I have finally managed to getting round to uploading my TV debut from back In June, so you can see my animation being shown, and my name being mentioned on real life Telly. Overseas viewers- just to avoid any confusion, the fella introducing the clip is not me. He's the presenter of Big Brother's Little Brother- Dermot O'Leary. He's not that annoying, and the ladies seem to like him. Anyway on with the clip. ....the version shown here is edited but the full uncut version is still available (here)

Watch the big moment here!

[Blog Post] This week I found out there's to be an animation festival in my home town. This kind of thing happens all the time if you live in a major city like London or New York but it's not the kind of thing you really expect in my neck of the woods. But while this should be good news, note that I said I found out this week. The catch? The festival is in November- and submissions for entry into competition close this Monday. Nuts!

It's been a good couple of weeks since I finished my last animation, but I just wanted to quicly touch base and let you know I am indeed working on something exciting. But just what that will be you'll just have to wait. In the meantime here's a monkey in a bucket. Enjoy.

The stuff and nonsense page has been updated. I've added a couple of monkeys to the page of many monkeys and I've also added one of my old birthday card designs.

[Blog Post] I can't believe Prison Break is starting it's third series already. How time flies! Of course the third series is coming to the UK much quicker than the earlier series (Sky One are showing it just a week behind the US premier- we had to wait about six months before they were shown on Channel 5) meaning it's not long since the second series finished up over here. But more pointedly I'm quite surprised it's made it to a third series at all. If any show ever lent itself to a one series run this is it.

It's no longer Talk Like A Pirate Day, so the special edition homepage has been replaced with the normal one. If you missed it, the Piratey version is preserved for your enjoyment here.

Yarr! It be that time of year again, when Landlubbers start talking like a pirate. Yarr! As is traditional our homepage be spruced up for the occasion. And I've done a special pic to mark the occasion too- it had to happen eventually. He's a monkey pirate! He not be a zombie though, maybe next year. Sorry, next yarr. See you soon and ... er.. yarr!

[ seriously, I'm not making this up ]

I've been milling it over for a while, but as some of you may have noticed it's been some time since I updated Ministry Of Misinformation. I've been waiting for inspiration to come but it still hasn't and to be honest, I'd rather work on new animations, games and comics, so poor ol' MOM kind of slipped away. So although I'm going to leave it up there, from now on consider it at the least on official extended hiatus if not actually dead. I may return to it one day but for now I'm not planning on updating it anytime soon. By the way- if you're reading this and thinking you have the comedy chops to resurrect it by all means drop me a line.

But now.. the good news. I have opened a brand new section called The Illustration Gallery (or just plain old The Gallery, I'm not sure yet :-p). It's fairly empty at the moment, but why not take a look around? Keep checking the news centre for when I add more!

[Blog Post] If you're in the US and have access to the channel BBC America, then apparently this weekend is your first chance to tune in to ace British sci-fi Torchwood. Knowledge of it's parent show Doctor Who is not essential (although apparently it shows Stateside on the the sci-fi channel, so check it out if you can) although fans of that show will get extra out of it. American mags TV Guide and Variety have given it the thumbs up too. Basically think of a more serious, more sweary version of Men In Black meets Buffy and you'll not be too far off. It's very silly (in a good way) but it can actually do dark and adult surprisingly well too. Which when you consider it's a spin-off of a family orientated show, is all the more remarkable. Consult your local TV guides for airtime and details!

Incidentally for those of us in the UK, coincidentally the show just started a repeat run on BBC3, so if you missed out, now's your chance!

Trailer Trash 6 has been released to the podcast. Download it or subscribe from here.

Because you demanded it... the long awaited return of Trailer Trash. And what better way to bring it back than with a return from an old pal? So without further ado....

A word in your shell, like. Some of you may have noticed the return of the Donation button to the site. I always feel a bit cheeky having one (hence i removed it before!), but the fact is that running a site isn't free (not if you want to have a good one that is!) and my costs are increasing. Add to this that I'm thinking about changing hosts and it all adds up. So if anybody does ever want to help out in a small way, then just a small donation could go towards securing the future of the site and even put me on the way towards my dream of doing this full time! Any donations over £1 will be sent a special piece of mpz artwork via email.

(or if you prefer you can always just buy some of lovely merchandise!)

You what? For some reason I noticed that the link to one of the Happy Bunny episode was missing (I guess I deleted it by mistake) from his page. Seeing as this ep. has never appeared on the podcast ( cos it's interactive!) some of you may never seen Episode 4 at all. So click here to watch it. Episode 8 is now available via his page too. You may also be pleased to know a small new toon is well underway....

See, right down there? The first integrated blog post. I Think it blends in OK,
how about you guys? To read the full article click where it says more. Oh and by the way, if you absolutely feel you must, if you click the 'site news' tag below any site news article, it will hide all the non-site relevant blog posts.

[Blog Post] OK, so it currently looks like the Uk's first dedicated anime channel Anime Central, will be launching on Sky channel 199 from this coming Thursday ( September13th) from 9pm. To begin with it appears the same six shows will be showing each night showing in 3 hour blocks which will then be repeated (so the same episodes will be shown between 9-12, 12-3 and 3-6am). Of the initial crop I can recommend Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (an awesome sci-fi, even if I have no idea what's going on half the time) and Full Metal Alchemist, but the other shows should all be worth a look too!

So this is the new look news centre- I'm still finalising some details but what do you think? The name change is not merely cosmetic though (from simply site news to the much grander news centre) because this page will (in addition to the latest site news) also now let you know when I update the blog, or podcast or comics section. So no more will you need to do a quick tour of the site to see what's new. It seems like a good idea to me but let me know what you think, via email, the chatbox, the comments section or the forum!

This here page is undergoing a new lick of paint, so please excuse me while I fiddle with the design. I'll fill you in when its' finished. See you on the other side....

I have made a new version of my game Zombie Racing and you can play it right now! Anyone who played the old one will be pleased to know this time it works a lot better- the course is more than one screen long and the speed of the computer opponents is now randomised so it's actually now a bit of a challenge and different each time you play. Grab a Friend and you can play it two player too!

Watch this space for any minor tweaks or improvements I make...

EDIT: Now features music- a special remix of the mpz theme tune by The Protector, no less!
