With a week to go, we've left telling everyone about this rather late...

James and I have decided to challenge ourselves for a second year in a row - to make 24 animations in 24 hours straight. We'll be live streaming for the whole 24 hours and chatting to all that come for a squizz to ask for ideas along the way.

We'd love to make this as interactive as possible.

Check out last years attempt:

Between now and next weekend, come up with some ideas to present to us during the 24 hours of challenge time. If your idea is awesome, we'll animate it and your name will go on the credits of the submission. :D

Try and be creative with your ideas but remember that we've got to get through 1 per hour (at least) so keep them punchy and not too elaborate.

James is just working out the last few details so I'll be posting a link to the livestream soon.

In other news, a Christmas Album is being released this year for you all. I've been working hard to be as creative as possible when composing covers for all our favourite (public domain) Christmas Carols. This will be released in December - I'll update with links when they're available.

I'm also releasing my album "Fear and War" in December this year. So there's a lot of new music heading your way.

Tarboy II is coming along nicely. We also have plans to have this completed by the end of the year however a release date has not been determined yet. As soon as we know, you'll know.

New York is just around the corner! We'll be calling USA home for at least 6 months as of early 2012. I am going to set up a Roller Coaster Date for everyone that wishes to come along and ride them with me. I am so completely obsessed with coasters it's not funny.

Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ will probably be the first place we'll meet - Six Flags Magic Mountain in CA will also require a visit as they have X2... and I must ride this. I'm tipping there will be multiple coaster excursions. *Fist Pump!

I'm also going to set up live performances so you can all chill while I sing for you. I'm not sure where or when - so any ideas are welcomed.

That about it for now, I'll speak to you all next week - 8am 3rd Dec Brisbane time - which means 2pm 2nd Dec LA Time / 5pm 2nd Dec NY Time and so on and so forth. Remember to check time zone differences so you don't miss out!

HERE'S where you can see me and hear what I'm donig.
