I just had a wacky idea, maybe completely unpopular or uncommercial. But, if you'… Continue

A few of you got hold of me about inappropriate behavior from a couple of "female" "members" who were probably not female or actual members at all. Specifically, AshlanBattle & GenevieveWilkins. They have been banned. Always, always, let me know about such things right away, and they will be taken care of. We've set up this network for you… Continue

Frederator Studios super-intern (officially dubbed by Dan Meth) Avi Tuchman has been on me to let him make a videogame for us since he first walked in the door last year. Now he's gone and done it for this week's hit on The Meth Mi… Continue

Please post your art.

Someone jokingly asked me about the numbers of pictures I've been posting. He's right and I wanted to explain a little, so I'm reprinting what I wrote him:

Up until recently, I was wary of posting too many pix and was putting them on my Flickr page… Continue

Thanks Laika.

I went visting my friend Alan Keith at Laika (the former WIll Vinton Studio) in Portland yesterday, and he really rolled out the red carpet. Including an hour where some of the staff gathered to talk with me about what we're up to at the Frederators. It… Continue

Really excited.

"Internet People" was cool enough --over 4,000,000 internet people already think so-- but the coolest is yet to come. Dan launches the weekly epsiodes of… Continue

The Meth Minute 39 launches on Thursday.

Dan Meth is a solo animator that's worked with us for over a year, primarily creating commercials. But last February he started his own shorts series, working off the structure we've employed successfully over the past 15 ye… Continue

It's easy.

Someone rightly pointed out they'd post pictures to RAW but they're already posting in too many places and I found myself agreeing. As I was whining to a colleague about it he let me know there's an easy way for Channel Frederator RAW to automatically post from other photo sharing sites you use.

How easy?… Continue

Your art here!

I wanted to take a minute and remind you all of a couple of things.

One is that we love seeing your artwork; it's exciting to see all the interesting stylists out there, and to start conversations about expression, technique, or technolog.Even if you're not an artist, you might have some interesting photograp… Continue

Art & video!

I've thought for quite a while that setting up Channel Frederator RAW would be a great opportunity for a lot of the artists who read our blog to meet each other and introduce their art and videos to others in our community. We haven't 'officially' invited people to join yet (just word of mouth and a couple of banners on our sites), but we're starting to put stuff up ourselves.… Continue
