Yar Mart (promo)
Channel: John Hoelle
Date: 2013-08-13

In 1997, long before it was common, John Hoelle and Ryan Thomson developed a computer animation technique with off-the-shelf software.  The two friends had been drawing cartoons since grade school, and after college created a short promo for an animated show about two clerks at a bizarre convenience store: Yar Mart.  

The show was almost picked up by Spike USA, but the deal fell through.  John and Ryan went on to other pursuits, but Yar Mart remains close to their hearts as a breakthrough creative endeavor.
