Fan response has literally been overwhelming, and about fifty people have stepped forward to offer help and possible designs for the DVD project. I really wasn’t expecting such a huge response, but I’ve been swamped trying to respond to everyone. I’ll try to get to everyone who’s contacted me in turn, but it might take a little while with all of the other stuff I’m working on at the moment. Be patient with me.
This many responses almost cries out for a contest…

It’s nice people really wanna help! If I had a way to buy the DVDs here in Brazil, I would… Well, good luck with it Noah!
This isn’t even counting those who tried to email on the brink of the server crash (like me!)
Yea i hope that ones before the server crash still exist for you, i musta been within the first 10 sent. I sent my email before your last thing had any comments.
I say do a contest. that way it would be more fair.
One more comment from Brazil!: Yes, please find a way to make it available worldwide. I’ll buy one for sure.
And, come on, don’t make it lame like the ones from AVGN. Put extras in it! Some ideas:
* We want to know how Burton works (I know you already made a movie about him, but show us the details)
* Bloopers! Everybody loves bloopers.
* You are always talking about your Brother. Put the guy in front of the camera and make a small interview.

E ai David ;)
Indeed, he’s right. Release a DVD here too please! :D
I’m another possible buyer if the DVD is avaiable in Brazil! Can’t help with the art though, hope everything works out fine!
Keep up the great work, Noah!
Do a contest, that way the needed material (pictures, screenshots etc) will be available for everyone. :D
If we were to do a contest, I’d suggest a voting process. People vote on menu designs and such and whichever gets the most votes wins. To stop from vote spamming, you’d need to register your e-mail.
That would be a pretty cool idea to have a contest
Problem with a contest is everyone would have to make the content, then the 99% who dont win have done hard work and put their time into nothing, thats why people usually get commisioned.
I have any idea for what Rupert saying,
“Problem with a contest is everyone would have to make the content, then the 99% who dont win have done hard work and put their time into nothing, thats why people usually get commisioned.”
If they don’t win it’s always possible to put the submissions on an extra’s section… other than that, that’s pretty much all you can do for the people who don’t win.
Now, I’m not sooooo much the visual artist, but I’m damned willing to sing your virtues online. Think like a combination of a werewolf, a donkey, and a handgun and you’ve got me the bard. Oh, and I do great drawlings of sharks!
That having been said, you’re doing great and I dig your reviews of things and your anger over the pathetic. One love, brudda.
Im against a competition, saying no to guys how want to work for free is stupid. Put together a big team, do something supercool!
I can also say that using LightScribe is a stupid idea, I used it for a while and it’s expensive, slow and full of problems (believe me!). There are two better alternatives. There are premade sticker (very fool-prof) that U can use in a normal printer, just print and stick it on. The other alternative (witch look more pro) is to buy a special printer, in witch you put the discs directly in. The discs you have to get, are the ones with white paper surface.
Good luck!
I admit of not being too found of a contest. Deciding to publish a DVD that you will sell to the public should be treated in a serious manner.
good luck for all who enter if there is a contest! =)
Actually, in real life people submit samples of their ideas in order to get assignments like this. Artists don’t have to submit the full work, just concept art and notes on how it would go. It really is like a contest. Also, it separates the “I want to help” from the “I will help” folks. Many more people will offer than will actual help.
That’s awesome. I’m glad there are people stepping forward to do this. It would be a crime if no one did!
So if we still have not heard back from you, does this mean that you found your artist for your DVD?
Let me know if you still need help with this.

I have just recently come across The Spoony Experiment. I am a graphic design student at the Univ. of Southern Miss.
I have attempted to join the forums; however, I never received the activation email. I would be interested in doing artwork for Spoony.
I am nearly completing my graphic design degree; and I also do illustration – I have been working on a comic that I hope to at least
get on the web if not published. If you would like to see some of my work you can email me at jehesselberg@gmail.com.
Spoony Experiment is the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen.
