I love getting these emails. This one is really nice not to lessen the others, but Chicago International Children's Film Festival is the biggest kids fest in the Americas. Children's Film Festivals are my favorites because kids are the main audiance. I being as I make these films for kids, it is a great fit.

DirtBoy Issue #3 is not Fin, in finished!


Colin and I have been discussing our complete dislike for English speaking or writing people that use foreign languages at the end of a movie, book or whatever. It feels real fake or just plan pompous! I also take issue with people that use other languages to make things more that what they are. In the wine industry this is common practice. Many wineries are named crazy funky French names even though the winery owners are not of French origin or located in France. You see it in every aspect of our lives. Before you say 'well are you not the guy that named his kids Dante and Tazio.' Yes I am, but I am over half Italian and I think it is important that first names work well with the last name.

Anyway I am just writing to say that we have finished issue #3 of DirtBoy and it has a great look and story. I know that you will enjoy it.

Dante loves the 'BOB'!


Dante Leo Elmo Dondero, co-creative genius behind Moronik Industries with his brother Tazio, has created a homage to one of his greatest inspirations 'Sponge Bob'! Long have Dante and Tazio looked at the brilliance of the 'BOB' in awe. Dante finding the muse to express his love has put crayon to paper and created for you this: The 'BOB'! He hope this will inspire you to pay similar reverence. Dante's father, AKA 'Dad', has asked those who wish to honor the 'BOB' to "Do it with pen, crayon, clay and paper. Please refrain from using monetary methods. Nickelodeon has made way to much cash off that sponge! Spend your hard earned cash on yet discovered Icons! This way you can say 'Oh, I was in to that way before anyone.'" Dante's father suggest the following sites to dump your cash into:
