Other Cool Places!

SEPTEMBER 23, 2010
BACK IN ACTION!

                                    
                                          It's been a couple months since our last update, (July was it?). ALOT has been building on our side, not just with Pumpk & Cham and Pai, but with some other projects in the making. Still, it does suck that we've kept you, our loyal fans waiting for a substantial update! You will be rewarded in due time with a sneak peek of other cartoons in development and (dare I say), a moderate expansion of our website! What's this below? Why THAT is... top secret...

As our fans, you deserve the truth... and that is, our studio in all it's potential and great ambition... is for you! We strive for quality and engrossing storytelling, to inspire our viewers and readers and to uplift and arouse your imagination with new kinds of cartoons! This is why we've been taking so long; not only are we a fairly fresh company but we aim to deliver you great syndicated animation, illustrations and motion graphics... period. It may take us a little longer than we hope, but we promise you will not be disappointed!

    Also, we've managed to lock down a nice little schedule for our comic releases! Keep an eye out for we'll be releasing 2-4 pages a month now with guest strips from other artists under our fold! So no more twiddling your thumbs waiting for us to show off the eye-candy you so richly deserve! At the very least, you will see a weekly update starting today.

With all that said, OCTOBER 31, 2010, You will get a taste of something grand!

Thank you!

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
WE PROMISED!

                                    
                                           And we hold true to those promises! We have updated within a week's time

and are pushing to stick to weekly updates (around the Thursday-Friday bend). Some business-savvy news, the studio has picked up a few animation jobs here and there so you'll be seeing some awesome new artwork as the days go by! Check out our FaceBook and you'll see them up close and such! Come Monday, you'll see some new artwork of our very first music video in addition to some gradual expansions to the website! Some good old test animation thanx to our animator Todd Churn, and some wonderful Background Art by newcomer Amanda Erickson!

We also have a sneak peek at some upcoming characters you'll see in the comic BEFORE you get to see them in the upcoming series of animation we're working on! With all that said, OCTOBER 31, 2010, You will get a taste of something grand!

Thank you!

Cast and Crew

                                    
                                           As we continue forward with keeping up with weekly updates, because we love you (not that there's anything wrong with that... is there?) we at Spark-Flow Studios decided that you, our fans should get to know the cast of Pumpk & Cham and Pai a bit more thoroughly as the story progresses! And so below you will find the great Pumpk 'Ere Nickele (pronounced pumpernickel or just plain PUMPK) as the first of our starring members! If not... they'll know YOU. Pumpk watches the Director while he sleeps.

We also have a sneak peek at some upcoming characters you'll see in the comic BEFORE you get to see them in the upcoming series of animation we're working on! With all that said, OCTOBER 31, 2010, You will get a taste of something grand!

Thank you!

                                           Late no more, the newest comic is up; we're UPDATED! Enter the appearance of a new foe and Pumpk and Cham's pseduo-father to pseudo-son chat, much to Cham's echt-dismay in the next comic!  In Spark-Flow news, our teaser (which you can find below), has been posted at Kaboing TV's facebook page. Kaboing, developed by Camp Lazlo's Joe Murray will premiere as a web station for cuting-edge cartoons! We hate having to wait just as much as you do! Make sure you check out Liz Staley's Adrastus comic as the giant-robo tale continues to unfold! ALSO,  Tarboy! "Shut up Billy!"

Back To Work!

                                                With the Prologue up for all the world to see, the Spark-Flow crew                                                             continues with COMIC UPDATES! Our Director and Illustrator Rachel Fogg made an appearance at Nekocon in Hampton, giving fans and other artists a look at the beginning of our animated series (which will be broken up into 3 acts per episode)! It's pretty cool to see the flashy and weird costumes people dress up as! It's like Halloween, except you're surrounded entirely by Japanese Animation! Next week, we'll show off what we sold... and how it can be yours!

JUST DO IT SOMEWHAT

NOVEMBER 20, 2010

Noobs and Cooties

                                                Sure, you could SAY we've UPDATED; you could persay,
                                               "run and tell dat" a new comic is up! It's so new in fact that
                                               another  artist decided to take a stab at the cutesy-poo

                                                chapter of the storyline.  Karrie Simms serves us with an
                                               anime take on the (near) conclusion of  this scene,
                                               ripe teenage this-and-that's. More stuff soon but it  looks
                                               like Turkey Day is coming up so no new comic for that week!
                                               Perhaps a peek at those items sold at this year's
                                               Nekcon later, yes?

MORNING GLORY

That's right! A brand new artist of the L'Vaughn Mason variety brings us a solid new story for the boys out there! It'll take us another update or two to get a separate section up for this new series we're creating! Remember that artwork ALLLLLLLLLLLL the way at  the bottom of the page? Yeah! This is what that was for!

That doesn't mean we're leaving PC & P! Ain't that cute... but it's WRONG! Nah, we're coming up with a two-week schedule so at least you'll see one comic a week! Stay tuned on that. But ho! What's THIS? Is that merch??

It took us long enough but our store is finally up! Buttons, bookmarks and posters are only the start! So GO GET 'EM! Your generous purchases go directly to our starving, starving artists and the DIrector who refuses to share any of his ham...

So join our cocky new hero as he is thrust into a plot to grasp meaning in a world without proof, where the truth of science and magic burn as hot as the desert sun and where the knowledge of Gods is hunted, dissected and fed to the yearning and desperate! SPARK-FLOW STUDIOS PRESENTS:

Everyone's In Trouble!!!

Seems like everyone in the Spark-Flow cast has got issues!

Pai is spazzing out...hard to tell if it's boy issues or home-sick, Thorn (from our un-official preview a while back) can't seem to catch a break for the Lunar Bazaar, and Aydan seems to be barking up the wrong tree...literally!
