Hey all , just thought we'd post a few samples of the book we just put uup at lulu.com that you can buy for a measly 11 bucks and 16 cents US (hint hint!!). Also thought we'd give ya a run down of our first kids book which is kinda old now, we finished it at the end of 2003 (we still love it but it doesn't really represent what we can do now), and basically thought we had come up with this cool little idea that we'd shop around to different publishers, who would love it and give us moola!! Of course we were wrong.. we didn't really anticipate the publishers "pc-ness", who all told us it didn't have enough local (New Zealand) content. So we've had very little interest from those small minded twats, but we reckon they're dickheads, then we stumbled across lulu.com......

Something else old...
Hey folks,
here's some more stuff we did a little while back, but you haven't seen it....so it's new to you!!
Last year we got approached to do some artwork for the official Big Day Out magazine (Big Day Out is New Zealand's equivilant of Ozfest, just a scootch smaller), it wasn't a very well paying job, but a cool job none the less, we said yes. So we were given the task of creating artwork for 2 of the headlining acts, Slipknot and System of a Down. We had complete creative freedom (which never happens) and this is what we came up with......

Jerry on the Top
Hey Folks,
We feel it's about time we introduce the newest addition to Mukpuddy Animation.
This is Jeremy Dillon.
Pretty isn't he?
For many years, Mukpuddy has just been the three of us, but this year, we thought we'd mix it up, and chuck in a fourth.
Jeremy has worked in children's television for 7 years, both in front and behind the camera.
He can't draw, he's way too old, and he's got a sordid reputation with the local tabloids, but who cares, he gave us a puppet, so he's in.
Welcome to Mukpuddy, Jeremy, you old galoot!
Theo, Rudy, and Denise.
Wait that's the Cosby kids.
Tim, Ryan and Alex.

Kids Book..
Hey everyone, well it's time for a new update and we thought we'd post a few piccys from a kids book we've just finished. Creating kids books is something we've always wanted to get into, and we've got no shortage of our own ideas, but, honestly, illustrating this book has been quite a trying experience.

Some more skin for ya...
Since I posted the pic of my knucks, I thought I'd post some of my other tattoos that my Mrs has done on me!!! The thinking behind my tattoos is that I really want stuff that has inspired me to be the artist I am today....
I have more planned too, my Samurai Jack, Fosters, Mojo Jojo and Fraggle Rock tattoos are yet to come!!

Mumfin Book Designs
Hi peoples, Tim here.
Recently, Ryan's been writing a kids book called, Mumfin. So I thought I'd have a go at designing the characters. This is the little boy so far. There's also a little girl and Mumfin himself (a creature thingy) so I'll probably do them to when i have a spare moment.
We're considering doing it in anaglyph 3d (the red and green glasses kind) so I'll do some tests and see if it's worth doing. I'll post them up for some feedback too, once they're done.
Enjoy
Tim

Pluto - Baby Cruel Video
OOPS, LINK IS FIXED NOW. SORRY!!
Well, we're finally aloud to reveal the music video we've been working on for New Zealand band Pluto. It was done on a fairly small budget and the 3 of us completed it in about 3 weeks. Apart from the initial character designs and the bg's, it was made entirely in Flash. Making this vid allowed us to experiment a little with flash so next time around we'll hopefully come up with something even better. Right click here and "save as" to check it out. (It's around 6.9MB)

The band are extremely happy with the final vid, so that's cool. They liked the vid so much that we actually got commissioned to create a 1 minute animated skit, featuring the characters, so we'll post that for you to see as well. Check that out here at mukpuddy.com
Look forward to hearing what you guys think!!

Update-a-roony
Hey Folks,
First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope you all had a good one.
Well, we got a great reception from all the people who saw our Xmas idents, so we've been commisioned to do 10 more 15sec idents featuring each of the presenters on C4 (NZ Music channel). So that's pretty cool. We'll hopefully post them as we go. So stay tuned.
Our new years resolution is to actually complete our very own kickass animated short film that will go on to win an oscar and win much critical acclaim! However It's a good chance that only part of that will actually come true, but you cant win 'em all.
Anyway, we'll keep you posted on our progress, so hopefully that keeps the pressure on us to keep working on it. Guess I better start writing a script then!!!
Seeya, Ryan

Cold Hard Mukpuddy!
We got mentioned at Cold Hard Flash. Cheers Aaron, that's awesome!! Go check out the article, which mainly focuses on the Xmas idents we did for NZ's C4 music television.
We are happy boys..... so happy in fact that we all went out and grew matching facial hair, which we call "The Aint-it-cool". (As you can see, Alex is the more free spirited one of the group. Bloody hippy!)
