Hero BLOB XI recorded and BLOB 6 online!!!

Dear chicos and chicas,

Today, over a period of about 4.5 hours, Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion was recorded by an extremely talented team of voice actors and one awesome radio producer, Jonny Brick.

In celebration of that achievement and of the upcoming release (probably Friday night) of this most BLOBBY of shows, I've uploaded onto youtube today BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite, the most accomplished and impressive of the film versions of BLOB!!!

Starring Nicolas Nadeau and Schedel Luitjen, along with an impressive cast of supporting characters, this BLOB movie will knock your socks off, featuring the final battle between BLOB and Hag Lady Bobo, along with the introduction of fan favorite 'The Red Head' (as seen in The Hero BLOB Christmas Special: BLOB's Magical Christmas). At an hour long, it's perfect to watch all the way through or to watch in several parts, or to watch OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY, whatever you choose. ENJOY!!!

BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite

Super Cloudman and update on Hero BLOB XI!

Dear ones,

I've had a bit of an idea/epiphany, and it concerns Cloudman. As many of you will know, Cloudman is one of my favorite and one of my first superhero creations.

Now, I've come up with a symbol and a new name for him, about which I'm eager to hear your feedback!

I'd like to call the fellow the Super Cloudman, or just Super Cloudman. I think there's something in this name that works, and something about the symbol that has a bit more recognizability than the original lightning-bolt C.

Here's a pic of the new design (click on it for a larger version). Tell me what you think! Email heroblob@gmail.com or just leave a comment here! I think it's a good change, but tell me what you think.

Also, don't forget to think pleasant Hero BLOB related thoughts tomorrow! The wonderful Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion will be recorded by a full cast tomorrow afternoon (GMT)!!! And there's been a last-minute cast addition, the talented Guillermo Martinez de Velasco, who is replacing the Mystery Guest whose name you will never get to know! Guillermo is visiting Scotland from his home in Mexico and his various other study locations around the world, and I'm thrilled to have his radio-ready (and experienced) voice added to the show!

And don't forget that you can listen to my reading of Killer Brother: Target Genesis at the link provided below, on the last post. An exciting week for my readers!

And, in celebration of the completion of the BLOB XI recording, I'll be (God willing) releasing BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite online tomorrow, which has never before been available for online viewing! It's a great one, and probably the best of the Hero BLOB film series, so watch and enjoy!

KILLER BROTHER online! Plus an interview with SCHEDEL LUITJEN !!!

Dear everybody,

You can find an interview of me by Jonny Brick here, where I discuss Killer Brother and the upcoming Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion !!!!

Thanks,

Schedel

OHHHH MYYYYY BLOB

Dear BLOBites,

Today was a day of much voice work!! Thanks to the ever-reliable Jonny Brick, producer extraordinaire, I today recorded a reading of Killer Brother: Target Genesis, along with TWO different versions of a trailer for it (available soon online) and an interview!

After that, I made the first version of the trailer for the upcoming Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion! And an interview with BLOB and me, Schedel, all about HBXI. It was a wonderful, exhausting, voice-filled day!

So here's the low-down on your soon-to-be favorite radio-plays:

THIS FRIDAY, Killer Brother: Target Genesis will be released, and can be accessed in the evening (GMT) or the early afternoon (Central Standard Time). That's THIS FRIDAY, July 29th! It will be accessible on blastocyst, and there will be an update with a link here on the HeroBlog! Also, check out the (tiny) Killer Brother website!

NEXT WEDNESDAY, I'll be recording Hero BLOB XI, along with my talented voice cast, including Martha McGill, Brett Heasman, and a Special Secret Guest! It will go online some time after, and you can be sure that I'll have a link for it here.

It's an exciting time to like my work, and an exciting time to love BLOB! So listen, enjoy, and have fun!!!!

CIAO,

Killer Brother and Hero BLOB XI Performances!!

Dear Students of the oft-lauded School of BLOB,

I am happy to announce a couple of upcoming projects that will be soon available on the web for your perusal and ENJOYMENT!!

Firstly, this Wednesday, I am going to record a reading of the newly re-edited and improved 'Killer Brother: Target Genesis' in six parts. This will be your first chance to experience this previously-unreleased work, one of my favorite ideas I've ever written!

Thrill along with Brother Matthew Beati, former hitman and current monk, as he travels back near to the beginning of time, to stop the Fall from ever occurring!! It will be a dramatic reading in 6 parts, available soon on www.blastocyst.org.uk !!!

Next, there will be the first-ever performance of Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion, in its radio-play format! It will be recorded on August 3 (in the midst of the ever-famous Edinburgh Festival), with a cast that so far includes me and the talents of Brett Heasman (Vampire Blob in Vampire Blob: Silent Fangs of Horror (2008)) and Martha McGill (whose unforgettable performance as Tuna Head lit up the stage in 2008's Hero BLOB IX: Wrath of the Tuna Queen)!!! Hero BLOB XI is sure to be a corker, and is my favorite of the BLOB series that I've written (mind you, the first six were never actually written and were simply improvised in the badly-missed methods employed by Nicolas Nadeau and me back in the heyday).

In Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion, BLOB travels to the city of Blobton in Kentucky, encountering friends and foes alike as he discovers the secrets of his past and forges his way into a love for the future. Featuring Chilipepperman, too!!

So that's the big news for the day, and it's all thanks to the patronly kindness of Jonny Brick, proprietor of the blastocyst website (check it out on www.blastocyst.org.uk)!!! The website has previously hosted a large amount of my BLOB-world-related poetry (available in the poesy section of his website), the Hero BLOB Christmas Special: BLOB's Magical Christmas, and an interview with me on various subjects! CHECK IT OUT NOWWWW!!!!

I'll update you on when you can expect to hear these beautiful stories performed online, my friends. Until then,

ever yours,

Schedel

Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion RADIO VERSION

Dear Friends,

I today completed editing BLOB 11 for performance as an internet radio show! I really do like this one, as, like most of the BLOB adventures, it's a real departure from run-of-the-mill BLOB adventures! BLOB sort of seeks to sort of rejoin his sort of family and sort of gets a new girlfriend (BLOBETTE), with some sort of help from CHILIPEPPERMAN!!! This is the first official completed work of BLOBness to feature CHILIPEPPERMAN, an old villain-turned-hero from CLOUDMAN comics, although he will appear in continuity before this, in BLOB 7D: Rise of the Jive Turkeys!

This is all part of my ongoing new evil plot for the BLOB universe, driven by the new secret project that I am not going to tell you about yet!!

Meanwhile, I take the notebook for 'The Innocence' around with me everywhere, though I haven't written anything new in it for days (except the chapter plan for my dissertation about Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola's STRIX). OH WELL. WILL DO SOON.

So hopefully, you'll get to hear the radio version of HBXI:BFR pretty soon, and it will hopefully feature my usual fantastic array of voice talents, if they haven't all decided to abandon me since it's been months since a new radio play has been performed!

CIAO,

Schedel

ROLLING DOWN A HILL

DEAR FRIENDS,

Today, I rolled down a hill. A big hill, under the Edinburgh Castle. I just really felt like it.

Enjoy.

SCHEDEL ROLLS DOWN HILL

Also, I adapted half of Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion into a radio-play format. That's some work done, at least.
