Today marks 36 years since me and Terry created SC Entertainment in his front yard. Originally called Super Cool Comics, we were 7 years old and basically the coolest people who ever lived. Super Cool in fact. Soon we started making music and movies and we were basically a beautiful unstoppable force of nature making things all day long and forcing our friends to join in, whether they wanted to or not. 36 years later, nothing has really changed. I am still making stuff all day long, not getting paid for it, forcing and begging people to help me at every turn, and creating insane projects that will one day change the world. This part of my life is so fulfilling and good. Creating teams to work on movies, discovering people's hidden talents, making actual dreams come true and secretly pushing my socialist agenda on unsuspecting normals 😉. It's been a hell of a year, but again, I'm lucky I can explore things and deal with big issues by using art and film and music to understand why the world is the way it is. And I'm lucky to have the group of people I do, who like to make crazy stuff as much as I do. Anyway, Another year of SC in the books. Next year will see a pretty remarkable feature film, a rare live fukachuk egg machine show and who knows what else... I definitely have some secret plans that need to come true. Happy Birthday SC.
Can you believe it has been 9 months since I sent out an SC Newsletter?! I guess I have been very busy with a lot of unrelated nonsense. The important thing is I'm back. Back on the attack.
Biggest news is that I am in pre-production on a new live action feature length film!! It's about time!
As you can see from the very exciting promo picture above it is the debut of the amazing crime fighting team of Beetrice and Charleenkaw! Me and Terence retired from crime fighting.. what did you expect would happen?
Anyway, In 'The Ghost Tank' People are being murdered all over the city, however one special victim named Pete is different. She got pulled back to Earth by way of the brilliant Ghost Tank machine, created by the genius scientist Lacey. Once Beetrice and Charleenkaw are put on the case things start to get crazy. They soon find out the murderer is a serial killer who was killed in 1984, and is being controlled by a being from the future!!!
By using the Ghost Tank our heroes travel back and forth into the Ghost World to try to solve this bizarre mystery. Blood! Guts! Lasers! Ghosts! Zombies! And a bunch of other absolutely amazing stuff that barely makes sense! Basically, you will want to see this movie.
Sounds great, doesn't it? I think so. And the cast is amazing! We have Fran Van Rooyen in the starring role of Pete, Randolph West as the brilliant scientist Lacy, Jennifer 'Dorriss Doom' Illanes as Charleenkaw, and amazing newcomer Beth Murray in the role of Beetrice. Don't worry, Chengis Javery, Johnny Auchie, Sue Kenyon and Kelton Kolodychuk are all back in fabulous SC form! Plus a pile of other amazing people you will be thrilled to see!
Anyway, clearly I'm setting this up so you will want to help fund this thing.. because it's the best idea I have had all day.
In other news you can pick up a new Nandi Bear Tenants comic by e-transferring me $6.00 and your mailing address to kolodychuk@gmail.com!
This was a specially made comic to help support Oliver's vet bill earlier this year.

And finally Fukachuk Egg Machine has been asked to play a special rare live show at the Blind Beggar on October 5th.. So make sure you save the date! It's something you definitely don't want to miss.
Here it is! A Lot of hard work, completed.. and yours to enjoy for free!!!

I think thats all until Nandi Bear Tenants comes out on October 27th!! (And your life changes forever)
Today is the day! 35 years ago me and Terry made this junk up and I have been hopelessly obsessed with making stuff ever since. To the point where it's mostly just annoying!
Anyway, I had a big SC 35th anniversary special planned, but this year has been slightly too crazy to get that particular project done. I still have hopes that I will get it made, but it won't be done by today.
The real important thing is that I am continuing the dream. Making weird stuff and either forcing people to do it with me, or getting people to use their hidden talents to make the world a better place. Probably both. This year has seen a very cool short film I made with Sue and Elaine, as well and hundreds of hours put in to my next animated feature. Of which I am only a little more than half done. It has also seen a lot of terrible personal stuff go down, which sucked. But in the end me, Elaine Boyling and Terence Ramsay are out there every single weekend having the best times of our lives. Those two friends of mine make this all possible. And I know they make fun of my weird schemes and my hopeless OCD, but they do it because they know me so well, and it keeps me going to make more and more stuff that gets seen and heard by like 15 or 16 people every year. I'm 42 years old now, and I'm clearly delusional. But it's not going to stop. Yesterday I told one of my favourite SC actors, Rene Gonzalez, "Dude, expect phone calls from me to be in my weird movies when you are 90 years old." And as long as I live that long, you can be guaranteed to be enjoying SC Entertainment. and enjoying it as free as possible.
For the Nandi Bear Tenants Animated Feature, there are loads of in between segments between the episodes. To give it the feeling that you really are watching television in your pajamas and eating cereal.
Most of the live action segments have been shot this August, with a few more I'm hoping to shoot in September.
Here are a few super exclusive photos from some of the shoots.
For about a year, very on and off, me, Sue and Elaine have been working hard with a bunch of really talented actors to make a really groovy short film written by Sue. It's kind of a sequel to her cyber-punk short we made a few years ago. This time a mad scientist has unleased a virus on Earth, wiping out most of the population. One woman has the cure and this is the story of her journey to get it to Tabula-Rasa, where other freedom fighters are. basically it's a totally cool post apocalyptic film and you should watch it right now!
This entire year has been taken up making this amazing monster of a beast movie. I am a little more than half done. Animation takes time.
The film will be like watching Saturday morning television, and it is split up in to 7 episodes. The story of kind of a sequel to the second book of Nandi Bear Tenants and it has all your favourite characters. All the cats in the country have gone missing, and it is up to the Nandi bear Tenants to solve the mystery, in the mean time they meet the mythical Medusa, a villainous Vampire Badger, and the stretchable Zebedah! Lots of Action and lots of ridiculous scenerios await in this magical masterpiece of madness! I'm super excited, and have literally been drawing pictures of cats and wolvchas for 8 months straight now. It's going to blow your mind. I have no set release date yet, because honestly it is taking a while.
But in the mean time here are some exclusive pictures so far!
In July I held 2 weeks of day camps for kids like I do every year. The first week is all about art and the second week is a fully functional movie crew.
This is this year's results!
Revenge of the Beast in the Depths of Tartar Sauce
In 1999 Elaine Boyling found Blaise Kolodychuk on the internet. They decided that they should make noises together and record them long distance. This was life for many years. Eventually Elaine came to Canada and they got married and turned into Dinojubilee and more. But these are the experiments that made everything possible and started a life long friendship made from noises.
This retrospective includes my favourite music from nine different albums recorded between 2000 and 2008. It also includes "Rey Fenix" the first new Death Ray Gun song recorded in 10 years.
It was released on the 10th anniversary of Elaine coming to Canada.
This year at the Calgary comic and entertainment expo there was a screening of our super mega blockbuster sci-fi extravaganza Night of the Shadow People. It went better than expected with quite a few people showing up.. and some even staying to the end!!

Hey, it's been a long weird hard year here at SC Entertainment, and I haven't had much time to update the website much. I will be trying to rectify that in the next couple days and get this place up to date with everything thats happened, and everything that we are working on now. It's a lot. And the SC Entertainment 35th Anniversary is coming up soon! August 27th is the day you want to take off work in case you need to celebrate. Nothing huge is planned at the moment. Chances are it will be me and Terry and Elaine going out to get a beverage. But that's okay too.
Our super amazing sci-fi fantasy film Night of the Shadow People will be screened at this year's Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo: https://www.calgaryexpo.com/
The expo takes place April 26th to 29th. The Date and time of the screening has yet to be determined. I'll let you know ASAP!!
I'm super excited to announce this year's big project! the script is all done and I will be starting work on it right away. It will be 7 episodes of super cartoon action in the exciting SC style you have grown to hate... Actually the animation will be better than anything I have ever done before.. that is why this series will probably take me a very long time to complete. But it will be worth every second and the results will hopefully blow the minds of all who witness it! More updates as they happen!
2017 was definitely a hard year in the world of SC Entertainment. Not really as far as output, because I did lots.. but more as in everything seemed to take a huge effort to get done.. or the project was generated by some sort of diabolical need that arose from some kind of weird or horrible event. Or I was sick or in the hospital or something awful like that. Anyway, here's hoping 2018 cuts me a bit of a break.
2017 started off with Cashew Body. A new music project born from fukachuk egg machine. basically it is exactly the same but with a different name, and at this point I don't actually consider them separate at all. It is a pretty amazing and miserable album, born from lots of terrible things that were happening at the time.
From an interview:
We were out at Blaise's Dad's acreage somewhere in rural Alberta. The place is full of things his Dad has collected to fix, or to use to fix something else. There's a field full of cars and assorted vehicles all some way into the transformation between junk and running. He can build you a bike out of the bits of other bikes lying around in the grass, and he does. There are children and animals running around, and dubious smoke coming from whatever just got thrown in the firepit. Blaise's uncle, with one hand missing, throws fruit snacks at you, everybody gets a packet. Blaise's dad puts cinamon in the coffee and grins, so excited to see if you can guess what it is. Later on, the kids come running into the house.
"We found a Cashewbody," says the youngest, very solemn.
What they meant was that they had found a dog carcass, out in the thicket of birch trees. It had been buried, but now it was exhumed, and partly excavated, by a local pack of coyotes.
Cashew was their pet, a beautiful, sweet dog the colour of roasted cashew nuts. She was hit by a car. The driver didn't stop, they just drove away.
"It's so clever," says Blaise. "It's not Cashew, it's a Cashew body. The part that was Cashew isn't there any more, but there is still this body left there. There's something so true about it. It's horrific, but it's just a fact."
I believe the next thing after Cashew Body that happened was that I released the feature length Sci-Fi masterpiece "Night of the Shadow People" to the world on-line. Even though it had been shot and completed by the end of 2016, this was the first time most people would get a chance to see it. It was a big deal and involved me creating a huge set of on-line bubblegum cards to go with the release.
I'm still so proud of this movie, I can't even believe I made it. I just wish more people would take the time to check it out. I did get a few movie theatre screenings at some film festivals, but none where I could go see unfortunately. I would love to see this film in a theatre. I think it would be amazing.
Then I decided to do too much.
In 1981 my brother Lafe, (who I learned everything I know from, and is basically the greatest person who ever lived) started making a series of horror films called 'My School' About the vicious killer Kevin Markson and his evil Teddy bear. I grew up watching them every day and they are basically part of my DNA. It was a 10 part series of films. In 1993 part 10 was completed, however there was a problem, he never made part 9. 24 years later part 9 still remained un-made. I decided to complete my brother's vision and make My School 9. It's not that it was any bigger than any other feature films I had made before, but at the same time I also was doing art and film summer camps, and I had finally decided to make the sequel to the Nandi Bear Tenants graphic novel from 2014. And I wanted to get everything done by at latest Halloween. I thought it would happen.
So I got to work. My school was so much fun.. what an amazing group of people. And I completed 2 successful indiegogo campaigns as well.. one for My School 9 and one for Nandi Bear Tenants.
We shot My School at the school where I work.. it was empty for summer, so we had the place to ourselves, including the cool underground tunnels and creepy boiler room. I couldn't ask for more.
I also got started on the new book. the story was great, more complex and lots of cool new characters. It was a bit longer than the first one as well... but no problem. I'm Blaise Kolodychuk. In between teaching classes I was making horror movies and drawing lots of super hero cats. Then my dear friend and collaborator Suzie came at me with a plan to do a sequel to the first film we made together Rubicon. This time it was going to be called Tabula Rosa, and take place after a plague in a post apocalyptic world.. I was super excited!
Then I started to get sick. Next thing I knew I was in the hospital getting my appendix sawed out of me... then stuck in bed for a couple weeks, then I got some nerve damage from the surgery so I could barely walk for a while... I still haven't got that totally sorted yet. Then I kept getting sick.. then my punk rock stomach problems came back with a vengeance. Anyway, the last half of the year I have been dragging myself along like Bo-Bo had got me.
However, I finished My School 9. It's awesome. We had a successful premiere screening with a lot of very wonderful people. The big news was that my brother Lafe was thrilled with the movie and seems to have been inspired ever since with a million awesome ideas.
I finally got the book done. And I can't even describe how happy I am. I am so proud of this little work of art. even though I still haven't got my own copy yet (I have been told it's in the mail......) But it is beautiful and I love it, and I realised how much I love being an artist, and how much I love making comics.
We started shooting Tabula Rasa, and it's crazy beautiful so far... we haven't finished shooting it, because basically my body and mind fell apart in the last month and a half. But it's going to happen, and soon. It's a great script.. and one of my favourite things in the world is working with Sue.
So that's where I ended the year. Some new movies, and a beautiful new book.
I've already started figuring out the SC plan for next year... Spoilers: More super hero cats.
