Empty Walls

People stop me on the street pretty much, like, all the time, asking if there's any conceivable way they could contribute to AXES. My typical response is to tighten my parka, disguise my internationally-recognized voice, feign deafness, and punch them in the neck - but not today! So far, AXES has been a pretty small operation, but now we could really use your help. That's right, you know what's coming...

I am proud to announce our OFFICIAL KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!

Okay, not really. In all seriousness, Kickstarter is a fantastic site and has helped many deserving folks, including some great friends of mine. I wouldn't count it out of the production's future, but money is not what AXES needs right now. (Note to all: I will not reject money.) No, what AXES could use is a different kind of help. Let me explain.

This is Finn's room.


Yes, it's supposed to be depressing, but it shouldn't be boring. One movie poster isn't nearly enough to showcase Finn's blaxploitation obsession, so these walls need to be filled with some original, hand-crafted sight-gags.

As is the case with most things, these posters take a lot of time to create, and there is quite a bit of wall space. So really, what it has taken me a really long time to say is: We want other people to make funny movie posters so we don't have to.

If you'd like to join the ranks of "A Clockwork Black" and "Shaft Saves Christmas," either email us at axesofevilofficial@gmail.com, send a Facebook message, or utilize some other logical form of communication. We'll give you all the details. Anyone who wants to help out, (in addition to having their poster scotch-taped to Finn's wall), will also be featured here and get a special thanks in the credits.

Still Groovin'


For those keeping track, it's been three months since the last update. Just thought I'd bring attention to that.


Production hasn't stalled, but nothing too new or exciting has been going on. Sadly, AXES did not win the NYTVF Pilot Competition, but we are currently exploring a handful of other, more vague avenues that I'll hopefully get the chance to talk about later. Regardless, congrats to the finalists, though I'm sure they're all probably jerks and also cheaters.

But enough about those sellouts. There are more important, bigger congratulations in order, as our very own King Solomon, known by day as Erik Cheski, is engaged...

...to be married!

The happy punims. And to clarify, Erik is on tour with SOUTH PACIFIC, not the actual Navy.
 That's all, see you in three months.
