    Remember Malcolm Venville‘s glorious photo protraits of luchadores? He had an exhibition in Venice last year which we didn’t make it to, so HOORAY for the book release! It’s kinda pricey at $80, but looks amazing. Website: www.luchaloco.com



    Sunday night: It’s either THIS (thanks, Keith) or The Cramps @ the Sunset Junction Street Fair? Bad timing :(

    Continuing the Lucha Libre theme, here’s a sketch from the Los Campeones storyboard

  • Meeting Kookie

    Today was the voice recording session for our “Here’s Jimmy” pilot cartoon, and we were graced with the presence of none other than Mr. Edd Kookie Byrnes (voicing himself) at North Hollywood Sound studio. Edd was so cool. It was a pleasure.

    Might I add that this was also  Fwak Animation‘s first ever voice recording session in L.A. (operating as Fwak! Animation Inc. USA) It was a blast, and many thanks to everyone who contributed their vocal talents!

    *UPDATE* Edd mentioned that he has also appeared in “77 Sunset Strip” comic books. Here are some images found on the web, via this flickr set.

    Los Campeones Update


    This Thursday 17th., we will be holding the first round of voice actor auditions for Los Campeones. It will be an intense day as there are many parts in this show. Well, it’s our biggest production yet. Exciting and scary at the same time.

    Things have been progressing well, with the script completed, a big chunk of characters designed, background design progressing, and storyboards well underway.  More soon…

    Mucha Lucha especial!

    Thanks, Jesse Justice!  This is awesome!


    Jazzy dog


    I always think it’s kinda corny when people blog about and share photos of their pets.  So I’ll only do this once. Meet Jazzy, the 12 year old Boston terrier that I am fostering this week, on behalf of  BostonBuddies.org (Boston terrier rescue group) She may be old and fat but she is really supersweet and I did the really corny thing of setting her up with a Myspace page. I hope I won’t get too attached and that she will be adopted into a nice new home.     - Lili

  • ChicanomagIssue-1-index

    Chican@ Art Magazine is cool. The premiere issue has an awesome cover by the amazing Jaime Germs Zacarias, and a Nacho Libre review by Keith Rainville (which you can read here). Like everybody else these days, they also have a myspace page.  

    On a different topic; ever noticed how Mel Gibson is referred to as being ‘Australian’ whenever he screws up?  He may have studied in Australia, but America, he’s all yours…
