After the ever-risk-taking Cartoon Network broadcast the first eleven minutes of an unfinished (read: low-res, no sound effects, and full of mistakes) season three episode April 1st as a ‘fools day prank, series creator Jackson Publick was kind enough to post some details to his blog — including the premiere date: June 1st.
Other details include the fact that he (and co-conspirators Doc Hammer, James Urbaniak, and Michael Sinterniklaas) will attend a Venture Bros. panel at the upcoming New York Comicon. The panel starts at 4 p.m. April 19th, and they suggest that they may con other luminaries into attending as well. He’s also pretty sure that the whole crew will attend the San Diego Comicon as well.
For more fun, including Publick’s take on the April 1st broadcast as well as some still from season three, check out his LiveJournal post (below).

Apparently working for SEOmoz, a Seattle-based search engine optimization company, requires some taste. From a job posting on their website:
Don’t be wooed by the big firms — come to a place where your talents are appreciated, your voice is heard, and your code has an impact. If you can answer the following 5 questions with an empathic “heck, yeah!” then please, send an email right now (well, actually, look through the hob specs, then send that email).
1. Does the Internet cower before your design & webdev prowess?
2. Are you a huge fan of the Daily Show % Colbert Report?
3. Is your hatred for cubicles exceeded only by your desire to make the web a better place?
4. Do you love the Venture Brothers (or at least promise to watch an episode after we lend you the DVDs)?
…and so on. So as far as I can tell, if you’re a web developer that doesn’t want to work for a “big firm,” is willing to work in a cubicle so long as you can develop for the web, likes all the same shows as your boss — even if they are pretty cool shows — and you don’t mind living in the “special hell” for Google-blacklisted SEO people and people who talk in theaters, this is the job for you.

True to his promise, Venture Brothers artist Sephen DeStefano delivered part two of his “How To Draw The Venture Brothers” today — and it’s everything we’d hoped it would be. Even if you’re not an artist and have no interest whatsoever in drawing the ‘Bros, this is worth a look.
Why? Because DeStefano gives us a killer look inside each character via the descriptions. For example, he writes:
“Brock is built for power, not beauty! Make sure he’s barrel-chested and thick-waisted.” And, “…this is generally the proper stance for Brock — a bit like a stiff gorilla. He should never appear too heroic or fluid when standing.”
Check. That’s what makes Brock one of my favorite VBers.

Though Sillof’s website is short on details about himself, he includes some great pictures of his custom figurines, including a full set of Venture Brothers. My favorite: the Monarch, of course.
He’s prolific, too, creating figures from Justice League, Dune, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Daredevil, and lots, lots more. Don’t miss his “re-visioned” Star Wars figures, which are “intended to be high-tech meets the middle ages with accents of cowboy and eastern Samurai influences.”
Note: Look for some seriously sweet custom action figures from GWCer iGhost shortly!

Venture Brothers season three storyboard and design supervisor Stephen Destefano created an art bible prior to beginning work on the series, and he kindly shared the first four pages on his blog yesterday. It’s exactly as fun and crazy as you’d expect from someone warped enough to bring us the genius that is Dr. Venture.
Not to be missed: his samples of the Doc’s “wide acting range” and the details of Rusty’s glasses. Be sure to check back later in the week when Destefano promises to teach us how to “DRAW BROCK…DRAW DEATH!”
Hells yeah.
