Yo, Zerofriends just keeps rollin shit out!!! Earlier this week they released 4 new prints, and just now they released a brand new line of shirts and they look so fucking awesome. They really did it right, the shirts all have a little art card that is a tiny print of my "Goodnight Lava" painting, and we designed the shirts so that there are extra hidden stories about each shirt printed INSIDE the shirts, its awesome, and secret, like the plot of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Anyway, please go check out the shirts and thank you in advance for all of your support!!!

So, here is the article that was slated to run in the NY Times this morning. Instead, it got submitted for immediate release to all of the correct media outlets online, so to make sure you are informed, here is the official announcement of what I have been up to, and what is going to happen in the near future of the little character that could….Chadam.

CHADAM WILL BE STARRING IN HIS OWN 3-D ANIMATED, EPISODIC MOVIE THAT IS BEING FULLY DEVELOPED, WRITTEN BY, DESIGNED BY AND CO-DIRECTED BY ME, WITH THE HELP OF CO-WRITER ADAM PETERSON AND PRODUCER JACE HALL FOR WARNER BROS TELEVISION AND STUDIO 2.0!!!!

Here is a snippet of the official press release that JUST got sent out, with a little more info:

FOR RELEASE ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2007


BURBANK, Calif. (September 10, 2007) – Studio 2.0, the original programming, digital production arm of the Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG), has begun production on 23 new short form series projects for broadband and wireless, with additional programming in active development. The new projects – from Jim Henson Productions, Telepictures Productions, Warner Bros. Animation and film & television director/producer McG, as well as fast-rising comedians Joey & David, videogame/film/television producer Jason Hall and cutting-edge artist Alex Pardee, among others – reflect WBTVG’s creative strategy for Studio 2.0, to showcase new artistic voices, provide creative opportunities for established talent in the broadband/wireless space and serve as an incubator for new television series.

“Chadam”: Cutting-edge artist Alex Pardee and producer Jason Hall of HDFILMS Inc. are teaming up on a 3D animation project based upon Pardee’s character of the same name. Initially introduced as a character icon for the popular rock band The Used, Chadam has become an Internet phenomenon. Chadam lives as the “chosen one” in the hyper-stylized and exaggerated metropolitan island city of Vulture. His power of imagination is strong enough to physically change his environment and, therefore, his world … to save it from evil. The series will find Chadam in a place of refuge, where he and others have retreated to plan their attack against the serial killer known as Viceroy. An action-horror-adventure story filled with self-discovery, “Chadam” will come to full 3D animated life via the magic of the Unreal Engine 3, the leading technology and development framework that powers cutting-edge games such as “Gears of War” and “BioShock” on today’s popular platforms, including PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The Internet series will serve as an incubator for future expansion of the “Chadam” universe, from additional online episodes to television, film, videogames and more. (Science Fiction)

So, yah, exciting, huh?
I know I AM. This is something that’s been tough to get rolling, but we got it.
If you are curious about some of the other projects that WARNER BROS, and STUDIO 2.0 are doing, you can read the entire press release by downloading it HERE.

PS, even though we are backed by a huge rad company like WB Television, i am doing a lot of the marketing and promotion myself because of the small budget (animation costs a LOT, but it is so well worth it it hurts). So if you can pass this press release along to anyone, or any forum, or any blog that may be interested. Any art-related blogs, any music related blogs, any video-game related blogs, celebrity blogs, etc and if we got this on ONTD...damn...we would already be winners. Everyone needs to know about this, says me.
hahaha.
Thanks for your help and stay tuned.

Hey everyone.
i have a lot of things piled up so i have been out of the loop with a lot of my good friends lately and for that i apologize to them, or you, if you are one of them. i will see you soon, i promise.
Anyway, 7 months ago, I created a character named CHADAM, for a band called THE USED, to be incorporated into their new album and marketing as a visual gateway to inspiring peoples imaginations. I know that sounds vague, and maybe even lame, but I have been working for months, along with the members of the band, on a way to add something to the mainstream music industry that has been severely lacking more and more: visual originality and creativity.
Upon creating this character, i was told that no one would understand what i'm trying to do and that kids wouldn't "get it", so it became a huge struggle to get our vision off of the ground. There have been a ton of ups and downs. In the end, i am appreciative for the little suppport that i DID recieve (mainly from the band and those close by me), but i did not get the support that would have opened doors to kid's imaginations and inspired some of the creativity that i was hoping to jostle out of people who may have had no clue they were creative. So, instead of relying on the support of the people in power, I took it and ran with it myself in hopes that in the small amount of time i had to do so, I could show some people that YOU DO GET IT, and that, though it is admittedly not the greatest thing thats ever happened visually to the music industry, it is fresh and fun enough to spark some imagination. So, my time to prove myself is running out and I ask for your help, if the idea is interesting to you.
If you get a chance, go check out CHADAM's myspace page and find out more about the project, and what you can do to help spread the word about CHADAM and his universe.
here is a direct link to some basic, pre-cursor info on the project:

take a look, add him as a friend, subscribe to his bog, which is an ongoing story unveiling secrets of his life and universe, and do anything you can to help spread this character around.
Thanks so much in adavance.
