JAMMIN' INTO THE NEW YEAR!!!

And we're back!  Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas and aren't too sad it's all over.  I'm actually kinda happy the Holidays are passing.  Two-and-a-half months of nonstop Christmas programming can be a lot sometimes!  I'm also happy to see 2013 end.  This wasn't a very good year for me on a personal level.  Many trials I'm afraid.

Creatively speaking, however, 2013 had many things for me to be proud of at least.  I put out some very funny comics, made many new friends, launched a new book and did fairly well at two of the three Cons I exhibited at.  Life's all about silver linings folks.  Gotta take the good with the bad.  I'm alive, still making comics and having fun while doing it.  Can't ask for more than that.

There's much to look forward to in 2014.  More hilarity from Mike And Mindy and Mushrooms are on the horizon and Bubble Fox will officially launch in the coming month!  And let's not forget, the animation Kickstarter with Kim Belding of Picpak Dog!  I know we've talked about it on our sites numerous times, but I promise it's gonna happen.  Just gotta catch up with real life first is all.

A rather large announcement is also coming towards the end of January.  This one's not gonna be easy to make but is a necessary one.  But more on that when the time comes.  2014 is shaping up to be a busy year already.  Hope y'all are ready for the ride!

But enough on 2014 for now.  Let's send 2013 off on a good note.  It's time to Jam... ART JAM that is! I took part in a few of art collaborations this year, and here are the results!  Enjoy...  

 First up, this piece for Jackie Williams' Festival Of Robots Art Jam!  Had a lot of fun with this piece featuring two robots relizing they exist.  It was only the second time I've ever drawn robots!  Thanks again Jackie for giving me such a fun opportunity!

 Next up, another piece for Jackie, this time for the Trick And Treats Art Jam!  I can't give away too much on this one other than it features a character from a story I'm doing that is literally YEARS away from being seen!  So stay "Tooned!"

Last up, we have "Cactuar" from Edgar Recinos' Final Fantasy Art Jam!  Really loved doing this goofy character.  Given my CCE history, guess it was a given I'd pick this one!

Well folks, that's all for now.  I'll be back next time with a new Mike And Mindy that's "Bursting" with excitement for the new year!  Until then, take care, have a fun and safe New Year's Eve and I'll see y'all in 2014!

GUEST ART FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

One more week to Christmas!  I got my CRAZY Christmas Tree up and decorated and am just about done getting all my CRAZY Christmas gifts bought!  Yes sir, it's gonna be one CRAZY Christmas if you haven't caught on yet!

In keeping with the Holiday Spirit, I thought I'd share some awesome Fan Art I received recently from some amazing Twitter pals!  Enjoy... 

 First up, this great sketch of Mike from my good pal Daniel Barton of the always hilarious Goober And Cindy!  Love how Mike retains his gigantic eyes!  Thanks again Danny boy!  May Holland fair well next Summer!

Next up, this beautiful piece from Elora Lyda, who gave Mike and Mindy such a feisty but cute look!  If you've never checked out her artwork before, do yourself a favor and click the link!  Your life will be richer for it!

Well folks, that's all for now.  I'll be back next time with some fun stuff to help combat post-holiday depression!  And speaking of holidays, remember that there's still time to make a difference this Christmas!  Donate food, clothes or toys.  Give money to the poor.  Deliver holiday meals.  There are MANY ways to help!  Don't be a Scrooge this holiday!  Take care, have a very Merry Christmas and I'll catch y'all next time!

ONE CRAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!

Welcome back!  Christmas comes ever closer, and the gift shopping is getting even more frenetic!  But I made it out alive, and what better way to celebrate than with a new comic!

The Christmas season chugs on here at the CRAZYVERSE, as the Mushrooms gang heads far north to search the Holiday spirit!  Santa's in the mood too... Just make sure to have a gas mask handy...

Holy smokes!  Santa dropped a Yule Log in the porcelain punch bowl!  Perhaps this year I'll leave some Pepto and Tums out for the Jolly Old Elf! 

Well folks, that's it for this time.  Frankly, I'll be lucky if ALL I get is coal in my stocking after that comic!  I'll be back next time with some awesome fan art I've received recently!  Until then, take care and remember to help others this holiday season.  Catch y'all later! 

IT"S CRAZY CHRISTMAS TIME!!!

 As Slade once said sang: "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!!"

Yup!  The merriest month of the year has arrived!  So let's skip ahead to the festivities shall we?  Mike and Mindy are out looking for the CRAZY Christmas Tree, and think they may have found a winner! Time to head on down to the lot...

 Wow!  Talk about a harrowing experience.  Next time they probably shouldn't shop at an Ent lot!  Cheer up kids, I hear they still do a gift exchange in prison!

And now, a late entry from last week's Crazy Cartoon Experiment Rewind, this one from Christina Wald, http://christinawald.blogspot.com/!

Loved the inspiration for this piece!  Christina had mentioned being heavily influenced by The Great Gatsby, and for that I'm thankful!  She delivered a truly wonderful entry!  Thanks again Christina!

Well folks, that's all for this week.  We'll be back next time with a new Mushrooms that will certainly land a lump of coal in my stocking!  And remember folks, we're at a time of year when people are going without, so please think of others.  Donate to charities and food banks.  Give to toy drives.  Drop a dollar in the Salvation Army bucket.  Every little bit helps.  Take care, and I'll catch y'all later!
