Welcome
to Cartoonyville!
Where is Cartoonyville?
Well, you won't find it on any map... About the closest you can get is Prof. Mark's old college sketchbook... One night, a dozen of his wildest cartoon drawings and monster illustrations escaped the pages into his two-bedroom apartment. Dr. Ratnest, a reformed mad scientist drawing, helped him regulate the gateway between our world and... The SECOND Dimension!
You can read all about Prof. Mark's first encounter with his characters in his latest book, The Struggling Cartoonist.
Cartoonyville Seasonal Specials
While other studios charge $1K per finished SECOND, Cartoonyville Studios offer three different budget options for holiday ads at LESS than $1K per finished AD. Contact Prof. Mark for more information!
This 15-second ad was produced on just such a budget, in approximately 2 weeks.
Quik Pawn shops was the first TV commercial Prof. Mark produced as a freelancer, while still in Montgomery, Alabama.
This was the holiday ad in a series of an approximately 12 commercial campaign.
The FCC requires all stations (radio and TV) to identify themselves every hour, at the top of the hour. As MTV demonstrated during the 1980s, there's no reason these required Station IDs can't be FUN to watch!
While he served as Creative Services Director at WNCF-TV Montgomery, Prof. Mark produced these holiday-themed puppet ads for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
