This is where the front page ramblings go to rest in peace.

June-July 2001

Let's meet at FlashForward NYC!
I am looking forward showing off R & DD at Flash Forward 2001 NYC!! I will be taking apart the show again, on July 11th 2001! Details HERE.

Episode 9 is coming soon!
Sorry for the delays, it has been a bit chaotic around here. I just want you to know that Episode 9 is close, and you will be seeing it soon. I will let you know on the DAY it comes out, if you get join my mailing list HERE.

What happened to the old store?
I tried to warn you! I told you that there were only a few days left to get that stuff! I wasn't kidding! The old store was too expensive for us in many ways, so we had to close it. Part of the problem: the old store was a promotional thing and we pretty much sold stuff at cost. It worked great and we sold thousands upon thousands of items, but now we need to try something new. We are working on a new store for you. It is not there yet, but I will let you know when something is ready if you join my mailing list HERE.

Nope. I am still here. Thanks for asking. I was out of it for a while, lost in space, hanging with the Hopi, was booked in Bakersfield as an Elvis impersonator, got mixed up in some SEC voilations, was abducted in New Orleans, suffered a bogus concealed weapon charge (I was framed), after a wild night at a strange party I woke up in a tub fulla dry ice (liver intact, thanks). After way too much perspective, I am happy to be back on Radiskull & Devil Doll.

I will be speaking at Flash Forward 2000, in San Francisco. The show runs from March 27th to March 29th 2000. (This show is centered around Macromedia Flash, the primary tool I use to create the cartoons.) I'm looking "flash" forward to meeting some of you there! I will post exact times and dates later. This fine conference is also the first actual sponsor of Radiskull & Devil Doll, so if you are interested in one of the greatest, most creative web tools ever, be sure to check them out. Tell 'em Radiskull & Devil Doll sent you!

Item 2: More Radical submissions
Radiskull & Devil Doll must attract a very creative bunch of people! Check out the Kick It Back page and see some new dolls from our artistic friends in the hardcore section of the audience. I have a load of new art, music, and other things that I have not added yet, hope to get around to it soon.

It is really hard for me to answer them all, but I hope to catch up with your letter and write you back! I've written about 400 replies so far, sorry If I haven't written you yet. Meanwhile, I will try to write an update now and then, and most important, get another episode out!

Stone Cold Wishes,

Joe Sparks
