Save the Date - Saturday the 11th September 2010 (in a few days) 8:00am Australian Eastern Standard Time.

James and I have set ourselves a challenge to get 24 animations done in 24 hours straight! The cool thing though, is that we'll be live on stickam.com the whole time! You'll see us in our computer room, where both James and I will be working, eating, power napping - whatever. As well as everything James draws on his Cintiq.

Not only are we putting ourselves out there for everyone to see how we work, we're also wanting to animate the ideas YOU come up with! (as long as they're not too vulgar or obscene) If we go with your idea, we'll credit you as inspiration :D

So, make sure you tune in on the channel above for the 24 in 24 challenge!

**Update**
We've chosen the date - it will be the 11th September 8am Australian Eastern Standard Time. I'll do up a front page post with the stickam details closer to the date. Well... it's only in a few days, but you know what I mean ;)

So James and I had an awesome idea the other day - to make 24 animations in 24 hours.

We did a run of tests last night and figured out that it's do-able. Just. heh. I think the hardest thing will be staying awake. I'm keen to see what strange and fucked up thing we churn out on that 24th hour...

But how to make it so everyone can see what we're doing, during those 24 hours?
Answer: Stickam.com

I am hoping that it's possible to show 2 camera angles on the same channel. I'd like everyone to see what James is doing on his Wacom and then another camera on the wall so you can see the two of us at work. Or eating. Or taking a power nap if it comes to that!

We really want people to get involved in this too - so if you happen to be on stickam while we're attempting this 24 hour marathon of animations, then yell out some ideas! We'd gladly incorporate whatever sounds good and will credit you at the end as a source of inspiration :D

We need to do this between our deadlines and preferably on a weekend - so the date hasn't been set yet - but I thought I should start letting people know so you can start thinking of cool ideas. Nothing too vulgar or obscene though.

Here's a pic I drew this morning for shits and giggles.

Until Friday the 13th, the Cuddle PUNCH album is going on SALE for $3!

You won't find this sale on iTunes or Amazon though... it's exclusive to my site www.hanialee.com

While you're there, if you haven't already, pick up the Tarboy OST and bonus tracks for FREE!

So James and I are safely home now after 2 awesome weeks visiting the Newgrounds office in Philly.

Photos can be checked out Here.

Hello!
So James and I are in Philadelphia at the moment, and we've met a whole bunch of awesome people so far, but I forgot to give them my details to keep in touch - so if you're one of those people, PM me! I'd hate to have met someone in person and then not speak to them again... that's just silly.

For all those that want to say hello (again or for the first time), I suggest we head out for a coffee or something - Downtown Philly is lovely (James and I still need to explore it more too) so we'd love company.

Monday next week would be good? I think that's the 19th?

So James and I are visiting the Newgrounds office for Robot day :) We're in Philly now and just went to our first baseball game tonight - awesome.

Gonna head to Six Flags Great Adventure and ride the awesome Kingda Ka next week - it will rock socks.

Woot NG!!

and Cheese Steaks!!

Hey hey! Just wanted to let you all know about the new animation up on the portal ; Ballgina Safari (BGS for short).

This is a shortened version of my song 'Ballgina Safari' (full track can be found on the Cuddle PUNCH album on itunes, amazon, my blogetc) CurtiSmith did the animation.

You should go follow the two explorers on their quest to find Ballgina's... go go tight balls go!

So you know I'm making a live action video clip for my song 'Fear and War' - but do you know how hard it is to sit in front of blinding lights and camera's and not laugh?

Very.

See for yourself...
