A NOTE FROM CAROL
A NOTE FROM CAROL
We have had one of the busiest weeks in our short PINK SLIP history!
After joining our group only one week ago, Tim Saguinsin has managed to design a multitude of new PINK SLIP logos, hammer out a new website design, work with a few members on finalizing the website, and connect with another new member to animate her cartoon.
We owe Tim a huge THANKS!
Two Illustrators are turning their famous illustrations into motion comics. Liza Donnelly, a contract cartoonist for the New Yorker. And Elwood Smith, a very well known and established illustrator. We are honored to feature their cartoons on our soon-to-be channel PINK SLIP TV.
Just today, we were contacted by a couple in Atlanta, who together, will be helping to set up a Forum for our website. Will Mockridge is a web developer. And Jennifer Adkins is an illustrator and web designer. Thank you!
Mike Milo has set up our official Zazzle store for PINK SLIP Animation. We will be uploading designs, art, and fun items to sell in the next couple of weeks. Thank you Mike for putting that together!
Our website pinkslipanimation.com is LIVE, but still being tweaked for perfection! Thank you Craig Clark and Tim Saguinsin.
Larry Levine has a Thanksgiving special coming this month to PINK SLIP TV. He is working very hard finishing up Dewey and L'il Lynne for their debut.
Craig Clark's KUSTOMONSTERS AND FRIENDS is at the top of this page if you would like to check it out. He is now working on WOODSTOCK MANOR, plus a couple of other series he plans to air in 2010.
We will be putting together a book of art by PINK SLIP artists to sell on our site and promote all of the incredible artists in this group.
Although we missed out on securing a table at this year's CTN EXPO, we will be there to see our friends and enjoy the speakers. We plan to be involved at the San Diego Comic Con in 2010. Plus the New York Comic Con.
Thank you to everyone for all of your support and hard work.
