Happy New Year!
Still drafting up the actual report while we fight off a flu, recover from aching body parts and a delicious end of the year meal with Japan’s favorite fish, fugu.
We’ve been doing video blogs here and there while traveling. Here are the first two videos of us at the Comike.
Thanks to everyone who bought our book! Finally….over. That was a tiring 3 days ( though we didn’t do Day 2). We spent most of the first day just wandering around and picking up a few here and there things. Afterward we went straight to work on the copy book which the cover you can see below.
We completely underestimated the time it would take to make the book, but it somehow made it to the Big Sight with the help of Andrew and his friends. The third day will be a post in itself that I hope I can get up soon. The books look amazing though we didn’t sell that many. Either way, we were proud to do what few foreigners would be able to do in this massive monster known as Comic Market.
Blogging from my Iphone, we’re here right now consuming a heart aching breakast from the golden arches. What the land of the rising sun has in store for us we do not know. We’re really looking forward to the comic market.
I’ll try to keep consistant with mobile blogging as it seems rather fun!
One of our very own members of CM!, Sung-Jin, recently just graduated art school As a final project, he animated this short for your viewing pleasure. The piece was traditionally animated entirely in flash and took about three months to accomplish. If you want to see more of his stuff, you can drop by his blog here. Enjoy!
Now that we have announced our doujinshi for C75. We thought about the people who wanted a copy but don’t have the means to attend this Winter Comic Market. Well now here’s your chance! We are now accepting pre-orders for CM! Lab Work Vol. 1. As a way to say thanks, we are pricing them at Comiket prices!
So if you reserve a copy before or during the day of 12/30, the price of the book will be the same as what we sold during the event. The book is full-colored cover with 24 pages of B&W parody and original content!
Notice how I’m not mentioning the price? If you’ve been to Comiket before you’ll have a good idea how much we’re charging as a first time circle. The price will also include shipping and handling. Remember you must be 18 yrs. of age or older to purchase!

I will contact you about payment. Book won’t be shipped until payment is made.
A while back I mentioned how Spooky Graphics was the animation house behind the Triceratops PV Made in Love. Well they recently released Jero’s new PV Hare Butai which was also animated by them. Like before, they animated the music video majority in flash. It’s a cool art style but I find a couple of things I don’t quite like about it. It seems to use a bit too much puppeting and tweening. I think if Spooky Graphics traditionally animated more on the PV it would’ve looked awesome. Anyway, here’s the video to judge for yourself.
Seems pretty stable as of right now. I’m actually typing from the Quickpress window which makes it rather convenient, skipping a couple steps of mouse clicking. Anyone else out there upgraded to 2.7? Care to share some thoughts?
I’m excited to announce that our doujin has been delivered to the printers! We are officially ready for Comiket now! We’ve been working hard around the clock, having little sleep and inducing sore wrists syndrome to bring to you our love and energy for the culture. I think we officially have gone through the same trial by fire as many artist have in previous Comikets!
So here it is, I present CM Lab Works Vol. 1!
B5, Full color cover, 24 pages of hot girls. ADULTS ONLY!
If you want to pick up a copy, we’ll be at Comiket Day 3 12/30 @ 東D-02a. See you there!
