FARToons Productions is about to turn 13 years old on February 1st. It has not been the most successful endeavor in history. It has had its ups and downs. Its good years and bad years. Its shitty cartoons and its okay cartoons. But through it all, it has survived with me. I want to thank everyone who has supported FARToons over the years. Maybe one day, long after I’m dead, it will get the recognition it deserves. If only for the reason that it dared to do something different. Please share this on your Facebook if you love FARToons.
Thanks to all the fans. You all helped spread hate across the planet. I hope FARToons will continue offending people for years to come.
To celebrate twelve years of FARToons Productions I will be giving away twelve FREE DVD Samplers at Vintage Vinyl in the St. Louis Loop. Each DVD is forty-seven minutes long and includes such classics as Merely Meerkats, Harry & Terry, The Wish Fish Family and more! They are gonna go fast because people like to throw away free stuff! So hang around The Loop Friday afternoon and come say “hi”.

Episode two of Harry & Terry is now available online! Check it out below. Unfortunately, there is a fuck up in it that I didn’t catch until after I uploaded it to YouTube. But anyway, this is probably my last cartoon for a while. I need a break. Especially from Harry & Terry. Geeeesh!

Harry teaches Terry all about the Fourth of July in a touching holiday special for the whole American family.
“White Trash Terry” is the second episode of the animated web series “Harry & Terry”. It will be available online on YouTube and FARToons.net in July 2012.

I finished Harry & Terry in under a month. So here it is. That’s really all I have to say about it. If it goes well I’ll do more. If not, I won’t.

I don’t normally do this, but I am going to showcase artwork here from my upcoming cartoon Harry & Terry. I rewrote the script three times and I’m working on the characters and backgrounds for the new version. Everything is classic Flash cutout style. You can tell it in the characters and the backgrounds. This a style I’ve never really taken on before so we’ll have to see how it works out. It will end up looking pretty simplistic, which is good for web toons anyway. You can crank out more episodes faster. I’m still not sure how I will approach the more difficult bits of animation yet. Probably as simply as I can.
You’ll notice there are only two angles of Harry right now. That is because I know they’re the only angles I’ll need for this cartoon. If I need other angles later I’ll have to make them. Terry, on the other hand, will have multiple angles.
The bedroom scene is only going to be for one quick shot. It was a lot of work for only a few seconds of video.
