Monkey Pirate Zombie

Over the first half of the year I have been making progress in my efforts to become a writer type person. Seeing as I only have so much time, this has meant unfortunately my animation and cartooning work has suffered. As a result, MPZ has pretty much been on unofficial hiatus for most of 2012. Well, the good news is that I am now doing actually freelance work, and if this becomes my main employment then I am hopeful I will have more time to devote to my MPZ endeavours. Not to mention that I'd actually be paid to be doing something I actually enjoy for a change. So this pro work then? I am now contributing to new magazine MyM, which is now available on UK newsstands (plus other places such as Ireland, Australia and New Zealand I believe). Check it out! Issue 1 features my article on the Bleach anime movies. Issue 2 is out 7th June.

Well while I'm here, would you like to see a little cartoon I did? No? Too bad cos here it is. Hopefully it won't be too long until I post again!

I have started writing a column named Animation Avenue for a brand new movie, music an pop culture website Screen Highway. My first review is for the ace Oscar nominated (but not winning) Chico and Rita. With my animations and stuff I post here, as well as my reviews for Screen Highway and for Anime UK News, my work these days is being spread all over the interweb. Therefore to keep track of all my stuff, I have finally got with the programme and joined up on Twitter (@misterchristor). So feel free to follow me. New monkey pirate zombie stuff will be with you soon!

ROCKTOPUSS! Why? Why not? ROCKTOPUSS! That is all.

Another new Movie Monkey for you, this time from a more up to date film. And also a film that hasn't even come out yet. Wallpaper versions etc coming soon.

Kicking off 2012 will be a new range of Movie Monkeys. First is one from one of my favourite movies of all time. If you can recognise it, that makes you awesome.

 A very merry christmas to everybody from Monkey Pirate Zombie. Here to celebrate are my christmas designs for the year. A little series called 'Reindeer Games'. There's four different designs, Click to see them biggerer.  If you're looking for something to watch, my festive animations from earlier years can be seen here and here. I hope you have a fabulous festive season and I'll be back with more stuff in 2012!

Christmas is coming, apparently. Who knew? There is still time for you to give the gift of Monkey pirate Zombie, by buying some swag from our store. I have created a brand new range of Christmas cards for 2011, that you can buy to send to your loved ones. Or your enemies. Or keep them for yourself. Hell, it's none of my business what you do with them after you buy 'em. You can check them out here.

And so I return! My computer-related woes turned out to be more complicated (and more wallet-bashingly expensive) than anticipated, which is why I've been gone so long. But crucially my files survived intact so I was able to finish the animation I was working on when my computer went boom. It is the first in a new series. I already have Trailerama for movie based hijinx, but now I am starting a Video Game humour based series, and I'm calling it Arcade Perfect. The first episode deals with the classic video game Metal Gear Solid, and features some fantastic voice acting from returning stars, Lee Tsuruneru and Annabelle Bay

OK folks, so about now I should be publishing a new animation (the first in a new series no less!), however it's going to be delayed, by the apparent death of my faithful computer. (A moments silence please... blub!) My latest work was hours from completion when the machine stopped working. Fortunately I recently did a back up so I haven't lost the whole thing, but it remains to be seen how much work has actually been lost. I hope to get back up and running ASAP, but there will be a delay in the meantime. Please stand by...

Great news for you today: it's only a frickin' brand new animation. Although based on an old animation I did a few years back, this is actually completely new stuff. I  present for your approval: Pickles The Clown:

This animation features marvelous music by an awesome and lovely young lady who goes by the name of Blue (UK readers note: she is nothing to do with the crappy British Boyband of the same name). She writes thoroughly ace music about awesomely geeky things on her equally top notch website Hello, The Future. You should check it out. While your at it you can check out the album Mink Car Cover, a project featuring 19 talented artists (including Blue, who also put together the project) that is being sold to mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and raise monkey for the NYFD (new York Fire Dept.) A worthy cause indeed!
