Superjail – Don’t be a Negaton
Refrencing Peter Max and Miyazaki in one episode? Hooray!
Superjail – Ladies Night
Spaceships! Also, the buildings in the far background that look a little like hamster habitats are fun to make up.
Superjail – Dream Machine

Black Sabbath
Christy Karacas organized a few albums worth of animation to go with Black Sabbath’s first three releases. For mine, I rotoscoped an old Muppet commercial for LaChoy noodles with a new set of characters.
Superjail – Pilot Episode
My favorite part of working on the pilot for Superjail was when Christy took my suggestion that the dead monkey should have broken glass stuck in it after bouncing off a table-full of broken glass.
The Feral Kids
In 2006, I put a pitch together about some kids who wandered off into the woods and went feral.

Utica Cartoon
Utica Cartoon was my first professional animation project, and possibly my last chance to produce a traditionally-animated cartoon for television. Fran and I left New York City (where we were living in a basement) to…
