Pico Day 2024 Round Up

As I write this, I have just returned home from an amazing trip to Pico Day 2024 in New Jersey. The last Newgrounds event I attended was the the 2022 Toronto Meetup, and I had a lot of fun during that... but this was a whole 'nother level.

Apologies, I am notoriously bad at remembering to take photos... so I don't have a lot of my own to share but thankfully I can mooch off of everyone else's... 😈

I traveled in from Buffalo, NY. From left to right were my traveling companions (@playBlast , myself, @ninjamuffin99 , and @ConnorGrail ). Later on we also met up with @Karlestonchew . All great dudes, glad to get to know them all a bit better (excluding playblast, not because he's whack but conversely I'm already quite tight with). Here's some photos of the shenanigans that went on...

It was great to see @Owen and @Droid again, as I had met them separately in person before (Adult Swim Philly Event and 2022 Toronto Meet up respectively), I met @Ant , the esteemed creator of Money Man, And then for the first time in person, @Bill and @Spinalpalm who I'd only ever chatted with online before. Their Poop Game is something quite special, really fun to play! Apparently according to Chris I got pretty far in it, can't wait to play more of it. Don't have pictures of that, but it was lovely I assure you. @TomFulp and @Luis , cool to chat briefly with them again too I might add. Oh also, @SrPelo was super cool too! We happened to randomly bump into him on the way out of NYC the next day as you can see from the second to last pic. Very nice fella.

Beyond just getting the chance to see all the amazing other animations on the big screen with an audience of I believe 300+, it was really cool to see my cartoon Becky and the Lost Egg as part of the show. I don't think I've ever had that many people in one place, and at the same time see something of mine... so that was really special. Thank you to @BrandyBuizel and team for making that happen! Speaking of which, the sequel to Becky should be out this year I can now confirm. It's long overdue, but I think I can make it happen finally.

To close out, I had a great time, and I really can't wait for the next big event I am able to attend like this!

Hello everyone, long time no talk. I just wanted to post to let anyone who this may interest know, I'm going to be attending Pico Day 2024, I'm sure you are probably aware of said event. I had fun at the last Newgrounds meetup I attended, which was the 2022 Toronto Meet-up. This was a sort of last minute decision, but things happened to work out scheduling wise. So if you happen to be going as well, hope to see ya there!

In the meantime, I'm gonna try and get something real small made between now and then. Haven't posted a proper animation on here in almost 2 years! Oof, well I gotta have SOMETHING to talk about huh? We'll see what happens.

Eye of the Terrier, my student film completed in late 2020 is finally released online!

Hello my friends, this is houndkidz. I've been working on a animated short since March called Becky and The Lost Egg and it's finally coming out next month! Well, at least part one of three.

This is the largest project I've worked on by my lonesome thus far, so I hope you enjoy my fruits of labor. Also after this is released I plan to take a short break, and then return to some smaller less ambitious projects before gearing up for Becky Part Two. October 1st is the date. It's technically tentative, but I think there is a good chance that I'll hit it. I look forward to getting this thing out there and seeing everyone's reaction to it!
