Kicking off the singular Frederator


experience required quite a character, and
thanks to one --illustrator/designer
extraordinaire Arlen Schumer-- we got the
other --our singular company robot,
the Fredbot.

When Arlen gave us the gift of a company


birth notice, he crossbred some severely
bushy eyebrows, Gigantor's nose, and our
fascination with the influence of modern
poster innovator Frank Kozik. Master
artist Patrick Raske provided the color and a
Michigan silkscreen printer was engaged.

Frederator Studios, with assistant Stephanie


Stephens, came to be in North Hollywood
on January 6, 1997, with our first cartoons
released in 1998.

Frederator New Year's Posters

The last 30 years haven't been kind to commercial posters, broadcasting


and the internet have made them virtually extinct. But art poster series
are alive and well with a vibrant following and Frederator likes being
part of that select group with our (sometimes) regularly released New
Year's posters.

New Year's 2002

Frederator's expantion to a New York


office around the turn of the century seemed
like a perfect moment to inagurate our New
Year's poster program. And our expanded
personnel roster (for building out media on
the internet) suggested the perfect execution.

Patrick Raske pulled off this digital take on an


old school letterpress poster, often associated
with boxing, circuses, and old rock'n'roll and
country music concerts.

New Year's 2003

"This poster was my personal greeting card


to the animation community. I met tons of
artists, producers and executives because of
it. It really opened a ton of doors for a young
cartoonista like myself.

"And as far as the actual design, it was able


to showcase all my favorite Mexican things:
Lucha Libre, Dia de los Muertos, Mariachis,
Catholic iconography, Posada typography
and hot Mexican women. It was an incredible
honor to have been asked to design it.

"Gracias Fred!

New Year's 2006

Artist Frank Olinsky and Frederator founder


Fred Seibert have been friends since they met
on a dirt hill in Fred's backyard in October
1955. They've grown up to collaborate
hundreds of times, notably on the iconic
MTV logo.

When Frank wasn't sure he could meet our


three week deadline, but three days later this
appeared in our email boxes. A sculpture of
styrofoam, plastic cups, straws, and
cardboard, it also marks the first time our
robot was christened, in Frank's simple,
unique way, the "Fredbot."

And to complete a circle, production and


printing contractor Will Dunnigan was the
third childhood neighbor who lived in
between Fred and Frank.

New Year's 2007

Channel Frederator, the world's first cartoon


podcast, debuted in November 2005 and
quickly we met thousands of new, talented
animators from around the world. To
celebrate, we inaugurated the Channel
Frederator Awards in Hollywood, where
lucky winners would receive their very own
"Freddie" statues.

World class animation artist and designer


Frank Rocco agreed to design the awesome
Freddie sculpture and program cover
illustration. We loved it so much that
program designers Adams-Morioka adapted
the image into our annual
New Year's poster.

New Year's 2008

2008 was a big Frederator year, the 10th


anniversary of the release of our first
cartoons. Finally, our tongue in cheek slogan,
"Original cartoons since 1998," would have
some meaning behind the humor.

Naturally, we turned to our closest


design partners of the decade, Sean Adams
and Noreen Morioka, to help memorialize in
art direction. In their careful, but never too
serious, manner, they oversaw every detail of
the soda/beer can illustration right through to
the gorgeous silkscreen production. It's been
seen framed in more offices than any of our
other posters.

Hatch Show Print & Frederator

The 1996 national board meeting of the American Institute of Graphic


Arts was held in Nashville, Tennessee, down the street from the storied
Hatch Show Print, the country music home of wood block printing.
Fred Seibert fell in love with the place and its chief designer and
archivist Jim Sherraden. Frederator has had Hatch Show design and
print over a dozen of its posters in the last 13 years, usually to celebrate
the end of a season of cartoon production.

Oh Yeah! Cartoons

What better way to celebrate our second big


idea incubator (notable for the first appear-
ances of Butch Hartman's The Fairly
Oddparents and Bill Burnett's & Larry
Huber's ChalkZone) but to fit 39 modern
cartoon titles on a limited edition poster with
old fashioned wood block typography? For
our first collaboration we asked Hatch Show
for their 'classic' look, and it became the
perfect remembrance for all of our animation
creators to sign at the wrap party.

And here's where Frederator introduced the


slogan "Original Cartoons since 1998," the
catch being it actually was 1998. We're all
about original talent and their original ideas,
and we wanted to have a little fun. They're
cartoons, after all, yes?

Random! Cartoons

By the end of the first decade of the 21st


century our cartoon incubators seem to have
taken on a legendary life of their own,
having spawned over a dozen series. Random!
Cartoons started life as Oh Yeah! Cartoons,
Season 4, but took on its own identity, fitting
for a new century.

Random's already spawned to monster hits,


Eric Robles' Fanboy & Chum Chum and
Pendleton Ward's Adventure Time, and with
them a new cartoon vocabulary, both visually
and comedically.

It had been five long years since we'd last


recruited talent for our shorts programs that
incudbated the great talent of the cartoon in-

talent had forgotten the hopes our cartoons
represented. (As it turned it we had no wor-
ries.) These next two posters were meant to

Channel Frederator Awards

Leslie Cabarga started as a world class

and his illustrations, logos, fonts, and books
have made him a legend. We were lucky to
meet him during our brief relationship with
Kitchen Sink Press, and turned to him when
it came time to design the 2nd Channel
Frederator Awards in 2008. Next New
Networks' Rachel Garcia thought the New
York City location and Freddie statue
screamed for a Fritz Lang Metropolis theme.
Leslie's morhping of the two is an

Channel Frederator &


Next New Networks

Frank Olinsky was commissioned by Next


New Networks (Channel Frederator's
distributor) to design a series of limited
edition posters for advertisers and friends of
the company. The only limitation was that all
the images had to be created with his hands,
a slam dunk for a resourceful artist
like Frank.

He referred back to the Fredbot he created


for our 2006 New Year's poster, and laid it
out in an homage to a famous Elvis
Presley singles collection. But it wasn't 'hand'
enough, so Frank took a marker and retraced
all the robots.

We loved the mess.

My Life as a Teenage Robot

Rob Renzetti first created his teenage robot


as an Oh Yeah! Cartoons short in 1999. In
2003, MLaaTR went on to
become Frederator's third spin-off series.

Partnered with art director Alex Kirwan, Rob


put together a world class art department,
including character designer Jill Friemark,
whose robot icons persisted in logos,
postcards, and, of course, posters.

My Life as a Teenage Robot

"For our first movie-length special we wanted


to create a stylish opening title sequence that fit
our pulp-y, sci-fi title. I thought that it would
be neat if all the visuals for the titles evoked the
sensationalistic ballyhoo and graphics of 1950's
sci-fi promotional material. Then, at the end
of the sequence we could pull the camera back
to reveal that all the elements formed a giant
movie poster. Shawn and Joseph Holt worked
hard to help me complete all the individual
pieces used in the animation, and the whole
thing came together rather nicely. As a side
effect, we ended up with an already completed
poster design, which we printed up as a comic-
con giveaway." -Alex Kirwan

Adventure Time fan art posters

We were shocked when Adventure Time spontaneously inspired


hundreds of fan art tributes five years before the series debuted on
Cartoon Network in early 2010 (the millions of internet video views
for the original short must have helped). One of the show's production
assistants, artist Joseph Game, reached out to his companions at The
Autumn Society (www.the autumnsociety.com) to create faux posters
and say a few words for us.

Adventure Time with Finn & Jake

Dave Perillo draws inspiration for his work


from many of the following sources: 1950's
sci-fi movies, Charles Schultz, Jim Flora, Ray
Harryhausen, Roy Lichtenstein, Jim Henson,
Hanna-Barbera, The Twilight Zone, Alfred
Hitchcock and character advertising icons.
Dave currently resides in the 'burbs of Philly,
works as an illustrator, believes that bowling
is the sport of kings and a bag of Swedish
Fish is a seafood dinner.

"I thought it be cool to do a comic book


inspired cover for Adventure Time, the kind
of cover you might see in a digest size sitting
next to some Archie comics on a rack in five
n' dime."

Drinking and Drawing Events

One night, internet animator Dan Meth had a great idea. He


opened a tab at a bar on the Lower East Side of Manhattan with
a light box, a Sharpie, and hundreds of index cards. He was going
to drink beer and draw until he had enough for a film. "Drinking
and Drawing" became the most experimental cartoon in his hit
Frederator series The Meth Minute 39.

It also gave Fred Seibert a 'Eureka' moment. Animators need to


get together more often, so why not set up an actual animation
event? Starting at the 2007 Platform Animation Festival, and
irregularly in cities across America, Frederator has sponsored
a night of jamming artists. 100 intrepid souls draw animation
sequences on eight to fifteen cards and hand off their last drawing
to the next jammer. The cards are scanned, edited, and scored and
there's a cartoon!

What A Cartoon!/World Premiere Toons

In 1995 BF (Before Frederator), Fred Seibert was the President of


Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, where he launched his first innovative cartoon
shorts incubator, What A Cartoon! on Cartoon Network. He felt that
cartoons and, maybe more importantly, their creators had been unjustly
ignored for too long, and dedicated the studio to publicizing these shorts
in every way possible.

Great posters were the most visible way he could find. Modernizing the
movie studio one sheets that accompanied classic theatrical cartoons,
studio creative director Bill Burnett adapted the original art from the
films into the modern rock poster styles introduced in the early 1990s.

Dexter's Laboratory
What A Cartoon!

Genndy Tartakovsky is one of the most


admired directors in cartoons today. But, the
Dexter's Laboratory cartoon short was his
first commercial film and became the first
original series (and a big hit, at that) on
Cartoon Network.

But, instead of contributing an original his
first time up (those would come later) Pat
wanted a shot at updating Tex Avery's George
and Junior, a theatrical team from the Ted
Turner (the Hanna-Barbera owner)
controlled MGM library. Not your
grandfather's Geo & Jr.,
that's for sure.
