Nigel and Friends (2014-)
Nigel and Friends is a parody of slice-of-life series that
features a mix of original characters and familiar faces.
The title character, Nigel Harper, is a cynical, easily-
annoyed stuffed polar bear who regularly has to deal with the
problems of his fellow toy ''friends''. This series can be
described as ''Family Guy meets Arthur meets the SuperMario-
Logan videos on YouTube". While it was fun for me to make
them, I now find Nigel and Friends to be an unwatchable piece
of crap that desperately needs some beard growing. Click here
Logo Misbehaviour (2012-2014)
Influenced by the "Talk to the Logo" videos on YouTube by Rapier
Multimedia and Mickey McGuinness, Logo Misbehavior shows
a no-nonsense sock puppet cat named Oscar who easliy gets
stressed by logos going wrong during the takes. After three
episodes of such stress, Oscar had Logo Misbehaviour cancelled,
and he is now preparing for being the host of a sketch comedy
series titled Oscar and Friends. Meet some of his friends here.

BerryToons Animatics (2014-)
A sprodic series of cartoon shorts done in the style of an animatic, an idea that I started developing since September
2012. The first released short, Maxwell and Marty in "Adventure!", started production in 2013, with the drawings completed in December, and the post-production done in early 2014. The Maxwell and Marty short is about a cat named Maxwell Manx and a dog named Marty Mutt who fail to have an excellent adventure, outside of their house.
The next animatic short to hit YouTube is titled Phobic Phoebe, about a woman who has a ridiculously high phobia of everything, while her sane husband tries to help her. While the drawings have been done, post-production's still on the horizen.
Cutout Classics (2014-)
Cutout Classics is a series of intentionally crudely-animated stop motion cutout cartoons which I've been slowly developing and working on since 2012. The first short, A Typical Day in Furry Falls, was an idea conceived back in 2009, influenced by South Park, but lighter and softer of course. The story of it is five animal friends, Kenn the cat, Gilbert the dog, Benny the bear, Charlie the mouse, and Elwin the elephant are living in the quirky, small Canadian town of Furry Falls. A particular case of strange occurs when aliens plan to terrorize Furry Falls...or at least just Charlie.
The next short currently in production is Life of Weasel: A Simple Tribute to the Simple '50s, a parody of suburbian '50s sitcoms, specifically Leave It to Beaver. Wallace, better known as "Weasel", is a boy who hates school because of the "headaches and anxiety" it gives him. So, he and his friend Beanie commit truancy, only to be caught by a police officer disguised as an ice cream man! This short, which I began working on in late 2013, and completed in January 2015. However, due to the short's low quality, I'm not sure if it will ever see the light of day.
