Media Praise
My buddy Kartooner introduced me to his buddy sThig, and they both introduced me to the wild world of computer art. Now I knew Kartooner was talented, and I could tell sThig was pretty spiffy himself. But when you really dive into their world, they make you feel like a two-year-old with a box of knobby crayons. Man, I would give my forest green (or burnt sienna) for the skills these cats have. - Lockergnome , Webmaster Weekly
I’d like to thank you for featuring the PUPHEDZ on kartooner.com. In looking through your site I was delighted to find ‘Sideville‘. Your work looks terrific. I hope it’s coming along well. It certainly sounds ambitious, and I know how difficult it can be to make progress on an ‘indie’ project of that nature. I wish you the best of luck. - Jurgen Heimann, special effects engineer for various Hollywood productions
