FROM THE OFFICE OF ANDY COYLE

I wanted to put up some samples of the new Space Knights for you guys. For those of you who don't know, it's the "other" show we're doing right now. Though I'm not sure how you wouldn't have known that... unless you're deaf and blind... I digress.

First up is the new Red Knight.



The bombastic leader. You can tell because he wears red and has a heroic voice. Like Brendan Fraser, he's tough yet approachable. Unlike Brendan Fraser, he's a big brother on weekends and teaches kara-tay at the local Y. Artistically all of the other knights look the same, just colored different.

And then we have Beyonda.



Beloved wifey of the Black Knight, Beyonda is best described as hot. Sure... loud-mouthed, bitchy, shrill, and irritating are probably more accurate, but who cares when she looks like that!

Last but most definitely not least, Croctopus!



This giant cross between a crocodile and a platypus is looking for love! He's a libra who enjoys long walks on the beach, getting caught in the rain, and timid woodland creatures. Unfortunately he only dates nines or tens, so he spends most of his time smashing things and yelling nonsense.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

This we see everyday in the studio...

...This, not so much. It's about damn time these two got married. Dave Rigley and Cindy Blakney, two great animators whom I've had the pleasure of working with for almost 5 years now have finally tied the knot. Nice one folks! Congrats!

Much love,

Gene.

DAS BOOT

It's time to get out on ze water!

So, how to get a crapload of animators away from their desks and onto a boat to relax?

Fake a staff meeting down by the wharf and lure them onto a boat with free beer!

Yum!




Thanks to Azade Hachey for the history lessons along the way!

Let's do it again!

Fatkat's couple made in animation heaven, Erika Worthylake and Andy Coyle are proud new parents of this little bundle of joy.

CLOGGIN ALONG

It's been a long time coming, but we're making headway on our property Shadowboy. Mick and I have been tweaking away in the midnight hours with all the new materials.

I hope to show you the fruits of said labour in the upcoming weeks/months/years... ...for now, check out some of micky's stills from the demo.
