Sockbaby

Sockbaby

From the mind of Doug TenNapel - the man who brought you such animation and comic masterpieces as Earthworm Jim, Creature Tech, and Catscratch, along with the legendary Westhavenbrook, masterminds of no budget martial arts and the harbingers of the new world order of digital cinema - comes the story of the saviour of the sock people and his two loyal protectors, Burger and Ronnie...

Packed with off beat comedy and loaded with superior martial art action, the SOCKBABY series has already taken over the internet, and is now ready to move on to the rest of the world and all parallel dimensions...starting with your living room!

The Sockbaby Series can be seen online at Sockbaby.com

Go Sukashi!

In 2009 Doug worked with Westhavenbrook again, on the US internet TV series of Go Sukashi - a character created by Nakagawa shokotan.
You can find Go Sukashi! episodes on YouTube.
