Stephen Holman's LIFE WITH LOOPY exhibition at the HIVE GALLERY

Attention Stop-Motion Animation, 90s Nickelodeon and StephenHolmanArt fans!

Back in the Golden Age of Nickelodeon TV there once ran a show called KABLAM! and on that show was a surreal, stop-motion animation series called LIFE WITH LOOPY(which I created, directed, wrote and designed).  Loopy ran for 4 seasons (1996-2000), and was a much-loved example of 90s cool, freaky, kids tv culture.

This Saturday October 5th (8pm - 11pm) the Hive Gallery will be celebrating all that is Loopy with an exhibition devoted to the series! Cool stuff on display (and in many cases on sale) will include original pre-production drawings from the show, photographs from the production, episode screenings, a new original LOOPY PAINTING created especially for the exhibit, (plus a VERY LIMITED, SIGNED GICLEE PRINT - see below). PLUS on Opening Night and Artwalk night ONLY, Loopy animation director JOSEPHINE HUANG and I will be bringing in the original STOP-MOTION PUPPETS from the series to show in person.

(And if that's still not cool enough for ya, the Loopy extravaganza is just part of a whole RAY HARRYHAUSEN-themed show at the Hive this month featuring artists inspired by the stop-motion animation legend whose Jason and the Argonauts movie was the reason I got into stop-mo in the first place.)

Hope to see you all (especially any of you who may have worked on the show!) this Saturday 8-11pm or on Downtown Artwalk night the following Thursday!

I Met BRUCE TIMM

Image
     Two days ago i was going to the book store next to my college. I look around for ten minutes, then i Bruce Timm hunting for books too. You look alot like Bruce Timm, i said. I am him, he said back to me. I did not believe, i thougt it was a joke. Then in my mind i got starstruck.       He was really nice and listen my questions and comments. I told him me and my friends what you. "Under the red hood" is my favorite Batman movie, i said to him. Also i ask him, what do you think of , Bryan Cranston maybe being cast as the next Lex Luthor in the upcomming Batman/Superman movie. He said, sure Bryan Cranston is a great actor.         I was calling him Mr.Timm, thats how much i respect him. Sadly my phone's battery was dead, so no fan photo, but i still got Mr.Timm's autograph on my sketchbook. Though i  regret not showing him my Joker goon and Batman doodle. As a animator artist, i really hope i could be great story teller like him. In case you don&#

Tom and the awful Detective Henry

Tom and the awful Detective Henry Written by Michael D. Gutierrez Chapter 1. Rules and Lies Forty years ago in the town of Eagle Rock, there was a golden age of great detectives. Those detectives ran out all of the mafias and exposed corrupt political figures Everyday reading the Eagle Rock Post seemed like reading an old pulp detective novel. The story’s with all the fighting and the good guy getting the girl in the end. The bomb being stopped when there’s just one second left on the counter. Good for me, that golden age stuff is long gone over. Most of the detectives sold out and started to work for private companies and secret government branches, instead of helping the locals. Other detectives that wanted to play hero, were hunted down by private mob detectives, then they were killed. The last honest detective out there. He's somewhat of a folk hero in the streets. His name is Harrison Grant. He's still at work trying to put guys like me in prison. I thought
