Go Team Venture! Season 3, Creator Blogs, DVD and More

Scientastic!!!! Some great Venture Brothers-related news and blogs to feast on.

First, the good news: I'm super happy that Season 3 is definitely on, with a likely season 4. No word in the article whether we will be getting a full 13 eps a season or what, but for now I don't care. I'm a content woman. Bad news: we won't be getting season 3 until next spring. Sad, as I was planning on it returning this year, but oh well; it just means that 2008 has something great in store. I'm also super happy that the DVD will be released next month, at a reasonable price, and that the extras will feature a tour of the Venture compound.

Now, onto the blogs. Publick Nuisance is Jackson Publick's personal LiveJournal, and he posts fabulous things Venture-related. Even if you don't watch or like the show, it's worth checking out and getting a peek at what it is like to do a cartoon series. He has unused DVD packaging, character designs, news, and much more. Besides, where else can you find and download the Venture Brothers' Christmas tunes?

Doc Hammer is one more person to add to the list of legit artists/creators who actually have a DeviantArt account. No joke. Go and check out his paintings and posts. Two Deviations of note: a poster he did in Illustrator featuring Doctor Girlfriend, and Triana's character specs to make the best Halloween costume ever.

Lastly, the fun things. I may have posted this link before, but here is an excellent interview with the two "masterminds" (go there just to save the awesome pic of all the characters; does anyone have a larger res pic of that?) There is also a podcast that interviewed Publick; very fun. (Golden nugget of advice he gives: in writing characters, avoid pop culture references for references' sake.) And everyone's probably gone here already, but some lovely wallpapers and freebies are available at Adult Swim's Site.

There's been a tribute poster for Venture Brothers rattling around in my head for quite some time; because of the long hiatus until next season, next month will be the perfect time to buckle down and make it at last. I will have to go through every ep and take copious notes, but that is no great torture. =) Heh, I'm actually looking forward to it.
