poor worms.”
Me: “Haha, why worms?”
Son: “People put them on hooks. People even eat them! But they help the earth. Arthur doesn’t do anything to help the earth. He just lays here getting pet.”
i'm rather proud of this song i wrote with J.R. Kaufman (of
@blastingcompany

zero people mentioned this but in "baked w/ love" i made the creative choice to use the word "blender" instead of "mixer" because it was funnier. i apologize to all my "bake-heads" out there for the inaccuracy. my rationalization is that Candy Queen is all gunked up in the brains
casually passing my hand over a cup of warm tea and realizing it feels like someone's breath. do we drink warm drinks because it feels like a kiss? I remember in the early 2000s sipping a warm bottle of water that'd been sitting in a hot car and it felt memorably... romantic.
HELLO! I'll be at the Overlook Film Fest in New Orleans (with
@ncrossanimation

Im glad airplanes aren’t, like, crawling with insects. Glad there aren’t little black insects crawling all over us on this airplane. What a relief for everybody there aren’t insects coming out and, like, crawling all over us getting under our clothes biting our skin or whatever.

Son: How does a snail brush its ears?
Me: Is this one of those jokes where you say, "It doesn't have any ears"?
Son: No, it DOES have ears.
Me: Really?? Ok, well then I dunno. How does it brush its ears?
Son: It doesn't brush its ears.

More rock facts here:
Omg, an anthology series where you take bad internet fan fiction of various shows and adapt it into fully produced episodes using the real actors and stuff.
I got a copy of the Bags graphic novel today! It's printed so nice... and 9x6 is such a perfect size for it. I hope people like this weird little book. Comes out at the end of this month!
instead of a viewmaster movie, can i get funding to make a viewmaster slide universe by making a series of slides based on original ideas, public domain folktales, and obscure old comics and children's books from the 30s & 40s or whatever?
