THE LITTLE SHORT SIGHTED SNAKE

I just saw this post on cartoonbrew.com and had to wank it. This little short looks so cool and uses alot of shape tweening techniques that we've been using here at Fatkat on Happy Tree Friends and Hopper.



Hats off to Benjamin Bocquelet eand A Film Estonia. I can't wait to see the whole thing!!!

GRILLO BROS. BACK IN CANADA - PT.1

My American friends the Grillo Brothers from Flinch Studio, Tony and Stephen, have done the complete opposite of what most Canadians do this time of year. Flea the warm weather of Florida for a trip the Greath White North.

So what does Fatkat do when one of our most prized and respected clients come up for a visit? - Yup, you're right, have a big party and get them shit-faced (Amongst other things that I'll list later.)

James, Mega and Mike bust out in the Rock 'N' Roll themed party.


I love how Mike and Mega are so hardcore while James eats friggin strawberries.


Reefer Madness, floats on in.

My wife had a great time as the Celtic Assassin.

Tara challenged tony to a fight, but it didn't last long.

Fun time enjoyed by my seldom seen better half.

Gwen and Neven showed up too. They looked like they were having a good time until I asked Gwen for a picture.

She turned quickly and called me a friggin dried up has-been, puked in one of my shoes and passed out on the stairs.

The Celtic Assassin and Shamus O'Toole.

Pat, trying to finish his booze from last weekend.

Spence, totally rocking it.
Rutger Hauer? Sting? Nick Nolte? Nah, Nevey Nesic!

Gwen awoke from her drunkin slumber and attacked me with vicious insults for the rest of the evening. I love this chick.

Yeah, Shamus, I love you too man. Hey, just curious here, but is that a scar caused by swinging a hot spatula around in your kitchen during a 3am drunken attempt at cooking pork chops?

Tony rocks out with Daniel, notice the hot-ass Flinch shirt.

Robert gave me the famous pervert pose while Brie cleaned house at Texas Hold'em.

what a puss.
I love this picture.
Yeah, I love this picture too.

Stephen still floating.
Thériault still rocking.

Love the glasses.

Bev' chills out with Janis Joplin.


These pictures were taking when my camera was fresh in from outside. Some frosty lens action give Stephen and Tony pics a super cool effect.


While we were rocking out at Mega's, someone forgot Leary at the studio. We came back a little while later to find him sleeping upright in the chair in my office. Hilarious Dog, this Leary!

Thanks for hosting yet another awesome party Mega,

More sections on the Grillo's visit to Fatkat coming soon including pictures from our snowboarding trip and a charity event for kids of Miramichi!

PS: Here's the official Grillo Canadian Checklist. These are things that are illegal in Florida that the boys wanted to do while it's do-able in Canada.

A GIGGLE FROM KAMDOWN

A Newfoundland woman "of a certain age", visited her physician to ask his help in reviving her husband's poor sex drive.

"What about trying Viagra?", asks the doctor.

"Oh, no, doctor, I couldn't do dat," she said. "He won't even take an aspirin."

"Not a problem," replied the doctor. "Drop it into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went."

It wasn't a week later, that she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to progress.

The poor dear exclaimed, "Oh jaysus mary and joseph, doctor, twas horrid. Just terrible!"

"Really? What happened?" asked the doctor.

"Well, I did like you said and slipped it into his coffee and de effect was almost immediate. He jumped hisself straight up, with a twinkle in his eye, and with his pants a-bulging something fierce! With one swoop of his arm he sent the cups and tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and then, lard tunder and jaysus, didn't he take me right then and there, making wild, mad, passionate love to me on the tabletop!

It was a nightmare, I tell you!"

"Why so terrible?" asked the doctor. "Do you mean the sex was not good?"

"No, no, no, Doctor. The sex was fine. Indeed, 'twas the best sex I had in 25 years. But, oh me son, I'll never be able to show me face in Tim Horton's ever again!"


muhaha,

HELLO FROM HALATION STUDIOS

Our buddies Yves and RJ from Halation Studios have just updated me on their recent trip to British Columbia. They were on a shoot for one of their clients Property Guys - www.propertyguys.com


Take a peek at their new studio vehicle, a new hummer H3. Nice!!

Amongst their travels they met with very interesting people.

Yves thought it would be nice to share the highlight of his trip with the viewing public. These guys are hilarious!

RJ and Yves have recently dove into the adult entertainment industry. They both went and got their weenises casted and they went to the factory in BC to check on the quality of the mold!

Nice shots guys - I bet you're both a hit at parties.

FATKAT TREATS THE KREW!

Fatkat prides itself on treating those grumbly whiney bitches we call artists and animators with the respect that they deserve! :o) Kidding aside, we really do, when we as the so called "Executive" staff get to go out and attend cool events like our Komedy Night while everyone is back in the studio cranking we don't forget who makes the studio roll. The artists.

Everyone in any industry needs to be treated to something extra by their employer every once in awhile, a steady paychecque is always a bonus in the animation industry. But at Fatkat, we try to go the extra mile for everyone, which is why our company mantra is this:

Ensuring quality of work and quality of life
to those we work for and those we work with.

So just before we got suited up to hit the Komedy Night last week in NYC, the four of us decided to hit Toys r Us instead! - Here's some pictures from the santa bag we brought back for everyone.

I hope everyone enjoyed their goodies. Except Leon, he got totally gypped. Sorry bro.
