Maiden Alley Cinema in Paducah KY will be the site of the DER STEINFROSCH sneak preview. This is significant to me because many of the most kickass films I've ever seen have been at Maiden Alley. They're in tune with the independent film scene and are going to allow us to do something special.

This will be a event besides the first reveal of the three foot Nazi divil frog in action. We're going to be featuring live music by musicians who contributed to the DER STEINFROSCH soundtrack and after the film we'll have a Q&A with the filmmakers and cast. You'll be able to tell us what you think before we kick STEINFROSCH out on the film festival road. Stay tuned for exact date and details.

Welcome Jay Chuppe.



Jay Chuppe is kind of a big deal in the world of art and design. I was lucky enough to con him into developing a new logo for the DER STEINFROSCH character. It's a winner and I'm proud to have another local artist contribute to the evil mayhem devil frogs bring.

Jay has been doing illustrations and seps for screenprinted
t-shirts for the last 15 years as a full time freelance illustrator. From his basement lair in Paducah, KY he... provides work for clients all over the country that sell in many national retail chains.

He's provided t-shirt designs/illustrations for WWE, NFL, NCAA, Disney, Universal, Warner Brothers, Blue Collar Comedy Tour, Hanna Barbara, King Features, Rainforest Cafe, NASCAR, Animal Planet, The History Channel,
Blues Traveler, & Yonder Mountain String Band...as well as created many other original characters & illustrations for various screenprint t-shirt companies.
In 2007 he also launched his own preprint t-shirt line called
Kenfunky Tees, which he also designed and hand printed
himself (www.myspace.com/kenfunkytees).

He has also provided work/cartoons for humor magazines
CRACKED, Jokester, and Thwack. He is currently
working on his creator owned comic book project,
the Western Kentucky based heroes "Red Mullet & CowBoy",
which was a top 50 finalist in the Platinum Studios
Comic Book Challenge in 2006, & the 4th Place finisher
in the 2008 Comic Book Challenge. He's also just begun
developmental work on his second creator owned idea, BobCat.
