Halloween aftermath COSPLAY…Here’s the Fireball Winners #cosplay #costume
So many Cosplayers, so little time… which is why I had to pick only 3. But they are frikkin’ awesome, and as Jesus said… “They are frikkin’ awesome.”
No wait, that was Jesus Schwartz. …Whatever. These are cool.
What’s up @ THE FIREBALL PAD this week? @malibutimes #kids #children #art #design #ellendegeneres @bnbuzz @autofilmfest
Ok, so my life is always on the go. Even in Malibu where there’s only 2 exits, north & south, I sometimes wish I had a future concept car that could go both ways at once. BUT alas, I don’t. So… I make do starting at 4am.
REVIEW! After a week with the 2014 KIA FORTE, I’ll post my thoughts about what the week was like. And as with most Kias, they’re pretty dang awesome.
NEW RIDE! Monday brings in the 2014 MINI PACEMAN. I’ll be doing a new episode of 5MINUTE DRIVE with Malibu Time Editor Arnold York. He’s seen Malibu change quit a bit since 1971, so that should be cool. On Friday, it’s the 2014 CHEVY SPARK EV!
WACKY STATES off TO PROTOTYPE! I use the Book Prototyping Software from BLURB. It’s a great system and if you want to make a book other than through Mac’s iBook, this is awesome.
ART SHOW! Tonight, I head to the Malibu Artists Unite Event to see some great local artists. My buddy Ivo will be showcasing his work.
THE ELLEN SHOW! This week begins the design phase for Ellen’s 12 Days of Christmas. I’m designing the Mascot for KCL on the heels of a doodle sent to me by Ellen. It’s gonna be cool, but VERY top secret. So me no talkeeee more!
BARNES & NOBLE SIGNING! This time, it’s Marina Del Rey this coming Saturday (Next weekend, the 9th @ 11:30am.) Bring your kids!
WORLD CLASS MOTORING AUTOMOTIVE FILM FESTIVAL! Next Sunday, I’ll be Hosting this great event. Get the skinny here and then SHOW UP! It’s going to be a blast and you won’t want to miss it!
PLUS, Check out the cool shot below of Fireball Pop and Jenn Clymer receiving an award from Michael Eisner for all the great work they’ve been doing at MPTF. The Unsung Heroes Awards was given at Club Nokia and sponsored by the California Community Foundation and the Eisner Foundation.
ENDER’S GAME Audi Fleet Shuttle Up Close… #audi #endersgame
Not sure how innovative this Audi from ENDER’S GAME really is, as the design overall is fairly bland. But their approach was clean, so you gotta respect that. Take a look and then drop your thoughts in the COMMENTS below.

You could say that my wife is on a roll. For about 7 years now… Today confirms that Kathie will be building Ellen DeGeneres’ 7th Christmas Mascot for her successful daytime show. If you can’t remember all of them, don’t worry… here they are.
Hot Toddy, O’ Mag, Big Booty, Elphish, Hot Mess & Holly Berry.
What will #7 be? And what star will be wearing it? Ohhhh, no. You’re not gonna get that from me. Not even if you email me 10 pounds of Milk Chocolate!
Wait. Can that be done? Seriously…
BEST Concept Art of the Week… #conceptart #design #gameart
Movie Art is my favorite, which is why I do it. But there are so many people out there now that are incredibly talented, which is why we celebrate them. This set belongs to Ioan Dumitrescu, Wen Jr, Nicolas Francoeur, Andreas Rocha, Ben Mauro & Mark Daniels.
ALWAYS remember… Black Dogs are Cool @milldogrescue #puppies #dogs
Recently, I read an article about how Puppy Mills are destroying Black Dogs as they don’t make money with them. This makes me ill to know there’s people out there thinking in this way. So, join me and The National Mill Dog Rescue by spreading the word that ALL dogs are awesome. Support them in any way you can.

Where They Raced Trailer from Sunny & Mild Media on Vimeo.
WHERE THEY RACED: Speed Demons in the City of Angels tells the story of a pre-gridlocked Los Angeles… a time ripe with orange groves, movie stars, year-round sunshine and more auto racing and innovation than anywhere else in the world. This documentary film is told with hundreds of vintage photos, lost archival films and revealing interviews that reunite the ghost tracks of Los Angeles with the cars that raced on them to give these fading memories a victory lap.
