Tattooed strongman" (Carnival's first independently
produced vinyl collector toy) some "Fresh Ink" .
These hand picked artists will have a chance to
customize blank buzz toys with their own take on his
tats, and their work will be displayed at Carnival
Cartoons' table at this february's New York Comic con.

POP CULT


One of a shiteload of fake movie posters I made for a show pitch my carnival cartoons partner jared and I were shopping around last year. 26 shorts that pay tribute to the quirkiness of low-budget B movies from the 50s and 60s. It was a ton of fun making the posters!
