MST3K Month

We've always looked upon the month of November as Mystery Science Theater 3000 Month. Mainly because while the show was still on the air, they would have an annual Turkey Day marathon every Thanksgiving. This means 30 straight hours of MST3K, which included themed host segments.

To go with this month's theme, Josh has begun work on creating his own cartoon adaptations of the main characters. So far, he has drawn the great trinity of the cast:

Tom Servo

Crow T. Robot

Joel Robinson

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!

Happy Thanksgiving Day everyone!

My Bloody Valentine

This is the Valentines Card that I (Josh) made for Katie this year. We have a personal link between Valentines Day and Little Shop of Horrors.

Better Late Then Never (SPD-01)

Last year for St. Patrick's Day (SPD) I began an annual project which I shared with some friends. The following is the email I sent out:
3/17/06
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
I thought I'd share with you guys something kinda unique for this day. Instead of celebrating the life of the man who brought the Gospel to Ireland, I did what any average Joe would do and designed a theme park attraction.
This attraction is not a St. Patrick Day theme, instead it is a tribute to Irish myth and folklore, but it is hosted by Leprechauns. I actually came up with the idea when I was a freshman in College, but I haven't drawn anything for it until now.
I apologize for how rough and crude these drawings are, I made most of them during my breaks at my job within the last day or so.
I have only scratched the surface of designing this attraction. After the "stone room" comes another section that transforms into a motion simulator, and there is even more after that! I might continue drawing all of this, or I may just wait till next year and make this an annual tradition.
Well, thank you for taking your time to read about my crazy ideas, and have a HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!
Back to Present Day: This year I was swamped with personal and professional matters that kept me from getting any more drawings done on time for SPD. About a week ago I got this drawing done during my morning break (I latter painted it in PS). It is my first attempt at designing a Leprechaun. I followed a few descriptions from various folk tales, such as the face and the red vest.Kenfied Trivia: Katie's mother tried to bribe her doctor to ensure a SPD birth, but was unsuccessful and Katie came two days later by way of emergency C-section. I guess mom does know best.
