I held on as long as I could, but as my posts and audience has shrunk, updating here probably doesn't make that much sense any more.<br />
<br />
That all said, I will be continuing to post new updates over on my website rather than this blogger format at the following address:<br />
<a href="http://www.mikegeiger.com/news" target="_blank">http://www.mikegeiger.com/news</a><br />
<br />
Please feel free to join me over there, and Ill do my best to keep it full of as much new artwork as I can.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there, and thanks for all the support of the years!!!<br />

Seeing this kind of response to my work is what makes it all worth doing.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I feel Super is a wonderful story app from developer Mike Geiger.</i><br />
<i>
The first things that will jump out at
you are the fantastic graphics. The pages in the story are all very well
designed and laid out. The color scheme is also really cool. As you may
have guessed from the title, it’s all about feeling super and what
makes our hero feel super. On each page there is a simple interactive
element and a short sentence with a picture. The things that our super
friend does are all great. He hugs trees, plays music and eats up all
his vegetables. All these things inspire a super feeling.
</i><i>This app is great for kids. It is beautifully designed and full of
positive messages. The interactivity on the pages is simple, and it’s
accompanied by cool sound effects. The page with the stars is my
personal favourite. If you love I Feel Super as much as I do, you will
also love I Feel Brave.</i><br />
<h3 dir="ltr">
<i>What we liked</i></h3>
<i>
</i><i>The graphics, simplicity and overall feel.</i><br />
<i>
</i>
<h3>
<i>What we would like to change</i></h3>
<i>
</i><i>Not much.</i><br />
<i>
</i>
<h3>
<i>Studycat Rating: 4/4</i></h3>

<br />
I realize I'm way overdue on this, but wanted to throw a post out there about how much I enjoyed my TAAFI experience this year.<br />
<br />
I was a part of two events, the first being a workshop on making short films, and the second a panel on "Creating Success".<br />
While I could spend the next two paragraphs apologizing for my nervousness getting the better of me while delivering the workshop, I'll save the space for a note on all the other fun stuff about the festival that was super enjoyable.<br />
Great old friends, the opportunity to meet some new ones, a terrific group of volunteers, and the feeling of being a part of a really supportive and creative atmosphere made the weekend a memorable one.<br />
The festival does seem to be growing up and felt like this year in particular had a nice community vibe thanks to the addition of the TAAFI marketplace.<br />
<br />
Thanks again to Barney, and Rich, and Mike, and Ben at TAAFI for the invite, and Canadian Animation Resources for hosting me in their booth along with their other guests.<br />
Looking forward to next year!<br />

I will be putting on a workshop at the Toronto Animated Arts Festival International this season called <a href="http://taafi.com/festival/events/?id=126" target="_blank">"Making Cartoon His Way"</a> and wanted to invite you to attend.<br />
It will be a FREE workshop on Saturday June 14th at 2 at George Brown College (Waterfront Campus) 4th Floor Learning Landscape.<br />
Yes FREE!<br />
<br />
I'll be going over my story and drawing process with the hopes of sharing some of the things I have learned over the past years making films, ending with a short case study on my most recent film <a href="https://vimeo.com/95354567" target="_blank">ON THE SUBWAY</a>.<br />
<br />
I would be thrilled if you wanted to come by and join the discussion.<br />
I can't promise you will leave smarter, but I can promise a lot of embarrassingly crappy development drawings, and a few giveaways including a special TAAFI print for everyone who attends.<br />
<br />
Hope you can make it a part of your fun-filled festival weekend!<br />
<br />

<i>The fast-paced children’s TV show produced with Australia’s Sticky
Pictures scheduled to broadcast on ABC3 Australia and TELETOON Canada
in 2016</i><br />
<br />
LONDON 6th February : Entertainment One Family (eOne Family) is proud to announce that its high energy comedy cartoon series <i>Winston Steinburger and Sir Dudley Ding</i> <i>Dong</i>,
developed in collaboration with multi-award winning studio Sticky
Pictures have partnered with broadcasters TELETOON Canada and ABC3
Australia to deliver the new 2-D animated series in 2016 .<br />
<br />
Olivier Dumont, MD of Entertainment One Family said, “We’re incredibly
excited to be working with Sticky Pictures on what we truly believe to
be a fantastically funny and inventive TV show that will hit the sweet
spot of kids aged 6-12. Securing ABC3 and TELETOON as broadcast partners
at this stage in the production is a clear endorsement of the show’s
potential and we can’t wait to bring it to TV screens across the world!”<br />
<br />
The new 52 X 11’ animated show for 6-12 year olds follows the hilarious
hijinks of Winston Steinburger, his feline best friend Sir Dudley and an
uptight alien, Hampton, as they explore the galaxy together in a
homemade space cruiser seeking out fun adventures. The three
astronomical amigos face death on a daily basis, squaring off against
bubbling planets, bad-breathed Space-bandits and the worst nemesis of
all – Pam the Destroyer – a tweenie bopper with a manic personality, an
itchy trigger finger and a mega crush on Winston.<br />
<br />
Donna Andrews (CEO & Partner) from independent Australian production
company Sticky Pictures said, “We love Winston Steinburger! It’s fast,
funny and full of cheek. We’ve been delighted by the response so far
from ABC3 and TELETOON and we look forward to working closely with eOne
Family to produce the series.”<br />
<br />
CHRIS ROSE, COMMISSIONING EDITOR ABC CHILDREN’S TELEVISION comments,<br />
“How could we resist the cheeky chap and his two cute pals? And Pam! The
high octane scripts are perfect for the ABC3 audience. From the moment
we saw the teaser we knew there was something special about this great
new show. “<br />
<br />
ALAN GREGG, Director of Content, TELETOON Canada adds,
“We’re thrilled to partner with eOne Family on this irreverent
fast-paced, comedy action series. TELETOON viewers will fall out of
theirs seats when they finally meet the colourful characters of <i>Winston Steinburger</i>. ”Mike Geigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13246561548015768703noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074271.post-84611972392644258122014-01-26T08:57:00.000-08:002014-01-26T08:58:21.523-08:00January Update<div style="text-align: center;">
