THE FICTORY AT THE BALTIMORE COMICON ::
Saturday, August 28th, 2010
Wow. Baltimore Comic Con peeps are pretty amazing. I spent all day on the floor talking to excited Atomic Robo fans. The response to the trialer was fantastic! Me and the crew are more excited than ever to get back in the studio and start animating again! The only bad thing about being at the show is not being in the studio. But it’s more than worth it to hang out with Fans, recharge our batteries and be reminded who we’re doing this for in first place… the audience!
A lot of people asked us to buy Atomic Robo Comics today, but unfortunately we don’t sell them currently. But that doesn’t mean you can go to the official Atomic Robo Site and get your hot hands on your very own copies of Brian and Scott’s badass bot books.
If you are coming in on Sunday, make sure you buy raffle tickets. You could win a signed Atomic Robo: Production Poster (the whole crew), Feltingard (a plush ARLS model Helsingard), or an actual hand drawn Run sequence from the short. We are also selling copies of American Terror at the table. Here’s a link to buy the AT Books, or watch the Fictory short, American Terror: Company Man.

FUBAR IS ABOUT TO DROP ::
Thursday, August 5th, 2010
I just love to gush about the f***king rad shit our people are working on in and outside of the Fictory. Well, look out! Because Jeff McComsey (Fictory Creative Director) has just dropped an gnarled and festering bomb on the world at large. Set in an alternate zombie infested World War II, FUBAR is McComsey’s latest zombie infested sequential entry. Now, if you’re about to say “oh great, another zombie story”, I humbly suggest that you shut the hell up.
Acting as creator and creative director, McComsey’s managed to assemble an international team of indie all-stars. Including 3 more of the Fictory’s frequent collaborators, Dominic Vivona (Production Director), Steve Becker (Production Artist), and Helaine Crawford (Creative and Animation Assistant). To learn all there is to know about FUBAR jump on over to McComsey’s FUBAR BLOG. And be sure to look for him at the Baltimore Comicon were you can get your hands on the Graphic Novel, hot off the Alterna Comics presses.
Also shoot over to GeekChicDaily or Battlemouth for some great external write ups.
Don’t forget to check out other titles by Jeff, Steve, and Dom over at theFictoryComics, for FREE!!! American Terrror (Jeff), Stabb Gunner (Steve), and Mutualism (Dominic).

REFOCUSING ON COMEDY ::
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
This past Thursday, Damian Eby and Parker Lindstrom, long time friends of theFictory and Postage, Inc., sat down and recorded some tracks. We were working from a script based on a world we been trying to really dive into, on and off for the past few months. Well we got some great stuff and I look forward to getting some more voices down so we can really get cooking on the animation.
Here at the Fictory, working on comedic animation is very different from more narrative or commercial applications. Sure, at the end of the day, many of the same techniques are used, but the journey to get to a finished project vary dramatically (no pun intended, I swear!). With something like our American Terror: Company Man or our upcoming Atomic Robo short, we begin with a plan. We massage that plan, working out the kinks until it’s as perfect as we can make it. From that point we put on our production hats and get things done. But with comedy it’s a much more organic process. Comedy is all about timing and living in the moment. That’s why we never say we’re going to do anything for sure it’s a constantly changing animal.
I’m excited to see where the comedy carries us. While we wait, be sure to check out Parker and Damian’s podcast STICK IT IN YOUR EARHOLE.
