THE NOVAKS | VIDEO ART

Our pals over at Inside Music are thinking it's time we get together to hammer out a video for a band they represent. The Novaks are a Newfoundland Rock band that is getting heavy rotation on Much Music. Great tunes, you can buy their latest album off of itunes or in your closest record shop I'm sure.

We're currently throwing around some art direction to see what sticks. These were done up by Fatkat's very own Mike Gilbert. I friggin love these designs, and you should too.

We'll keep you tuned on this bad boy.

FATKAT KREW PARTY 3 | GAY VAMPIRE

Just this week we were inspired to have a gay vampire party. Why? Well you should have been reading the blog at the beginning of the week. Those posts are now deleted, but the party had to go on.

I unfortunatley did not attend I fell asleep in the car on the ride home and we swerved off the road and hit a family of five, killing them instantly. It was a good thing I knew some vampires at this party to come clean up the mess.

Here's some pictures, enjoy yo'self!

Daniel was the only guy to go out all fanged up.
\Cameron and Spicy heat things up. Perverts.

Dean Concannon was in attendence.


Hey Salad! - more drink less draw fucker!


Pictured here is a vampire bag of carrots.





Andy puked in his mouth a bit here.

Even my old pal Bingo showed up. Damn I missed a good one.

James, a former bull-rider, was shitfaced in 8 seconds.

He was walking like an egyptian at the 12 second mark.

However at the 25 second mark the drunken stuper began to take its tole.

44 second mark, the skin began to yellow.

At 63 seconds, the inevitable discharge of Vodka, lime and a bag chocholate icing.

And twenty mintues later, Jimmy passed out in the hallway to the kitchen. Good on you James. He sleeps there even as I type.

Who's your pervert? :o)

Next week another party, another theme, another drunken puke o rama!

TAKING THE HIGH ROAD BABY

You should never criticise, condemn or complain. You should also not cause others undue stress, or make light of their shortcomings; even if you think they deserve it.

A lesson not recently learned, but recently remembered. Always take the high road.

COOL NEW SHOW!

Our Producer pal Buddy Bolton is a genius when it comes to creating animated shows. One thing he's particulary good at is producing memorable pitch packages. Below is pictures of a new show we'll be pitching together called "INSIDERS". Amazing stuff.

Here is a demo pack of Insiders....with circuitboard binder and show spelled in cool lil' computer/tv components...thought the circuits/components and the circuit board might inspire the artists....


you likey?...got 15 binders...any other thoughts or ideas???

Lovies,

Buddy

FATKAT KREW PARTY - JAN 2006

To honour our now full house at Fatkat Animation Studios, we decided to have krew party to help everyone meet everyone else; it was a blast! We went down the street to Dooly's where we get the special Fatkat rate. We shnozed on Pizza and drinks for a few hours then all headed over to Mega's and James' place for a nightcap.


This morning when I came into the studio, I once again found someone passed out on my couch. This time it wasn't who I expected it to be.

Melanie, Liz and Carrie share some thoughts on life and on Leon's undergarments.

Brie looks on as Robert shoots me the pervert look.

Nikki goes skiing.

Patrick and Shamus O'Toole, the life of the party.

Andrew getting his sharpshooter on.

The next shot, Christopher turns and gets Doug's tongue in his mouth.

Things start to get crazy.


Salad hits on the ladies, even the ones that are married or spoken for.He's the most dastardly oompa loompa I've ever met.

In this next section, I took a survey of all the Kats in attendence. The question? - To tell me what they're favorite vegetable was, then to picture it... ...being shoved into their bum.

Christopher picked a lovely butternut squash.

Liz was all about the brussel sprouts.

Tara went for a sultry potatoe.

Daniel went for a banana. Which is actually a herb, but when shoved into one's bum hole, doesn't make the slightest bit of difference.

Cameron went for a watermelon.

Elder came in with some sweet potatoe.

Brie chimed in with some celery sticks.

Salad came in with asperagus.

Andrew went for chives.

Nikki went with... ...something else.

Beside the fact that this new Kat bares a striking resemblence to Monty Burns of The Simpson's fame, I believe Bobby went with some carrots.

Mark said something about kidney beans, but he had a mouthful of them at the time.

Joel went with some turnips.

John actually had to check his ass to see what vegetable was in there already, he pulled out a week old piece of brocolli. Later on that night, another piece of brocolli fell out of his bum when he was line dancing, yes, line dancing...

Jared, wouldn't tell me. He thinks we're all idiots.

Carrie went with a pumpkin. Ouch.

Reefer Madness - chose baby tomatoes.

Clubhouse went with a ripe head of lettuce.

Robert shoved in some pickles and shot me this look. Pervert.

Sam giggled and then said something about a zucchini.

James naturally chose the cabbage.

I can't remember what I chose, but whatever it was, I think Pat had it in his hands during this picture.

Helle was craving some wheat.

Coyle went with a choice blend of hops and barly, naturally.

Spence was grabbing a bag of carrots all night.

Douggie chose outdated cauliflower.
When I asked Gwen, she said "Who told you I was into that!!??".

Neven went with a radish.

END OF SURVEY.

James passed out in his kitchen.

The fab four digging the jam.

Nikki gets gangsta.

Daniel goes into a tequila attack.

Patrick, shitfaced.

Goodtimes.

Mega, givin'er on the river. Thanks for hosting yet again guys!

Until our next party,
