BLOB for President, Part One!

Dear BLOBpals,

Still trying to wrap your head around this 'Vobama' character? Well, your essential reading is the short series of one-page adventures, 'Hero BLOB for President' !

I'll release it here, just for you! I wrote it in 2010, and am still in the process of inking it. Here's the first installment! ENJOY!

POR FAVORRRR! Feedback for Hero BLOB

Hey friends!

My pal Tim pointed out to me that the font I'm using was blurry and annoying.

So what do you think? I made the font bigger, so hopefully it's easier to read, but what about other aspects of the blog? Is it over-designed? Has the site read Vobama's biography 'The Audacity of Trying Too Hard' too many times? Do you not get that joke because you don't know who Vobama is?

Well, for the last one, I can do you a favor and upload my brief animation, 'Hero BLOB: Vobama is All Washed Up'. For the other questions, YOU TELL ME. Feedback, por favor!

Love you guys! xx

Pengy Sends his Message!

Dear Readers and Friends,

I have here for your pleasure today a special message from Pengy, the flying penguin, Cloudman's sidekick and Hero BLOB's pal, card-carrying member of the Goodiness League! It's in Penguinese, so have those dictionaries handy, because he won't say it twice! Of course, you can watch the video twice... or three times... OR MANY MORE TIMES. Go for it. DO IT.
Cheers,

Your Penguin Pal,

Schedel Luitjen

The Innocence

Dear Viewers, Readers, and Listeners:

Updates galore! I'm working on the second Cloudman novel in the current series, entitled (for now) 'Cloudman's Secret Identity'. It's a chronicle of the somewhat brief romance between Cloudman and Cloudwoman, and will likely come to include also the first Goodiness League adventure (don't know what the Goodiness League is? SHAME ON YOU, YOU'LL HAVE TO READ TO FIND OUT).

I've also begun another little story, this time a murder mystery which takes place during the brief limbo period after BLOB 12, during the time that BLOB is absent from Innocentville. It's called 'The Innocence' for now, though I may re-title it 'The Innocence Killer'. It follows Innocentville PD's Officer Jackson on his hunt for a brutal murderer who is targeting seemingly random citizens of Innocentville. But can he find the link between the victims and stop the vicious murderer before it's too late? Or will he himself fall victim to the madman's killer will?

Yeah, clearly I've been reading too much Thomas Harris.

Meanwhile, my friend Quincy is coming into town tomorrow, which makes me 'super duper excited' as Amanda Bynes would say. For the occasion, I'm thinking of trying to get together my ragtag but wonderful voice team to record a little some-some before he leaves the country again. You may remember Quincy as the voice of Mayor Kettle and Santa Claus (and Paco) from the Hero BLOB Christmas Special last year. Don't remember? THEN CHECK IT OUT RIGHT FREAKING NOW on www.blastocyst.org.uk !!!!

I'm also working on what I hope to be a very short piece featuring Jack In the Box Man, which will then hopefully be showcased on Blastocyst, as well.

And I have secret plans brewing, as always. But now they're brewing very near the surface. Let's just say they involve Lord Byron and an excessive amount of satin, and leave it at that.

Ciao for now, BLOBpals!!

Hero BLOB Update, with Cloudman!

Well, my dears, it's been a long while, but I haven't been idle. I've finished both 'Killer Brother: Target Genesis' and a new Cloudman novel, 'Jack and Betrayal' in the last couple of months. I'm currently sending them out to some magazines to see if I can get them published. But Hero BLOB isn't just on the back-burner, no no. Our favorite Hero BLOB is oozing his way into the new Cloudman book, and the plot for 'Hero BLOB 12: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry BLOB' is completely crystalized, as it must be, since its events are mentioned in 'Jack and Betrayal'! Hopefully, I'll have some good news on those soon, as to publication.

Now, I've moved on to the next Cloudman novel, 'Cloudman's Secret Identity', which significantly alters the state of things of Cloudman's early adventures by expanding on the behind-the-scenes relationship of Cloudman and the mysterious Cloudwoman!! Exciting times.

And check out some Hero BLOB and Cloudman -related poetry on the blastocyst.org.uk website, featuring 'Hero BLOB: Nadir' and 'To Cloudman', a poem written by Pengy, Cloudman's sidekick penguin! All are by yours truly, the Author, Schedel B. Luitjen!!

I remain, as ever, yours xx

SECRET PROJECT

Dear Pals,

Secret project work went well today; I did several character designs, especially of P____ and her baby, and the evil cow. I'm really excited about this secret project! Also, I finished reading the original in Latin today, too!!

Meanwhile, after days of searching, I finally found a suitable oak tree to use in Cloudman: Tree, and now I can actually make that film!! Awesome.

Laterzzzzzzz,

The Glowing Horizon: CLOUDMAN!!!

Dearest friends,

I'm moving on to the thing I always hoped to achieve.... CLOUDMAN movies. Yes, Cloudman, my first successful superhero creation, from more than 10 years ago now. I've already fully written/ illustrated the storyboard for the third episode in the Cloudman film series, 'Cloudman: Tree'. I haven't written the first two yet, but that's par for the course. It's a direct re-imagining of what I remember from the episode of the original comic from 1999 of the same name. It's uber-fast-paced and quite ridiculous, so probably right up the alley of anyone who likes the BLOB series. Of course, there are quite a few loose ends to be tied in the BLOB series, and I'm by no means abandoning it. This should be a busy exam season for me (I hope) as I try to get all of this done. I wouldn't have it any other way!!
