Oh, You Want More Venture Bros?
Well I got your Venture Bros. right here. Or specifically Jackson does. To summarize:
- Two more seasons of the show (I assume thirteen episodes per).
- Pre-production (hopefully) begins in June.
- Along with that a long-form (60 - 90 minutes) episode/special/movie/something is in the contract.
- An 11-minute short episode that will premiere sometime in the summer.
Superjail! Returns In April
For those of you interested in other projects being worked on by Mr. Jackson Publick you should know that season two of Superjail! begins at midnight on April 3rd. Jackson is signed on as a consulting producer and will be lending his story editing and vocal talents to the new ten-episode season.
The show is of course quite different from The Venture Bros. in numerous ways, so it may not be for everyone, but it's certainly worth checking out for the insane, often psychedelic animation style and crazy storytelling and overall premise. Season one aired back in late 2008, so it's got some Venture-like gaps between the seasons as well. If you're unfamiliar with the series you can check out some clips on Adult Swim video or even buy season one on DVD for a measly $10. More to come!
Season Four DVD/Blu-Ray Almost Here
They're not out until the 22nd, but the season 4.2 DVD and complete season four Blu-Ray can be pre-ordered on Amazon for cheap at the moment. The Blu-Ray is $29.99 ($10 off) and the DVD is $14.99 ($5 off).
More Lovelace Storyboards
Missed out on the last bunch? Well you're in luck, because Venture Bros. storyboarder Douglas Lovelace has put up some more VB-related art for your eye holes and money pockets. As with the last batch these are all from season one and will be up for bid on eBay for the next 9+ days (as of this writing). Many thanks to @malpertuis for twittering about this.
Too Art For TV 5
Some of you may recall shows from the previous years, but for those who may not remember Too Art For TV is an art show with contributions from many animation industry veterans. The show is in New York City which of course means it always contains many contributors who also work on The Venture Bros. Among them the creator and curator of Too Art For TV, Liz Artinian who happens to be the Color Supervisor for Venture Bros. So if you're going to be in the New York area (specifically Williamsburg in Brooklyn) at some point between March 25th and April 23rd you should totally give it a look. Thanks to Kate for letting me know about this!

What's In JG Thirlwell's Basket?
I bet you'd like to know. That's a regular feature at Ameoba Music, which is a record shop with three locations in California: Hollywood, San Francisco and Berkeley. Thirlwell was recently at the SF store and participated in their "What's In My Bag?" feature which you can see here or watch the embedded video right here.
T-Shirt Russian Roulette
Not to be confused with Russian T-Shirt Roulette of course. Nonsek, makers and sellers of random t-shirts (called remixes) has recently partnered with Adult Swim such that you can purchase Adult Swim Remix shirts. Remixes include various Adult Swim TV shows including The Venture Bros., hence my reason for updating about it.
