Last year we posted about the fun illustrations we were doing for a new storybook app called, When Santa Got Sick! Version 2.0, which features some new illustrations and updates, has launched and is currently in the top 10 best sellers in the "children's religious" category on amazon/kindle apps.
When Santa Got Sick is an interactive storybook app written by Greg Perkins, that tells the tale of what happened when Santa was too sick to deliver presents one Christmas Eve.
Corey & Friends follows the misadventures of Corey, as he and his oddball group of friends get into all kinds of trouble. In their first adventure titled, “Giant Corey,” we meet Corey, Jason, Kyle, Max, Kelly and Megan, and learn what happens when someone dares to insult Corey’s favorite sport… Pro Wrestling!
2A! directed and animated this short, which was created and written by Corey Snowden, for FlipThis TrumpCard Productions.
2A! has officially teamed up with the fabulous Fine Bros to create some killer animated shorts!
Our first collaboration, "You’re Entering Puberty Charlie Brown," has just launched on The Fine Bros YouTube channel. The short is a hilarious spoof on the classic Peanuts cartoons, and examines what happens when Charlie Brown and the gang hit puberty. It was written by The Fine Bros and animated by us!
If that weren’t cool enough, we also collaborated to create an Animated Outtakes video, which you can find on our YouTube channel, and a semi-embarrassing Behind the Scenes video, which can be viewed on The Fine Bros 2 YouTube channel.
"Trifecta attack!"
Be sure to check out all three videos and subscribe to The Fine Bros on YouTube. Because they rock!

We often get asked about our work on Sifaka World, so we thought it would be cool to post a demo video we created back when the virtual world (MMO) was still being developed. This video shows just a few of the cool world areas, games, and characters 2A! designed and animated for Sifaka World!
You can also view more of our Sifaka World artwork on our blog and website.

We've teamed up with Digital Backlot to create a series of fun games for Growums.com. The object of this first game is to hit your keyboard arrow keys in the right combination to water and grow your tomato plant. If your timing is off, you'll face the judges' insults. If you impress the judges you’ll move on to the next level, and grow another inch closer to the stardom you've always dreamt of!
2A! handled coding, animation and assembly of this fun Dance Dance Revolution-style game, using Digital Backlot’s awesome 3D artwork and designs.

This animation is a great way to tell that special someone how much they mean to you. Especially when you're sleeping on the couch because you forgot your anniversary again! LOL =P
Another animation from our "flirty" batch of SweetIM's. Enjoy!
2A! helps spread the word about the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle (EAB).
Nature Walk - Understanding the Life Cycle of the EAB is an educational video for the Stop the Beetle website and will be used to teach people about the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle, which is an invasive insect that is killing Ash trees by the millions.
2A! teamed up with our friends at JMH Education to write and direct this 4-minute Flash animation.
Don’t have Flash on your iPhone or other mobile device? No problem!
2A! recently launched our “i-compatable” mobile site. The abbreviated site allows visitors to learn a little about our studio and view select videos and artwork without requiring Flash.

Have you ever wondered what happens to a raindrop after it falls from the sky? DC Water offers up their answer in this cool, educational short, which tells the story of DC Water’s "Clean Rivers Project" from the perspective of a few drops of water.
There’s no better compliment than having a beautiful girl tell you “you’re a knockout!” Of course, the fact that she could actually knock you out might be a bit intimidating, but who cares… it’s the thought that counts.
Here’s the first in an all new batch of “flirty” SweetIM animations. Enjoy!
Our latest batch of SweetIM animations (pictured above) has launched and boy are they hot! They’re all part of a flirty-themed batch, and include our humorous takes on bad one-liners.
2A! developed the concepts, designed and animated the characters, and provided the audio. Check out some hot screen shots below, and then head over to www.sweetim.com to download the FREE application.
Following up on Tom's post last week, here's a shot of the cast of nuts we designed for The Skinny On Nuts Website. These characters were really fun for us, because they hearken back to our roots of drawing wacky characters with big circle eyes. The bottom layer in the image is our initial line-up of characters, while the top layer contains a few revisions.
Anyway, go check out the site which we helped design, and be sure to "like it." Spread some love people!
Ever wonder what would happen if The Jersey Shore cast met up with the Dragonball Z cast? Neither did we, but College Humor sure did, and boy are you in for a treat. Prepare for orange tans, frosted tips, and a Super Saiyan sucker-punch in this action packed, animated battle!

Did you know that peanuts are not only good for your heart, but also good for your exercise routine? That's because eating peanuts, along with other nuts, provides the body with many of the necessary nutrients that help you get moving. This fun, educational site was commissioned by The National Peanut Board and is chock-full of important nutritional information about your favorite nuts. Get the "skinny on nuts" at www.skinnyonnuts.com and find out how eating nuts can be part of a healthy diet.
2A! helped design the Website and characters, and provided music and animation. We had a great time teaming up with LBVD to work on this project!
This super-cool illustration of Optimus Prime was created by Greg Kleid, one of our awesome background artists. Greg drew this as a present for his nephews and we just had to post it. Man, I wish I had an uncle as cool as Greg!
"Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form into Mumm-Ra the Ever Living!"
Now that I got that out of the way... Mumm-Ra is one of the all-time coolest villains! He starts off looking like a pathetic old man hobbling around in mummy rags, and with a few choice words becomes the baddest baddie the Thundercats have ever faced. Of course, in reality they usually beat him pretty easily, but we're talking about my distorted childhood memories here!
This guy's been a long time coming, so I hope you like him. I like Mums so much that I also did a warm-up sketch, which I've included below. Enjoy!
Just like my heroic team shot, these dudes are part of a larger drawing I’m doing for fun. Next up... Ma-Mutt!.
Here comes Jackalman, the club-wielding (and sometimes mace-swinging) evil mutant jackal!
The evil mutants were the perfect examples of incompetent lackeys, and Jackalman here was no exception. These bumbling baffoons were always screwing up Mumm-Ra's evil plans. Speaking of Mumm-Ra, looks like he's up next!
Just like my heroic team shot, these dudes are part of a larger drawing I’m doing for fun. Remember to check back next week for Mumm-Ra.
Watch out for Vultureman, the I-have-no-idea-what-the-heck-his-weapon-is evil mutant vulture!
Seriously, this is the weapon that came with the toy, but what is it? Some type of bird claw on a stick? Or maybe a bird cage cleaner?
Anyway, like my heroic team shot, Vultureman is part of a larger team drawing. Again, I'll be posting each villain as I finish, then the whole image once it's done. Next up is Jackalman!
I wasn't sure at first, but I think the new designs are growing on me. I'll have to reserve final judgement until I see the new show, but that news lit a fire under me to finish up my Evil Mutants illustration. So this week I'm posting my take on the mace-wielding Monkian!
Just like my heroic team shot, these dudes are part of a larger drawing I’m doing for fun. Next week I'll post my Vultureman, followed by Jackalman, Mumm-ra, his dog Ma-Mutt, and then the final team shot.
Here’s a “whimsical tale of mediocrity” brought to you by College Humor!
Oh, The Places You’ll Actually Go is a spoof of the classic Dr. Seuss story of the same name (sans the “Actually”). In the animation, our protagonist learns the harsh truth about what will happen to all of his childhood hopes and dreams. Even though the tale is a cynical one, we still had fun working on it!
2A! animated this short in Flash, with our pals at Snark Rocket producing!
