http://www.crackerland.comThe cat is out of the bag, I have been working on this cartoon idea with my good friend Les here in Orlando since 2009.
Crackerland, America’s oldest theme park. Started out as a road side stand, where owner Colonial T. Cracker sold Oranges, Grapefruits and Tangerines to travelers along Florida Highway 71. Sitting on 99 acres of swamp land right outside Okie Dokie Florida. A day of family fun featuring world-class gator wrestling, manatee water ski shows, rides and games.
Their are 3 main characters, who the story revolve around while they work at the Crackerland. Best of all, right across the street is their rival, Gee Whizey World a fancy smancy theme park with nightly fireworks, extremely expensive rides and very elaborate shows.
Here are some of my concept drawings. The main Crackerland characters are;
Fredrick Alafaya Flamingo (or Fred) The crazy character, clinically nuts but fun to watch.
Bumby the Manatee (i live on Bumby ave!) Crackerland's mascot manatee, rides around in a shopping cart, very lovable.
Jay O' Gator (Les lived on jay street!) The more normal character of the trio, if there is such a thing as "normal".
There is so much I can talk about, but why not check out our brand new dot com!
