Nicktoons Hairball
October 2005 ––While freelancing at Exopolis, munkowitz was given the most excellent opportunity to design a selection of promos for the Nicktoons channel rebrand. This particular promo was entitled 'Hairball with Teeth' and involved a mechanized hand sorting through piles of 'iconic Garbage' to find the perfect lover; Monsieur Hairball. This handsome devil ( which was created from witz's genuine human tissue ) gets selected from the rubbish, dropped into an orange approval bin, plummeted deep through some dirty pipes onto a conveyer belt of Approval Spankings. It is then jettisoned into orbit, only to collide with the Nicktoon's moon, resolving in the brand, splash! the Kids sure love this shit.
