Gosh I wish I was heading out to San D! Whenever I get a full time job in Radio, and get settled down a bit more, and get some green, I'm hopping out there to partake in the cool stuff! I really want a Raphael statue! ::sobs::
At any rate, again, I know some of this stuff is old jokes, everyone has had a stab at them, but... hey, It's been a while since I updated, and during a long period of time, alot of ideas never hit the site until now. ;-) so here is an old ode to Bush.
Junior.
Enjoy!

JUST IN: Interview with TMNT creator KEVIN EASTMAN was performed through e-mail on June 10, 2002, and responded to on July 8, 2002. The subject of this interview is the status of upcoming TMNT projects, including the new and upcoming TMNT ventures, and Artobiography by Kevin Eastman.
http://www.mikeystmnt.com/events/eastman.htm
Finally got another Dribble for Kids up.
For those wondering the narrator is no more. He has cease to be. (which is sad, cos I was all tooting my horn about him returning and stuff...) have any probs with this (which I'm doubting any of you do...) then write me at NArgan@aol.com
This is an old idea I had batting around for a long time. (it's very very dated as u can see when you read it...) but it sorta takes a stab at this summer's first big blockbuster. Anyway, keep it green folks and cowabunga says it all!

TheDigitalBits.com has released cover art for the upcoming released of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequels...
I have added a new section to the Image Galleries... Now there will be a section devoted solely to the covers of the comic books. So far all that's up is the regular run of the Archie Adventure Series. But believe me, after scanning and color correcting around 70 comics, and creating nav pages for em, that's enough for one night... er morning. Anyway, I hope you enjoy em!

From metaltv.com:
"With phenomenal resurgence and the big screen success of legendary comic characters like, "SPIDERMAN," "X-MEN," and "BLADE" already, with "DAREDEVIL," "HULK," and "HELLBOY" in the pipeline, now would be the time to make this body of work available to the serious art collector." says Eastman, "Besides, the Turtles have also begun their own trek back, as 4Kids Entertainment , and Fox have just announced their commitment to 26 new half hour animated shows for 2003 where they'll reinvent the heroes - I'm going to offer the original real deal."
Example of Eastman layouts, in this case pages 26 and 27
Priced at 0NE MILLION DOLLARS the collection will include; all the original detailed pencil page layouts, all forty of the original Eastman and Laird pen and inked pages, the original black and white wrap around cover, and a selection of Eastman's hand colored pages for the full color graphic novel.
Private personal showings may be scheduled. The artworks are currently housed in Western Massachusetts. Direct all inquiries to:
kestudios@yahoo.com
The sale of the original art from the book that revolutionized the American Comic Geek Dream, is truly a unique opportunity for the right millionaire collector, or institution to acquire this superlative example of contemporary American art.

This just in from Mirage webmaster Dan Berger:
Howdy folks!
I'm back from vacation and Mirage C.E.O. Gary Richardson is back from the New York Licensing Show... so there's a bit o' news to tell.
First off, we've hit a snag with printing TMNT #4 - we hope that it will be out on June 26, but there's a chance we'll miss that by a week. Argh!
On to the news!
First off, the limited edition cold-cast porcelain TMNT statues are definitely going to be produced by Playmates Toys! I'll have some pix of the initial sculpture up on the site this week. Turtle Guru Peter Laird has already posted some on his "Blast from the Past" page if you wanna see 'em now:
http://www.planetracers.com/blast/blast60.html
Scroll down to peep 2 pix!
Leonardo will be the first of four pieces. As I noted last time, each statue will be on a base and each base will interconnect to form one big diorama.
The statues will be painted. Playmates plans to take orders for the statues at this year's San Diego Comic Con ( http://www.comic-con.org ) at Diamond Comic Distributors' booth through Diamond Select. The price range will be in the $100-150 range. Currently we're still discussing the edition number, but it's definitely planned to be a very limited release. The second figure (no decision on who it'll be yet), will be out around Christmas of 2003.
The Licensing Show itself went extremely well and the Turtles were the hit of the week! Gary and 4Kids spoke with tons of old school licensees who are lining up to get involved with TMNT 2K3! Expect to see a bit of nifty new Turtles merch in the first quarter of 2003 to coincide with the release of the new show and action figure line.. and then a flood of Turtly goodness should be available by Christmas of 2K3!
Unfortunately the video game contracts haven't been fully worked out yet, but we hope to have the scoop on the new games next month. We know - the wait is killin' us, too! =O)
News regarding the new TV series:
We've gotten in the TMNT story bible, which defines the direction that the show will take, the characters that will appear and the plot synopses for the first season. It's great stuff that will be both warmly familiar and cooly surprising! We're very excited about 4Kids' devotion to make the new TMNT cartoon the best ever - and from what we've seen so far, we're confident this will be the case! Whether you're an old school comics fan, original Turtle toon fan, or brand new to the TMNT altogether, this show will have something for you to dig! The animation studio that has been signed up has worked on the "Men in Black" and "Jackie Chan" toons (to name but two), so ya know that the animation will be some of the best to be seen on Saturday morning television!
Characters that will be appearing: the four original Turtles, Master Splinter, Aril, Casey Jones, The Shredder, The Foot and Baxter Stockman - sure, there's more - but some stuff has to be a surprise. =O)
That's it from the hallowed halls of Mirage for now!
Cheers!
