Riding Shotgun Debuts
Back in February, I was moved to a new department at work, the TP Digital department.
My new title became “Senior Motion Graphics Artist” and I am now responsible for creating what Tokyopop calls iManga.
Trying to describe what I do to people has been difficult and confusing for all parties involved.
Well, now you can go to Myspace and see for yourself.
Starting yesterday, TOKYOPOP TV debuted on Myspace TV.
Every Tuesday for the next four weeks, you can see my work on the Riding Shotgun iManga. I was (and still am) responsible for the direction and animation of each episode.
The fantastic coloring was all handled by my assistant, Kimie.
The story is a direct adaptation of the comic by Nathaniel Bowden and Tracy Yardley.
On Thursdays, be sure to check out the Bizenghast iManga done by my coworker, Kris.
He does some really nice stuff with the imagery of the series.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, you can see 3D CG versions of I Luv Halloween and A Midnight Opera. These were created in Hong Kong by a company named Menfound.
Enjoy (or don’t if that’s your preferences, punks).

Book Arrived
I got the first copy of my book yesterday.
It looks better than I expected for Print-On-Demand.
After I finish giving the look-over and decide if I want to make any changes, it’ll go up for sale.
Hopefully, this week.
JM #2 and chinnypub update
Jacket Man Issue #2 added to the site.
The book (12 Years Ill Spent) is done. I’m waiting on the proof.
The new Fourchinnigan Publications website is done also.
They’ll both go live when the book is finalized. Hopefully, no more than a week or so.

Watch the interview
Our (Moodoo Puppets) interview on KWHY aired today.
Click here and watch us mangle the Spanish language.
Los Moodoos en el television
Mike and I will be appearing on De Todo Un Poco next week at 10:00 AM. It is a Spanish morning show on Channel 22 KWHY here in Los Angeles. You can also catch it on Mi San Diego TV 43. We shot it last Friday and it was an interesting experience. It was our first times being interviewed on television. Luckily, everyone was very nice and accomodating considering neither of us are especially fluent in Spanish. We performed a 3 minute puppet show we wrote for the program, then attempted a short interview. It was pretty fun.

I plan to tape it and post it online shortly after.
Working on the book
Here is the latest rendition of the front cover, spine, and back cover.
Any comments other than that odd fold covered by stitches thing in the lower left-hand corner?
