O2 mixipix Cartoons Come To Mobile

O2 mixipix Cartoons Come To Mobile










(PRWEB) December 7, 2004

Invitations, greetings cards and messages on mobile phones will never be the same again, thanks to a deal announced today by mobile network operator O2 and cartoon messaging service provider mixipix.

O2 has re-launched the Fun zone (http://www.o2.co.uk/fun) on the web, an area where customers can find humorous, light hearted, off beat fun applications.

The O2 mixipix cartoon messaging service will allow users to create and send animated text messages to other people’s mobile phones. Users can choose from hundreds of different animations, from cute little ‘hug me’ cartoons to wild night out invitations, add their own text and send the cartoon message to any colour wap-enabled mobile phone. Even better, the cartoon can be saved by the recipient and used as a wallpaper or screensaver.

However, the fun doesn’t stop there. Budding animators and movie makers can edit the O2 mixipix library of cartoons or even create their own for the ultimate personalised content. Characters, background and props can be combined and edited to create unique messages which can be shared with friends and family. The O2 mixipix cartoon messaging service is compatible with all wap-enabled colour phones – the animation autofits to the specification of the receiving handset.

Lesley Keen, the managing director of mixipix, said, “We are very excited to be working with O2 to bring our cartoon messaging service to users of the O2 web portal, one of the biggest providers of mobile content in the UK market. Cartoon messaging is a brand new service for mobile phones which goes way beyond simple text messaging and gives the recipient something special and unique to save on their phone. With today’s great new colour handsets, mobile phone use is opening up to whole new dimensions of communications. Adding a cartoon to a text message can be used to create everything from a simple ‘hello’ to party invitations and special greetings – like e-cards for phones. With a little imagination the sender can easily create mobile content unique to them which their friends will treasure.”

Angus Cormie, Head of Portals O2, agrees, “The O2 mixipix cartoon messaging service is simple, fun and creates something genuinely new for our customers, a perfect match for the re-launched Fun zone. Messaging in the form of SMS or text messages remains a global phenomenon and we believe that cartoon messaging will prove to be very popular once phone owners find that they too can create and send their own cartoon messages in no time at all.”

The O2-mixipix cartoon messaging service is available at http://O2.mixipix.net

About Mixipix

Mixipix was founded in 2002 by Lesley Keen, a veteran of the new media, animation and interactive industries.

The company has created a unique technology which allows animated cartoons to be created and sent to all colour, wap-enabled mobile phones. The mixipix service is powered by the Cloverleaf platform which renders animated content on demand, optimised to the specification of the receiving device. This allows users to modify existing ready-made cartoons or create their own unique animations. Once the cartoon content has been created, users can add a text message to create a personal cartoon message, which can then be sent directly to a mobile phone. Unlike a text message (SMS), O2 mixipix cartoons can be saved and used as wallpapers, screensavers, ring alerts etc. to personalise the user’s phone.

Mixipix operates across the consumer and trade markets. In addition to the consumer facing messaging service, the company works with marketing and media companies to offer a customised solution to companies wishing to deliver animated content to the mobile market.

“Funny! A whimsical Collection of Sports Humor at its Best. Makes Perfect “Bathroom Reading.”

Posted by on June 19, 2011 1 comment

“Funny! A whimsical Collection of Sports Humor at its Best. Makes Perfect “Bathroom Reading.”

Palm Desert, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2005

Sport Cartoon Books, a subsidiary of Ancient Golf Publishing (AGP), has announced the released of 9 soft cover, sport cartoon books (Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Horse Racing, Soccer, Tennis, Sports Americana I & II) by Robert A. Tiritilli & Charles S. Hellman.

George, “The Bookie”, says, “Funny! A whimsical collection of sports humor at its best. Makes perfect “bathroom” reading.”

These delightful cartoon books are designed to give everyone a humorous look at sports. The sporting world is like a coin with two sides… one serious and the other humorous. Each of these books containing 120 pages filled with funny black & white sport cartoons featuring our LuckySports™ collection of copyrighted sport cartoon characters, which give a fresh, new look to sports humor.

Charles Hellman, a sports agent and bartender, has teamed with the former Mafia hit man, Robert Tiritilli, to find more ways to blend outrageous cartoons with clever captions. These guys bring out the “Funny” in sports. The wit of these books and its absurdity come to life from Tiritilli’s pen. His comical illustrations target players and fans alike. Tiritilli has freelanced and lampooned for more years than he cares to admit. After sailing around the world four times on his 10-ft raft, he now spends his retirement years drawing LuckySports™ cartoons and graffiti on stadium bathroom walls when no one is looking.

The authors have captured the emotional essence of sports – personalities, tips, scores, equipment, terms, betting, hazards, scoring and much more. Their silliness is a winner for anyone who has ever played sports.

These table books, a fun collection of humorous sports cartoons (Black & White, Soft Color Cover, Perfect bound, $ 9.95), make great gifts for all occasions and make perfect “bathroom” reading for sports participants and couch potatoes, alike.

All of these books can be ordered on the Internet at http://www.SportCartoonBooks.com and http://www.Amazon.com.

Newly Launched CartoonArtGuy.com Offers Custom Cartooning for When Clip Art Won’t do the Trick










Coral Springs, FL (PRWEB) January 30, 2009

The current economy has business owners scrambling to jump start their marketing. Corporations are always looking for something that sets them apart from the pack. Sometimes they turn to custom cartoons to get their point across. Some businesses need a new character that interacts with their current business image or a cartoon that conveys their business expertise. Some of these business people went online and checked clip art and existing cartoons, but they just couldn’t find the right drawing to do the job. Well now there is a new web site that creates custom cartoons for any business: http://www.cartoonartguy.com.

“We have had people contact us about drawing some of the strangest things.” said Mark Lewkowicz, owner and cartoonist. “I have drawn everything from a robotic crawfish for a robotics developer in Louisiana – to a longhorn bull that looks like The Rock (wrestler and actor). It is a lot of fun to create these drawings for people. You can see some samples of our custom cartoon work and get ideas on ways to implement them into your marketing plan at http://www.cartoonartguy.com; said Mr. Lewkowicz. Custom carricatures can be used as gifts for birthdays, holidays and more. If you email us from our site, we will send a free quote and more samples of cartoon work. Cartoons are a great way to get attention and create an identity for your company.”

Cartoons have been a part of marketing and advertising for years. Some of the most enduring campaigns have revolved around custom cartoons. Some examples are: Tony the Tiger, the Coppertone Girl, the Rice Crispy guys and so much more. “Some businesses have asked us to do custom caricatures of them or their employees. We have created holiday cards and cartoons introducing new services.” said Mark Lewkowicz. “The cartoons are friendly and create a recognizability. Sometimes I hear that their customers have asked them when the next cartoon is coming out. They actually look forward to seeing what we will do next.”

http://www.cartoonartguy.com is part of The Creation Network, Inc. The design company has been in business since 1990. “We are reliable and we deliver what we say we will – on deadline.” stated Mark Lewkowicz. “We are not some fly-by-night company. We won’t disappear on you. As a matter of fact, it it wasn’t for all those unreliable people out there in the industry, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am now.” stated Mark.

So, if you need or someone you know needs an affordable, reliable source for custom cartooning send them to – http://www.cartoonartguy.com.

New Book Draws Attention to the Powerful Effect of Cartoons

New Book Draws Attention to the Powerful Effect of Cartoons











Drawing Attention goes on sale next week on iBooks, Kindle, Nook and Sony Reader and a pre-release PDF version is available now at CartoonLink.com


Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 15, 2011

Most people are fans of cartoons, and now they can become fans of the powerful effect cartoons can have in their daily lives, according to Stu Heinecke, author of Drawing Attention, a new book which releases next week on iBooks, Kindle, Nook and Sony Reader.

“We’ve all heard humor is good for us,” says Heinecke, “but it can also be surprisingly good for boosting your results in life.” Editorial readership surveys show cartoons are almost always the best read and remembered part of magazines and newspapers. According to Heinecke, humor is about truth and truth creates agreement, but cartoons do it in such a disarming and irresistible way, they are perhaps the most powerful involvement device ever invented.

Heinecke says cartoons have powered countless record-breaking campaigns for some of the world’s biggest direct marketers, but you don’t have to be a big advertiser to benefit from their use. “Cartoons create instant connections with people,” says Heinecke, “and that can have a big effect on any project you may be facing, whether it’s giving a presentation, introducing yourself to someone important, making a sale, boosting your earnings or interviewing for a new job.”

As an example, Heinecke, who owns the marketing agency CartoonLink and is himself a prominent cartoonist, cites a recent sales promotion campaign that drew a 100% response and an ROI of more than 13,000%, an e-mail campaign that generated a 130% open rate, and his 100% success rate so far, using cartoons to help clients and friends land new jobs. In Drawing Attention, he explains the inner workings of cartoons so readers can put them to use without worry of hitting a sour note. The book includes a foreword by New Yorker cartoon editor Robert Mankoff and features the work of several of the magazine’s top cartoonists.

The book goes on sale next week for $ 9.99 on iBooks, Kindle, Nook and Sony Reader, but a pre-release PDF version is available now at CartoonLink.com.

ABOUT STU HEINECKE: Drawing Attention author Stu Heinecke is one of the world’s foremost experts on the use of cartoons in advertising, marketing and sales promotion, having blended cartooning and marketing for nearly thirty years. A prominent cartoonist whose work has appeared in countless marketing campaigns and in The Wall Street Journal and other publications, Mr. Heinecke is the President and Founder of CartoonLink (CartoonLink.com), a service that helps marketers apply the powerful effects of cartoons in their campaigns.

Popular Family & Business Cartoons Site Now Even More Fun

Popular Family & Business Cartoons Site Now Even More Fun










(PRWEB) December 7, 2004

If laughter is the best medicine, Andertoons.com wants to be your pharmacy. Cartoonist Mark Anderson’s website, http://www.andertoons.com, recently expanded on a number of fronts to better help online users tickle their funny bones. “It’s all about helping people find the right cartoon quickly and easily,” explains Anderson.

“A number of our most popular categories have had sub-categories added to a new menu,” the cartoonist continued. “For example, our Business Cartoons page now has convenient links to Sales Cartoons, Money Cartoons, Accounting Cartoons, Advertising Cartoons and more.”

Andertoons’ blog, http://www.andertoons.com/blog, has also expanded, publishing cartoon related interviews, reviews and more every weekday. “Inside the Cartoonist’s Studio is by far our most popular feature,” said Anderson about his weekly Q&A with prominent cartoonists. “I was ecstatic when Editor and Publisher was kind enough to give it a little blurb. It’s nice to know people are reading and enjoying it.”

The new change the cartoonist is most excited about, however, is one that recommends other cartoons based on the user’s cartoon choices. “Let’s say you’re considering the large version of a cartoon about a zebra in an office. Below that cartoon you’re now offered three thumbnails of other animal, office or business cartoons that you might also enjoy.”

Popular site features that have remained untouched include the Andertoons store, the free daily cartoon both on the site’s home page and in subscribers’ emails, “and most importantly,” adds the cartoonist, “the high quality of the cartoons themselves.”

What’s next for Anderson’s cartoon website? “Oh, I’ve got a lot of really fun ideas that I think would both help users and allow them to interact a little bit more,” he says.

“I want people to visit http://www.andertoons.com, find a great cartoon for their project, and have a really good time doing it. At the end of the day it’s all about helping people laugh.”

About Andertoons

Mark Anderson’s cartoons appear in publications including Reader’s Digest, The Wall Street Journal and Good Housekeeping. His family and business cartoons are available through his website, http://www.andertoons.com, for newsletters, websites, presentations, advertising and more. Anderson also writes his popular cartoon blog at http://www.andertoons.com/blog.
