EVERYONE'S BUSY!!

Sorry for the lack of posts folks. We're just super swamped over here. It's not like we have a huge fanbase or anything, but I know we have a few regular visitors.

Fatkat is busy as ever on our flagship production "3 Delivery" with Animation Collective. We've in the post stages of the first of 26 episodes, just had a showing of the post test actually and it's looking sweet. Unlike the flashy shows that we've produced in the past, this show is going to wipe the mouths of most flash shows on TV. It's one of the best things ever to come out of this studio, hell it's arguably the best show to come out of this studio when it comes to quality animation. A big shout out to the crew for that and the directors, producers and executives whom are keeping it all together.

Nice job fellahs!

More stuff soon!

FATKAT XMAS PARTY | PART 1

This years Christmas party was our biggest ever! The kids portion of the event had over 30 kids knock down our door to hit up the big blue kat for some holiday goodies.

Bartholomew being quite a pool shooter challenged the kids to $50 a ball but with no takers.

So on to the gifties! Yummy stuff was handed out to all of the kids. We're hoping they'd be so happy that they'd grow up a little quicker than planned so that they can help us with our quota!

Speaking of growing up too quick, it seems my boy is getting some bad influence!

More pichs shoon.

Snoogins,

PS: Thanks to Lauren Grieman for the skinny.

ANIMATION DESIGN EXHIBITION

A bunch of Fatkat designers got together with the local Bistro to exhibit some of their recent art stuffs. Dan Helle, Justin Coffee, Patrick Dorian and Mick Harrison all contributed to the thick odour of assorted wines and stinky cheeses for your chemises.

This one is better looked at from the side.

My personal favorite!Lovely stuff, notice Montgomery Moth's album cover! yum!

Your mum must think she raised you wrong.

Rockstar Justin Coffee shows off some of his beauties, he has a new book showcasing his work coming out through Alberto Ruiz. Keep an eye out for it.

Fatkat Michelle Legendre did alot of the water colours for Coffee's art, great job!



Captain of Industry Mick Harrison did up some new stuff and grabbed some old jpegs from 1987 to showcase in the art show. From what I hear he made close to $3,900 + a throughly rummaged garbage bin. A good take home after all.


This one looks best on it's side. See, can you see it!?



Dan Helle chimed in with some of his recent girly works. Neato style!

Here's a neat one.


BOOBIES!

This one is for all the grandmas out there.

Yum, lets do it again next year!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Mernin Kats and Kittens!

Happy Halloween!

This year I was really hoping someone was going to take up the task to create an original Fatkat pumpkin and that someone was Tomoko Koyama!

She created such a beautiful pumpkin for us to share with everyone in our front lobby.

Thank you so much Tomoko!


I'm so sorry I wasn't able tog et a better picture to showcase what a beautiful pumpkin, maybe I'll upload one later this morning! :)
