Cartoon Tom is a parody cartoon character on MySpace, which recently got deleted. There’s too many problems with Porn Spam bots on there, and they may have been flooding the Add Me box and it probably got picked up by Administration Bots on MySpace.

So, I’ve been at it drawing up new toons and updating the new page for Cartoon Tom. On top of that, check out our Deviant Art page for reports and previews of coming comic book titles we’re working on, which is keeping us very busy!

Other news:
Yeah, as the first promotional image for the job was posted, I decided to post the announcement as well. Rob Dyrdek, from Rob and Big has a new toon and toy line coming out…

I suppose I was in the running for the job, and rep said my lil skater toons were all cool and stuff. I wanted to do another set, and told the guy I will make it more “cutesy” and more youthful for last say. He never responded, so I assumed they chose someone else for the project.

The deal was somewhere around $20,000 for the gig, plus percentage of revenue from the toy sales, from what I read, anyways. These will be toys along with its animated show, probably on one of the Viacom channels, since Rob Dyrdek already has a show on MTV (Viacom).

There was no Non Disclosure agreement for doing the samples for the rep for final word, but I waiting until something was announced before I gave out info on the IP.

Anyways, here’s the art, and his blog with the selected art he chose over mine. Which looks traditional and cutesy.

If you haven’t paid attention, I’ve been busy!

In a nice way.

Yeah. Some comic book writers have been collaborating with me, and now I am producing samplers and an online comic book for both.

I’ve been previewing and posting art from both on our Deviant Art page. However, I do plan on updating new comic strips that have been sitting on my hard drive.

Stay tuned for new stuff this week. Finally!
