Soooo we needed a skit for the Munoz Stock Live Stream (Show On The Go!), so I grabbed a DJI drone and Super Mario Action Figures and this is what I came up with. This was purposely put together very crudely for a DIY effect. This was a fun project, I realize I enjoy the storyboarding and script writing process.
As a “youth”, I have always wanted a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), I remember going to a family friend’s house when I was younger to play “Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt” it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Then in 2019 I would see on Instagram various forms of the NES system popping up at events or Comic-Cons, I guess I wasn’t the only “youth” obsessed with Nintendo in the late 1990’s. After seeing so much inspiration I decided to create my own entertainment piece to showcase the knowledge I have acquired with my 29 years of experience on this planet. I drew up a single design with a certain understanding of what people wanted when at a superior party in New York. I collected fragments of recorded memories inside my brain from working with entertainment companies like Creative Games Inc. in Hicksville, Long Island. I designed a Giant LED Functional Nintendo (NES) Control. Using experience from working at companies like Surface Grooves in Oyster Bay, Long Island as a Custom Fabricator, I had an understanding of how to assemble, paint and prepare wood elements for visual center pieces at events. I used websites like Instructables to get a better understanding of how to create the object I desired.
I then purchased various parts I needed, for the buttons I used a USB Joy Stick Board you would use to build a retro arcade unit. Then I used a series of bolts and springs for the larger buttons to hit the smaller buttons and bounce back. I then painted the MDF wood , ordered thick cut plexi and got a friend to slice vinyl up for finishing touches. When dark, I pop two 30 watt LED lights in there for that illuminated Legend of the Hidden Temple look…
Here is the final product that had it’s premier debut at Munoz-Stock (Hosted By The Muckrakers) 2019 at Station Sports in Huntington, Long Island. Designed and produced by Evan Muñoz (Aka Uncle Skuby).

Munoz Stockin’ Events (MSE) is a branch of Munoz Stock, a company founded by my brother’s band, The Muckrakers and me, Evan Munoz. Munoz Stockin’ Events (MSE) produces local Long Island Music / Art / Video Game parties and gatherings. We put together these events to keep current with the Long Island community year round leading up to our larger event Munoz-Stock, a Music + Art + Video Game Festival currently being held at Station Sports in Huntington Long Island.
In light of the global situation in 2020 MSE like many, turned to a more virtual approach to hold events. The first online concert series we came up with is called Show On The Go! Our first episode aired live May, 23rd 2020 on Munoz-Stock’s Facebook page, we had 6 live performers from bands on the East Coast. Show On The Go! also featured a live Digital Artist that painted during the event in Adobe Photoshop using a drawing tablet. The Munoz-Stock team also created 2 skits, one was a Mortal Kombat 11 battle between Shanon Munoz and Joey Bosco, the other was mock Zoom Workout skit including Joey Bosco + The Muckrakers + Evan Munoz. To help support local Long Island Bars that have supported Munoz-Stock over the years, we directed viewers to One Eye Jacks in Bethpage multiple ways during the event to promote their new takeout menu. The show was a great success with over 2.5k viewers over the 3 hour event. The MSE team will be continuing to produce Show On The Go! on a monthly basis to keep connected with the local Long Island Music and Art Scene during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
I’m excited to see this platform grow because it is a great way of showcasing the local talent there is out here on Long Island. This is a perfect project to combine multiple skill sets for a Marketing Graphic Designer like myself, Evan Munoz. To promote growth on this channel and create a highly polished show I had to exercise use of StreamYard, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Adobe Rush and Digital Marketing best practices. I am looking forward to producing more Show On The Go! Episodes with The Muckrakers/Munoz-Stock Team and Actor Joey Bosco from Los Angeles.

I’m sure if you’ve been on the internet recently you have heard about this iOS game called Monument Valley by ustwo. This game features beautifully designed illustrations of impossible structures, that are reminiscent of the artist M.C. Escher’s work. You play as a lost princes wandering through these structures to find a way out. This game is beautifully designed anyone with an interest in art or design should play this game!
Check out some screen shots of the game along with some prototype sketches below:

I think i speak for everyone when I say, we all love concept art! But when you think of concept art, you think of video game characters or fictional movie characters like aliens or monsters. For Jason Heuser he imagines the Presidents of the United States! That’s right the Presidents in crazy, insane, ridiculous scenarios!!! Some of these literally had me cracking up and laughing out loud at my desk this morning, especially the Ben Franklin VS. Zeus!!!
If you’re like me and were spitting up your coffee out of uncontrollable laughter, you can see the rest by clicking the link below:

As the madness on black friday slowed down, I went out yesterday to purchase the fairly new Deadpool video game. This witty comic book character makes the video game a fun and hilarious experience. Today I came across the website for the game and had almost as much fun as playing the game! The website is a single page website much like the site I am creating, also it doesn’t have and Parallax while scrolling it is still a fun and exciting website.
Check out the Website and the Video Game below
As I am coming closer to finishing up the art work for my portfolio site (wwwskubymediagroup.com) I like to browse the internet for ideas on how mine could be designed or laid out, and it is driving me crazy! Almost every time I search I find new and innovative portfolio sites that make me want to change my design! I almost always go back to mine design and change something!
Well here is my newest inspiration. It is the portfolio site designed by Robby Leonardi a multidisciplinary designer based in New York. He does illustration, graphic design, animation and front-end development.
His portfolio is a SNES Mario influenced website, the whole page is like walking through the game and I am in love with his site!
Check Out his site below it is amazing!
