Hero BLOB Christmas Special 1

Hey, everybody,

   Sorry about the sporadic posting, but good news now!  I've finished the script for 'The Hero BLOB Christmas Special: BLOB's Magical Christmas', a short, Christmas-related thing I've been thinking of writing for three years.  There exists some footage for it in movie form, but Nick and I are too busy with other projects in the winter times to finish it, so the new script is entirely made for radio!!  Hopefully, I'll record it soon and have it ready before the actual Christmas time! 

The play itself revolves around BLOB's quest to find out what the true meaning of Christmas truly is, and it features the most spectacular battle ever: SANTA vs. SATAN.  Who will win?  Find out soon!!!

Hero BLOB IX: Wrath of the Tuna Queen Online!!

Hey, everybody!  Interestingly, I've run into almost every cast member of the hit play, 'Hero BLOB IX: Wrath of the Tuna Queen' in the last two days, including Samuel J. Taunton ( who played doctor Doctor Von Blimpo in the play, and whom you may know as the voice of Vampire Blob in 'Taste the Blood of Vampire Blob!'), Ruth Appleby (Precious Jim, Mayor Stephen Kettle, Mad Flamethrower Person, Lucy the Paramedic Lady from the Streets of Havana), Martha McGill (Tuna Head, Die-Cotyledon), and Kate Roberts (the Red-Head), and, of course, myself, Schedel Luitjen (BLOB, Narrator, Joe Gooblegop, Rick McStanmyer).  So I thought, 'why not put that play on the internet?'  So I am doing that now.  It's in terrible quality, which I'm trying to fix, but for now, here it is in all its grainy quality!

Please note that the beginning of the play footage is from the dress rehearsal night (thus no laughter occurs here), and the rest is from the actual performance!

Here it is, available only on Veoh, because the file size was too big to put it directly on here.  I'm afraid you'll only be able to watch a 5-minute preview unless you become a Veoh member, but that's free, so I'd suggest that.

If anyone wants to download the full file without Veoh, they can just email me at heroblob@hotmail.com , and I can post a link.

PS the opening titles song is from Tokyuu Shirei Solbrain, and is the property of Toei Corporation; I do not own it, nor did I make it.

Thanks,

APOLOGIES, and NEW PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Hey all, 

  Apologies for the inexcusable lack of posts recently!  I really am going to make it up to you now, by giving you a special sneak-preview of some stuff I'm hoping to get published around town soon!  This is a short, one-page comic strip made to be serialized on a bi-weekly basis!  I've done a few of the pencils so far for a Jack-in-the-box-man comic series, and now I've also done the pencils for the first issue of 'Son of Vampire Blob!'  Yes, you knew it would be coming, you perhaps thought it would be a short film, but no-- here it is as a serialized news strip!  So, without further ado, here it is!!!   Or anyway, here are the pencils... oh, and by the way, read from the bottom frame upward!  Sorry, I can't get them in order!

Update: Vampire Blob Returns

Another update-- I worked on VBR at lunch today, and I have finally gotten to the part where Vampire Blob first meets Doctor Faustus! Now, I just can't wait till I get to Lord Byron's part... featuring the first mention of Augusta in the BLOB continuity! Hooray, more incest!! Look forward to it!

And don't forget- you can email me at heroblob@hotmail.com

Update: Vampire Blob Returns

Dearest readers,
Just updating you on the progress of the newest VB entry, Vampire Blob Returns. I'm still writing it, albeit slowly; I have this job (shock!) and it takes up an awful lot of time. However, I do hope to finish it in the next couple of weeks.

And, even more excitingly, I have confirmed the involvement of Stephen Potts; he will play Doctor Faustus for me!!! Hooray! So here's the confirmed cast list so far:

Vampire Blob: Nicolas Nadeau
Doctor Faustus: Stephen Potts
Lord Byron: Schedel Luitjen

More updates as they come!

Update: Vampire Blob Projects

So, I thought I should let you all know that I am now actively in the process of writing another Vampire Blob sequel, this the first Vampire Blob project to be written for.... the STAGE!!!

I may have a venue this summer, thanks to the ever-resourceful and Blobtabulous Nicolas Nadeau (whose birthday is tomorrow, btw, but too bad if you want to celebrate it with him- he's hanging out with ME). Therefore, I am writing and writing, carrying my script notebook with me wherever I go. This short little beauty will be called:

Vampire Blob Returns: Vampire Blob vs. Doctor Faustus!

I hope to get series mainstays Nicolas Nadeau and Stephen Potts cast in the main roles of Vampire Blob and Doctor Faustus respectively (although I have not yet communicated with Mr. Potts concerning this), and I myself plan to reprise my role as the indomitable, insatiable Lord Byron!

Meanwhile, I have fully planned my short, stop-motion animated film Son of Vampire Blob!, which takes place in continuity right before the events of Vampire Blob Returns, but also quite a long time after, due to the effects of time travel. I hope for it to be about 8 minutes long, and a real tear-jerker (yeah, right).

Meanwhile, I'm also sending off a copy of Vampire Blob: Silent Fangs of Horror off to another film festival today or tomorrow, so pray for that! Also, I may have a venue to show that movie off again in San Antonio this summer, so LOOK OUT!!!

Update: CLOUDMAN 10th Anniversary!!!

My dear friends:

Did you know that Cloudman, my most prolifically authored hero (70 + stories), was created almost ten years ago? That's right, it was September of 1999 when he was created, as far as I can calculate it. Cloudman, who gained his powers when a piece of the sun fell on top of him, can fly, shoot lightning bolts, and wear a snazzy outfit, among many other amazing abilities. Everyone's favorite liquidy friend, Hero BLOB, originated as a side-character in Cloudman comics, so you can imagine how great Cloudman is!!

To celebrate this momentous 10th anniversary, I have a whole slew of things lined up for the good ol' heroblob heroblog, including the planned scanning in of several episodes of the Cloudman comic, and the hopeful uploading of the most recent Cloudman movie (not very recent)! All of this will lead up to the biggest celebratory bash ever created, when the actual anniversary is celebrated in September!

Even more shocking, I've actually been actively working on a new issue of the Cloudman comic in the original continuity in the past weeks. This is the first time in over three years... let that sink in.... that I have actively pursued this continuity. I have, in the past couple of years, worked on a newly re-done version of the continuity, the first issue of which I hope to finish inking before the celebration, so that I can distribute it to my loyal fans! But now I'm back to finishing the original saga, and I'm fairly near to the end, so woohoo!!

Anyway, that's all on Cloudman for now; check often for updates!!!!
