JOHNNY RAMONE ARMY Animation

2008-06-20T15:26:00.000-04:00

"The JRA gets a cutting edge toon-up with some fantastic new Johnny Ramone cartoon art & animation by illustrator/animator Sam Fout! Sam (who’s credits include Cartoon Network, Lucasfilm, SNL and Disney among others) was approached by JRA’s own John Cafiero with concepts for tooned up imagery of the legendary Johnny Ramone! This resulted in a number of great new designs and quickly evolved a step further into a short Animated by Sam Fout of Moon Toad Productions and Todd Cronin of Brainchild Animation. The animated spot, Produced by John Cafiero (of Osaka Popstar) with Johnny’s wife, Linda Ramone herself serving as Executive Producer, can be viewed free of charge right now at JohnnyRamone.com!"

Holy cats! check out this full page from the 100th issue of the Star Wars Insider official fan club magazine!

It announces the release of my new SW piece "Vader's Angels"; but it also showcases the previous 2 pieces and has a really nice write-up on yours truly.

Being the huge Star Wars nerd that I am, to have pix in the Insider for the 100th issue is really an honor. Once again, my deepest thanks to Chris Jackson and all of the amazing people at Acme Archives (to whom I probably owe a kidney by now...).

"Vader's Angels" is now available directly from Acme Archives with free shipping.

#1 on your Concert Tickets!

2008-02-03T14:13:00.000-05:00

Buy concert tix for your favorite bands this Spring and Summer through Ducat King!

They generally have a lower service charge than Ticketmaster, and you can get exclusive tickets earlier.

But the best part is that you get collectible artwork on the back of their tix, instead of some lame Subway coupon or some such.

The current artist for the Fall and Winter is the amazing Luke Chueh. I'll post again when the ones w/ your favorite menacing duckling go live.

TONS of stuff coming up; stay tuned. For now, if you're in NY, check out the MONEYGRIP show at MPH's gallery. I'll post pics of my piece in a bit.

ToyQube will release 100 white blanks of each shape - with artists on hand to customize these babies including Andrew Bell, Keith Poon, Klim Kozinevich, Dacosta Bayley, Sam Fout, Steven Daily, and Jesse Hernandez . From the early sculpt photos and designs, this is shaping up to be one of the stronger mini-figure platform introductions in quite a while.

Here's a press release for the Project Bart show celebrating the release of the Simpsons movie!

My nekkid abominable snow baby Bart is second from right... Something like 50 artists, including Groening himself.

The show's in Paris now I think, but will be in San Diego next week for the Con!

Hi guys, Sam here.

I just completed an interpretive Star Wars print comissioned for Lucasfilm from Acme Archives (the fine art licensee for Lucasfilm, Disney, Fox and Cartoon Network).

It debuts at Star Wars Celebration IV this weekend in LA at the Acme Archives booth. Titled "Mos Eisley Wiseguys", it's limited to 350 pieces at $95 ($225 framed).

Look for it on AcmeArchivesDirect.com after the show. Huge thanks to Chris Jackson at Acme for making this all possible. Thanks Chris!!!!

Hopefully this will be the first of a series of Star Wars prints; I've already started working on the next one (think: slimy piece of worm-ridden filth).

More soon kids! Thanks!!
