Spaceships! Also, the buildings in the far background that look a little like hamster habitats are fun to make up.

My favorite part about drawing backgrounds for this episode was hiding a drawing of my car with a portly bikini girl on the hood in the middle of the drug trip scene!

The carvings on the temple walls of the Combaticus episode are some of the most fun drawings from my time working on Superjail.

I drew backgrounds for the pilot and first season of Superjail. I especially liked hiding junk on the walls of the bar for “Superbar.”

The Upstate Four is a pilot that I created for Cartoon Network with my brother Fran Krause.  We were involved in all aspects of the project from writing, design and storyboarding to color, animation, and sound.

We made the cartoon in New York, and managed to finish the project without outsourcing any of the animation. Hooray!

Here’s a link to a Cartoon Brew article about the process of making this cartoon:

Cartoon Brew – The Upstate Four

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.

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.

In 2006, I put a pitch together about some kids who wandered off into the woods and went feral.

I made this cartoon with my brother Fran Krause over the course of a weekend. It won an award at the ASIFA animation festival for the sound.

After persistently asking the festival director for several years, he finally agreed to let me make a signal film for the Ottawa International Animation Festival. I wrote, directed, and designed the piece, as well as making the soundtrack. I was helped out by a whole bunch of friendly volunteer animators: Fran Krause, Max Porter, Sean McBride, Mike Overbeck, Aaron Zisman, Linda Beck, Erin Kilkenny, Julia Sarcone-Roach, Chris Siemasko and Andy Kennedy.
