well, i just wanted to ask for everyone to keep their fingers crossed this weekend. . .
:)
i've been very blessed and honored with being nominated for an Annie Award for Best Character Design on an Animated Television Series. the nomination is for Juniper Lee and i'm nominated with some really amazing other artists too. . .

Mike Kunkel -– The Life & Times of Juniper Lee “Party Monsters” – Cartoon Network Studios

Carlos Ramos – The X’s “Homebody” – Nickelodeon

Eric Robles – The X’s “You Only Sneeze Twice” – Nickelodeon

so the awards are on Sunday night. fancy-shmancy evening attire and all the hoopla. i'm excited to go and very excited for everyone that has been nominated for the evening. it's a great feeling to be included with so many talented people.
so much talent in this industry, its nice to be reminded of everyone that is out there that is working so hard to entertain the world with cartooooons. :)

I'm with Alikins on this one - post the photos of you in your fancy duds, accepting the award. I mean... if you can't invite your own mother, you may as well post the photos!

Hey Mike,

One more question, sorry. Do you clean and color your own work or is it done by somebody else?

AMAZING work. Wow.
