Hola Scouts!

I hope this update finds each of you well. 

First off I wanted to congratulate Mr.Greg Simkins on his new show "The Escape Artist" which had it's opening this past Saturday at The Merry Karnowsky Gallery  http://kpprojects.net/ The work is stunning and if you have the chance I encourage you to see it in person. Either way check out the link to the gallery and view the work, it's out of this world. And as always you can follow all of Greg's work through his site https://gregsimkinsart.com/

Second(and lastly) I would love for you to check out, share(maybe support) our very good friends' Kickstarter campaign titled "I Pity the Dolls: The World's Largest Mr. T Collection" Quang and Greg are two talented, fun dudes who have a knack for tapping into culture and madness. You can find their goods here http://kck.st/2I2na4y

Thanks for your time my friends. If you don't hear from me(us) sooner, enjoy your summer and make sure to stay very hydrated!!

Cheers!

Hola, Howdy, Hey all!

Dan here and I just need a moment of your time. Usually we like to keep these lines of communication open strictly for "I'm Scared" business so I appreciate you taking this little detour with me.

First off if you found yourself humming along to the song "Worried One" that play's over "I'm Scared's" credits, you're half way to being a fan of the Band. 

"Worried One" as heard in the "I'm Scared" credits

Along with my good friend and band mate Rob Faucette we make up The C Words, a fun little Folk/Country adjacent band. For the last year we've been recording an album. We're done and now we'd like to press it into a Vinyl record. Producing a record isn't easy and pressing vinyl, even harder.

Please, give it a look. You don't have to give money, even just sharing the project with the folks in your life is a huge help!! We're close and we know we can make it with a community of support. 

You can pre-order the record. There are some instant download goodies. There's even original paintings for sale by Rob Faucette.

I really really appreciate you allowing me and my art(s) into your home and life. It means a lot to me. No matter the outcome of the kickstarter, we have seen and felt the support of community. Again, thank you so much for your time...

And as Always-

Stay Scared, Stay Smiling!!

Festivals, awards, and our sweet sweet friends!

Hi Scouts,

We wanted to share some news with you all in case you're not following I'm Scared on social media. I'm Scared continues to tour film festivals and we've even picked up a couple of awards! At the Maryland International Film Festival, we won Best Animation 2017. And at Iowa's Snake Alley Festival of Film, we just picked up Best of the Fest this last weekend. You read that correctly, we won the prize for best film in the entire festival!!! What?!? In SNAFF's 6-year history, this is the first time that Best of the Fest has been awarded to an animated film, which we're pretty psyched about! 

Over the past year, I'm Scared has shown in the USA, Canada, England, Brazil, Czech Republic, Kosovo, Italy, and Spain! In the United States, we've screened in California, New York, Louisiana, Maryland, Kansas, Iowa, and Washington state.

If you look closely you can see my buddy Pete!!

We also wanted to give a shout-out to Friends of the Film Michael & Sarah Banks. They've given their time helping out our team with the logistics of screenings, vinyl toy unveilings, and you'll even be able to catch us (and our goods) along side of Sugar Fueled  at the San Diego Comic Con booth 1603. Click here to see their new Kickstarter and help them out as they make a comic book, coloring book, enamel pins, and more!
