Hey Everyone,
Thought I’d do a little recap of our last stop on the European tour!
Our bus got to Frankfurt late in the evening. So we just looked for something to eat by the hotel and found a place across the street that had giant bowls of rice!
The next morning we went to set up at Mousonturm, a theatre arts space in Frankfurt.

Hello Everyone!
Just a little recap from our time on tour in Denmark! We had 2 performances here. The Storyville Mosquito would be the Opening Gala Event of the Aarhus Festival. When the tour bus arrived it was past 10 pm so a few of us just walked around some of the town looking for a grocery store or somewhere we could eat. Everything was kind of closed but I could tell it was a beautiful walking town!

Hey Everyone!
We finished our two shows at Gothenburg's Grand Theater (Stora Teatern). Which very much looked like a life size version of the Muppet Show Theater in all the best ways!
We left Hamburg and took a bus to Denmark to a ferry terminal, where we would board this boat to cross the Baltic Sea.
The ferry ride was about 4 hours. After exploring all ther...

Hey Everyone!
Just thought I'd share some photos and do a little recap of the first week of the tour!
Here's something i saw at the Amsterdam airport. It is a vending machine called a Health Food Wall which had salads and wraps in it.
A tour bus was picking us up to take us to Hamburg.

I have some meetings with our digital distributor this week and we'll be finalizing the roll out schedule of the EPs and Album (still waiting for print proofs and test pressings from the 2LP).

Just a heads up! I’m actually on a trip with the family to the mountains to attend a family wedding. Also, I get to see my parents for the first time since 2019!

Hey Everyone!
Greetings from the pre-production phase of the Space Cadet animated feature film! I’ve been in the workshop all week with Lillian (Head of Story) and Corinne (Art Director). We’ve been going through the script together each day and Lillian has been drawing storyboards for each scene/shot. Corinne has been drafting up floor plans for the various rooms, buildings and spaceships that will appear in the film. Meanwhile, I’ve been designing robots and and doing some conce...

Hey Everyone!
It's finally complete! A cardboard mixing console that will be used in a future video and photo shoot for Creatures of the Late Afternoon.
At first it was just going to be a prop that would sit in the background of the scene. But as soon as I built the frame for it, I thought it would be fun to make it move or animate somehow. I proceeded to make the EQ knobs for each channel that would be able to turn.

Just a quick photo drop from our trip to Annecy Festival where we premiered the new song and stop motion video for Things Are Gonna Change. I went there for 3 days with Lillian Chan (production designer of the forthcoming Space Cadet feature) and Lealani (who’s featured on vocals on the track). Our friends from SeeCreature Animation (who animated the new video) were also there. It was so great to meet up with them in this beautiful town. Lealani and I also played at the ...

Hope this message finds you all well. We are in the workshop finalizing some (additional) art assets for the Creatures board game. Here is a work in progress Quick Reference card that we decided to include with the cards. I’ve been testing the game with some friends and have found the “polite round of applause” is an oddly satisfying and interesting feature in game. Lol. Can’t wait for you to play it with your friends and families someday!
Thank You for your ...

Hi Everyone!
It's always fun to dig through an old sketchbook to see what kind of silliness is in there. I found a book from the early 2000s. This was shortly after Nufonia Must Fall was released, when I began to start filling many sketchbooks with characters to see if any would catch my attention and spawn a new story.
In the image above you can see an early iteration of an artichoke character that would eventually become Artie Chaux "The Clarinet King" in The ...
