FUNKO FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

I don't like this concept art at all....BUT it looks like FUNKO is doing a FROSTY THE SNOWMAN nodder. I do like FUNKO's finished products!

LANE SMITH

My pal LANE SMITH did this piece of art for me back when we issued the MAD MONSTER PARTY soundtrack on CD, for the booklet. LANE designed JAMES & THE GIANT PEACH and has illustrated and written many wonderful children's books including THE STINKY CHEESE MAN and the last DR. SEUSS book.

SCREEN-NOVELTIES/SPARKHILL MAD MONSTER PARTY New York interviews a success!

Seamus Walsh of http://www.screen-novelties.com/ interviews ARTHUR RANKIN, JR. as he reads a copy of my book THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO (3 copies left right now...ORDER soon!)

Seamus interviews DON DUGA (legendary RANKIN/BASS Storyboarder)

My friends Lenore and Allen Swift! Allen also voiced many of the TOTAL TV cartoon characters including Simon Barsinister from THE UNDERDOG SHOW!

ARTHUR RANKIN talks about the wonderful FUNKO MAD MONSTER PARTY figures that my pal Brian Mariotti created! The first GREAT product created from the classic film!

I want to THANK my friend MARK CABALLERO for taking and sending along the pictures! I also want to THANK Seamus and Mark for making the trip to New York to interview these legends in animation for the love of the art! Can't wait to see the finished SPARKHILL Documentary on the LIONSGATE DELUXE DVD release this Fall!

MAD MONSTER PARTY SPARKHILL/LIONSGATE interview in the can!

The NEW DELUXE MAD MONSTER PARTY DVD is coming to a store near you this Halloween from LIONSGATE! I think the documentary by SPARKHILL is going to be something special. MAURY LAWS is doing his interview this weekend too. We covered alot of ground and are sharing some cool stuff for the disc! Many will be involved with this one. This is the way a RANKIN/BASS DVD should be!
