  • Heaven Vs Hell – the outcome!

    Mephisto gives Santo the back of his hand

    El Hijo del Santo & Mistico versus Mephisto and Averno was everything Lucha Libre should be, and more.  Wes Massey has taken some of the best Lucha pics I’ve seen in ages here.

    Santo is amazing.  Mistico hurt his knee, so Santo worked the whole second fall solo.  The clip below shows he’s still got it

    Then Mistico came back to hit his awesome finisher and win the match.  Truly amazing stuff…

  • Heaven Vs Hell


    Saints Vs Sinners, Good Vs Evil…we won’t be missing this one!


  • It’s relentless, I tells ya, relentless!

  • ¡Mucha Lucha! Comic Art

    The awesome Ricardo Garcia Fuentes did the artwork for the DC ¡Mucha Lucha! comic series a few years back.  See his great artwork here!

  • Los Campeones – Flash Storyboards


    Eddie:  I’m doing things a little different than I usually do, by utlilizing Flash to create the storyboards from my initial sketchy thumbnails.  The advantage is that I get to make the storyboards more like mini-layouts, and also get to use existing character models.  It’s a more time consuming process, but I figure it will make for a better animatic, and really make things easier for animators when it comes time for that stage of the production.  Having the Wacom Cintiq has really helped with this; I’d hate to think how frustrated I’d be right now scratching around on my old tablet!


    Below are some random pages from Act I







  • Cartoon Modern is cool! - Lili


    Petroushka production cel by Bill LittleJohn

    Recently, Eddie received Amid Amidi’s Cartoon Modern: Style and Design in 1950′s Animation  as a birthday gift. (No it wasn’t from me… I would have bought this for myself!)

    Neither of us have had time to “read” it yet but so far we think it’s an awesome book. There are so many inspirational images… such a wealth of cool stuff. Congratulations and thanks to Amid for doing this! Everybody, go order a copy now!

    The only problem is that this book makes you wish that all these groovy-looking films were available on DVD. We are looking forward to www.cartoonbrewfilms.com !!!
