I want to prepare you all for a bit of mildly grave news…I must take a few weeks off from making my cartoons. I will have a new one up by the beginning of September. Wait, wait! Don’t cry! Here are my reasons for waiting on the new cartoon (which just to let you know is about a dance party):
1. I want to put a little more time into the website. Pencilmation.com could use a few changes, which I just don’t have time to make right now.
2. Flip books. Yes, I am making Pencilmation flip books. And maybe some clothing as well…we will see.
3. Redesigning rossbollinger.com. This is my personal website that I am planning to redo in blog format so that I can keep everyone up to date on my usual wild adventures. I will be happy to get this thing rolling.
4. Working on a childrens music album with my mom. Yes, it’s true. What more can I say? I will keep you posted…
So bear with me, people! Time will pass quickly and once again plumes of smoke will rise from the Pencilmation factories, striking wonder into the hearts and minds of children and adults around the globe.
Also, on a side note—thanks to everybody who has been suggesting places to submit the Pencilmation cartoons. Keep the suggestions coming; I am submitting them to various places today.
Phew…the new toon is up! I think it’s pretty funny, but I guess I have sort of a biased opinion. A couple of new things: my hand is in this one..just thought I’d try that out—see what it looks like. Also, I recorded music with just a guitar and a percussion track (me, banging on my desk with pencils). Let me know what you guys think!
I haven’t had time today to update the podcast and ringtones. Hopefully I will have a chance tonight, but I will do it soon. I pinky swear!

I have been trying to think of an interesting and unique collectable that I could sell on my website, a physical item that fans of Pencilmation could purchase and keep as their very own. And then, it struck me….Pencilmation flip books! I am going to try my hand at designing some funny little senarios in the form of flip books. Maybe this is a good idea?? We’ll see…Be on the lookout for some official Pencilmation flip books in the upcoming months.
In other, more personal news, I just signed a lease the other day for a dirt cheap apartment in Brooklyn. Why did I do this? So that I can stop needing to worry about making money and focus on making cartoons! Heck yeah.
I was trying to have the new Pencilmation done by last week, but somehow I spaced out and didn’t put it online. I will put it up tomorrow…I promise!
