Here’s my 5th collaboration with Rhett & Link, and first collaboration with Joe “MysteryGuitarMan” Penna. I drew and animated everything, as well as created the sound effects. It took us two days to shoot this. It was a LOT of hard work.



Also, here’s a fun “Behind the Scenes” video I put together.



Special Thanks to youTube for featuring my Behind the Scenes video.

The third video I collaborated with Rhett & Link aired last night on the Science Channel. This video was especially fun for me, because not only did I do the artwork, but I also produced the song and co-wrote the lyrics with the guys. I sing the alien character as well.


Special thanks to Ashton Kutcher for spreading the word about the video today.
