Winston Steinburger and Sir Dudley Ding Dong

I am very pleased to announce that a show I created called "Winston Steinburger and Sir Dudley Ding Dong" has been officially green lit for production with Teletoon and ABC Australia.
I couldn't be more thrilled and excited to start work on this project that I have been developing with E-One and Sticky Pictures over the last few years, and share it with you in the 2016 season.

Press release from E-One Family:

Entertainment One Family’s New 2-D Animated Series

February 06, 2014

The fast-paced children’s TV show produced with Australia’s Sticky Pictures scheduled to broadcast on ABC3 Australia and TELETOON Canada in 2016

LONDON 6th February : Entertainment One Family (eOne Family) is proud to announce that its high energy comedy cartoon series Winston Steinburger and Sir Dudley Ding Dong, 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 .

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!”

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.

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.”

CHRIS ROSE, COMMISSIONING EDITOR ABC CHILDREN’S TELEVISION comments,
“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. “

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 Winston Steinburger. ”

January Update

Been an exciting week for the I FEEL SUPER app.
It's currently featured on the iTunes Kids section under BEST FOR AGES 5 AND UNDER.
Thank you very much to all who have downloaded it and helped my little app land on this page with some prestigious company.

The Super Duper Super Hero shorts have also found their way into some great festivals this season.
It received an invite for TIFFkids in Toronto in April of this year, along with some previous screenings at the Ottawa Animation festival, and the Melbourne Animation festival, and 3 previous awards at the L.A. Webfest earlier in 2013.

This year also launches THE ADVENTURES OF NAPKIN MAN with LITTLE TUGBOAT and LITTLE AIRPLANE PRODUCTIONS.
This is a series I was heavily involved with from the pilot, through character designs, storyboards and a few days on set with the kids.
I am really proud of the work on this series in particular and was a great experience from start to finish. Its such a bonus when you have the opportunity to work on programming that you believe in.
The Adventures of Napkin Man air Mon-Fri at 9:30 a.m. on C.B.C.

Also released this season is a series in which I did some character designs for, as well as wrote an episode on, called the YUP YUPS
I'm not entirely sure what episodes have aired yet, so the best I can show is a pretty basic car so I don't give anything up from the show.
You can catch this show on Disney Jr. weeknights a 6:55 p.m.

Places I've Lived series

PLACES I'VE LIVED series.
I have admittedly lived in a few more places than these but didn't want it to get too out of hand ( Ive also lived in some pretty bland places so fair game I guess).
If interested, prints of any or all of these are available for purchase at my Society6 shop here.
Thanks! *Can click on the pictures for a larger version
