One November Spawned A Monster...

Inspired in part by my former NNN colleague, Justin Johnson, I've decided to follow his model for New in November, in which he and other vidmakers create a vid-film-thing every day in November.

Except in my version, it's a new comic every day in November!

This is the first installment: Haunted Homeys!

We'll see how it goes. Wish me luck!

Passin' Time w/ Brian Posehn

2009-11-02T02:03:00.001-08:00

Last Friday Oct.30th, Cristina & I wanted some laughs, and we found them right near our home in the Valley at the Madrid Theatre in Canoga Park for a night of Brian Posehn Stand Uppery!

It was hilarious!

The evening was hosted by the very funny comedian (and former roomie of Brian P's) Ngaio Bealum. The 2nd comedian of the evening, Tony Dijamco, was pretty funny too.

I'm a big fan of Brian's work in Animation, Video games, TV, Film, and especially his work in comics! I've always thought it would be cool to collab on something with him, so I brought along a piece of art... you know, just in case I had the chance to meet him.

And I totally got to meet him (and his halo)!

It was AWESOME. He's pretty approachable, and a very down to earth cat. None of that Hollywood B.S.

This is a copy of the drawing (sans the text) I gave to Brian of him as a Stoner, Gaming Yeti. (just in time for Halloween.) AND HE LOVED IT! Drop dead, hands down, flipped out with a big ass grin!!! He said, "This is AWESOME!" and then asked for my contact info.

Sly fox that I am, naturally, I had my biz card and promotional postcard already clipped to the back!

He loved himself as a yeti and seeing his eyes, big ass grin, and excitedness on his face left me with a totally bad ass good feeling the rest of the nite (and weekend).

This was the original design for “Mel”, a stoner, gaming Yeti in my pal Whit Hertford’s cartoon idea called Life After Myth, which is you guessed it, about Myths, monsters & legendary creatures and what happens when the rest of the world doesn’t care about them anymore.

It’s a hilarious idea, and I had a blast developing Myth w/ Whit. Check out the rest of the designs HERE!

Hopefully, Brian will get in contact w/ me... it would be THE COOLEST to collab with him on a cartoon or comic project sometime in the future!!!

That would be awesome.

Best nite before Halloween EVER!!!

Kinda Cutesy, but don't f*ck w/ him cause he'll claw the sh*t outta yr eyes!
I got the word yesterday that my Hello Harvey Head went live on the Pekar Project site last nite, and now I can share it w/ you guys and gals! I couldn't be more excited!!!

Good Ol' Gambit

2009-10-08T21:54:00.001-07:00

Well, gang...

drove 5 hours from vegas to cali, only to discover that our 16 year old family dog, Gambit, is pretty sick. We took him into the emergency vet at 5am, followed by a regular (and cheaper) vet around 9am. They did bloodwork, clipped his nails, and he looked very handsome. we were hopeful that it was just surgery they were gonna have to do on his teeth, and we started him on antibiotics.

I passed out when I got home that day, and didn't wake up for awhile, even though I had a bunch of work to do for my meeting w/ Fred Seibert at Frederator/Nickelodeon the next day.

I got a call early this morning at 9am from the Vet who had reviewed the bloodwork, and it turns out Gambit is doing worse than we thought. His kidneys are failing him. The doc started to explain about how they could transfuse his blood, and how much, it costs, but my hearing kinda started fading, and I looked down to Gambit, who was looking at me bright eyed. Luckily, my brother was listening too as I had the vet on speakerphone.

My family all agreed that we don't want Gambit to feel anymore pain, and that we should celebrate his long, happy life we all shared with him, and were lucky enough to share with him.

He is a real good guy.

I remember when we first got him, we were living in a townhome, and we had bought a basket for him to sleep in. At the time I didn't want to share my room w/ my brother, so I slept in the living room on the couch with his basket near me. This little dude would whimper at me, and I would take him and he would curl up on my chest, our hearts beating together.

We will probably be putting him to sleep in the next few days. I had a great meeting with Fred, despite the situation w/ Gambit.

He is my brother's best friend, I know he will miss him most out of all of us. This is a hard choice to make, without feeling like a bad guy.But we all know he will be in a better place, free of pain.

There's a phrase that's been bouncing around my head during all this over and over: "This Too Shall Pass."

I sure am gonna miss my little buddy Gambit.

Leave Yesterday Behind.

2007-12-30T00:08:00.000-08:00

Wow.

Seems like yesterday, I just opened up blog shop here. 3 years. Time is a strange and funny thing.
This is my last post, and I have a small case of writer's block. For once, I don't know what to say.

I can say thank you.

I've met some incredible, awesome, talented, extraordinary, amazing people along the way thru All My Heroes. Hell, this little blog that could got me to where I am today, and where I will be headed next, towards the ever shining future.

This little blog got me one of the best jobs I've EVER had the pleasure of having. Work is now not a chore to me, and I now know that work can be a fun and rewarding thing. Thank you Fred, Eric, Dan, Carrie, the rest of Frederator and Next New Networks.

I feel nervous and excited to close the chapter of this book. You know the nervousness and anticipation one feels regarding their literary hero, like Harry Potter, Superman, or Tom Sawyer, and what adventures they'll go thru next? I feel kinda like that.
I want to see what happens next, butterflies in my tummy and all.

I can only hope all of you out there feel the same way.
By all means, please feel free to poke your heads in and check out the new pad. We still got a little dust as Cristina and I are in the midst of constructing it, but we'd love your thoughts.
http://www.doubled8.blogspot.com
Also, I'll be transferring all your links over to Doubled8 as well. Feel free to do the same.
It's been a blast friends.

You are ALL MY HEROES.
Sincerely,
Jeaux Janovsky

My cohort in crime, Cristina, and I have been working hard to revamp our Art collective site, The DoubleDateCollective. As this video DOES NOT attest to.

You'll find links to a whole bunch of things, like merch stores, tumblr pages, youtube pages, press, etc. to make you happy in that area of your brain that responds to Cute.

As for the lame ass Jam, let me apologize...
I was bored, poor, and hungry for a tuna fish sandwich.

We have big plans stored for 2008.

Escape to Pulp Secret Island!

2007-10-15T11:52:00.000-07:00

I recently made a mini-comic for the my peeps at Pulp Secret, NNN's very own Comic Book Channel featuring The Stack team and Casey and Rudy of A Comic Book Orange.
(Scott and I will be sending you a stack of copies soon Casey and Rudy, so please be on the lookout. It would also be totally rad of you guys to review & feature the mini as a joke on A CBO!!!) :)
I think it turned out really cool, and is some of my best comic work to date.
(not to toot my own horn or anything.)

The mini is featured at the tail end of the Stack episode and the guys give me a shoutout and sneak peek a page.
There will be a link on the site, along with a downloadable PDF file of Escape to Pulp Secret Island for you to print out and fold in the comfort of your own home.

Go to: www.pulpsecret.coml and look under the word balloon for the linkie link.

Tim Shey, one of our founders at N3, debuted the mini comic at this year's SPX in Washington, and hopefully handed it out to a slew of cool comix fans. If you're one of the lucky few, come by All My Heroes, and say hi.
Enjoy the mini guys!
Totally Free,
-JX!
