Double Album

 Apologies for going AWOL. We just delivered the last 2 scripts to our animation studio in Vancouver (Studio B). They're doing a brilliant job adapting the visuals and I hope to have some cool stuff to share with y'all in the coming days!!

We also wrapped the bulk of our writing last week and will now begin plowing through storyboards.

Plus, well, I always get sucker punched by late may--wife's birthday, wedding anniversary, mother's day (always mid to late may in the states). It's a formidable and often debilitating tri-fecta of celebrations that leaves me holding the ropes and calling for my cut man!

What this has to do with the blog is obvious: Nothing. Absolutely nothing!

How it all began...

 In 1999, when Kearplax started taking its first steps there were just 6 or 7 people in the company, nearly all of us were still linked to a former business project which had been really successful (we had made it to a staff figure of 500 with offices throughout America) … but unfortunately, when the internet bubble exploded, we exploded with it!  What a lesson in humility… Teknoland was an online consultancy service dedicated to providing services for major client accounts, but the rising and falling stock exchange got too much for us in the end and when things got ugly, the clients simply looked for another company …

And what has this got to do with Connor and Sparky Show? … Right from the start in Kearplax, we decided we wanted to be a company that made its own products, that would always be market leaders and would change the work focus.  As well as the gratification of creating the company, we would be the founders of something great that would withstand the difficult times and would not be dependent upon the loyalty of its clients.
