wheeeeeeee!

For the first time in a wee while, I present a new photoshop- in a blend of photoshop stylee with my old style of single panel cartoons. Click the image to biggerize it, should you be so inclined.

Coming Attractions

I have decided to dedicate time into getting the site redesign finished. I'm not sure if it will be a complete overhaul or more of a subtle improvement yet, so I can't say how long it will take. Don't expect many updates in the meantime- although I'll try and do some if it takes a while. At the time of writing, with no series ongoing and having just had to scrap my current project I am not sure what my next animation will be. The world , as they say, is my lobster. See you on the other side.

Triple Trouble

Three new wallpapers are available for the iPod Touch and iPhone format. Click the images to see full size, they can then be synced to your device and set as wallpaper

Looking to the future...

There's something I've been planning on doing for some time, but I've been waiting for the right time to put into action. With MPZ heading towards the end of it's fifth year online I'm going to shake things up a little bit and start putting more focus on comics. Not only the single-panel stuff I've been posting for years but also comic strips and full length stories. Some characters from my animations may appear in them, and some comics may end up later as animations. I'm planning big things. Before anyone worries though I am not going to be stopping doing animations- I'm not even planning on animating less often. It's just that the gaps inbetween will animations will be filled with comicky goodness and other stuff. It may take some time to get into the swing of things but hopefully you'll stick with me- and I hope you'll enjoy the ride!

New comic strip

This is the first comic strip I've produced in quite some time. Click the first panel above to read the whole thing!

Over the Zune

Our video podcast, Monkey Pirate Zombie TV is now a featured podcast on Zune.net (which is basically Microsoft's answer to iTunes). It's featured in the comedy section here. I'm not sure how we ended up on there, but a big thanks to anybody who may have been responsible!

new comic...

... old joke. Another redrawn comic added to the site. Click to see full size. You can also rate or comment on the comic on Drunkduck (you'll need to sign up for free first though)

iPhone/iPod wallpapers

Here's a new addition. If you've got a iPhone or an iPod touch then you can download these exclusive MPZ iPhone wallpapers. They are formatted to fit the iPhone/ touch screen without reformatting. Click to see them full size. You can then save them and transfer them to your portable device.

Lovely linkage

You may have heard of the site DeviantArt that allows users to share their artwork galleries online.  I'm here today to let you know that my good friend Siobhan (who's work has once appeared on this very site) has a gallery there and thoroughly marvelous it is too. You should check it out by clicking right here

Coming Attractions

2010 has started well so far, but I've got big plans for mpz in the coming months! I'm planning on beefing up my comics output and with that in mind MPZ now has a space on Drunkduck, one of the web's top webcomics communities. More info on that is coming soon. A site redesign should also be happening in the near future. A new collaboration with proving ground is in the pipeline too, so watch this space...
