Growing up in Orlando, I watched countless formative classics at this AMC. The Star Wars special editions, Toy Story, The Lion King, The Iron Giant and many more. Seeing my name on the big screen here with my family this weekend was a very special, full circle moment. Cowabunga.

Our TMNT short "Chrome Alone 2 - Lost in New Jersey" hits theaters one month from today! I thought I'd take the opportunity to recount the story of how the short came to be and how I managed to be a part of it.

Happy Fugitoid Friday! A few years ago the Mutant Mayhem team had the privilege of visiting Varner Studios and I was very excited to see this original mold.

Chrome Alone 2 - Lost in New Jersey had its LA premiere today at the TUBULAR TCL. Seeing something that I wrote and worked really hard on play at this iconic theater was an incredible honor that I’ll never forget. Thank you to everyone who came out and I hope you enjoyed our little adventure.

The Tubular Tortoise Karate Warriors were a hit at NYCC! Rave reviews from fans included: “Turtles been gettin’ jacked!” “Wait…what?” and, of course, “What the f*ck are these?” It was amazing seeing them out in the real world and I’m overwhelmed by the response. Horse-a-bunga!
