Owly’s first Animated Adventure!!

I’m incredibly proud to announce that thanks to our new friends at Sprite Animation Studios, Owly (and Wormy!) will come to life in an animated short that will debut at the San Diego Comic-Con International on July 23-26!!!

The animated adventure is directed by the wonderful Moto Sakakibara and was storyboarded by yours truly! Over the past months, we’ve worked very closely to make sure Owly was faithfully translated to 3D.

Every little detail was important to them, and the end result blows me away! They’ve created an animation that captures the pure essence of Owly in ways I never thought possible. It’s amazing to see Owly and Wormy come to life like this. The level of artistry at Sprite Animation Studios is incredible!

I’ve had to keep this a secret for a long time and I’m so excited to finally announce it! I can’t wait for everybody to see Owly and Wormy in action! It’s absolutely adorable and I guarantee you’re gonna love it! :D

It’s about time for some new Owly stuff, don’tcha think? Well, have no fear, new Owly shirts are here!!! I’ve designed three all-new shirts for 2009. You can see all of the styles here!
