Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

Recently, as part of a month long dental hygiene campaign, New Zealand kids show, Studio 2, announced a special contest to all kids: make a comic strip featuring the Colgate Taste Buddies and the winner would have their strip animated by New Zealand’s own Mukpuddy Animation (previously written about here and here). The submissions came in and were looked through, but in the end Liam and Rachel Thompson were declared the winners. From there Mukpuddy had only two weeks to get the short designed, animated, and out to the masses. Read the official account, along with the winning entry and character redesigns, over at the Mukpuddy blog and watch the finished version of the short below.
