- Tell us your story:
- Myself and a friend created a show concept called Space Pirates, which has been perpetually developed over the course of five years. We've lived in a suburb of Indianapolis most of our lives, and so our pipe dreams always felt quite small. Until the day we trespassed into the heart of Adult Swim's Williams Street, and pitch our idea to them. From that day, we knew we had the capability to go wherever we wanted, and so we've been working hot and heavy to develop our concept into a masterpiece of an American cartoon. Aside from Space Pirates, we've developed concepts for two other shows called Suits, and the other, Ninjas.
We incorporated the help of a third friend, who is now a third creator, writer, and director. We work on very limited funds, and so the most we can pump out is concept art, scripts, plot, setting, etc. Nothing fully animated yet, because we can't afford the software necessary.
We have contacts within Adult Swim, and a few other networks. Other potential contacts include ESPN and the director of such CGI films as Ratatouille, Brad Bird.

My name is Dave Perry, and I do all the artwork for Petty Torture Productions. Currently working on three concepts, Space Pirates, Suits, and Ninjas.

We're open to all types of humor, including all things childish, distasteful, satirical, etc., with the exception of religion. Jokes made at a religion's expense will always be light-hearted satire, but never blatantly disrespectful.
Aside from that, give us the worst of the worst, and we'll laugh our asses off.

We wondered around the streets of the city for about thirty minutes before we realized that there was more than the one main Williams Street. Once we found the other Williams Street, we parked in the studio's parking lot.
We went to the front door, but, as you can imagine, it was locked. There was a sign that said "Visitor Entrance On Roof," so we headed to the roof. Before we could get to the actual roof, there was a sign before the ramp to the roof that said "No Visitors Beyond This Point."
So, we went back down to the front door to see if we could get someone's attention, but to no avail. So we decided to go to the roof, regardless of the signs.
We got to the roof, as we had done a year prior. The first time, we couldn't get in because the security guard was on the roof. This time, however, the security guard wasn't there, because it was New Years Day. So we looked around a bit, and found something we couldn't see last time, because the security guard stopped us. There was an elevator.
So...we stood there for a moment. We tried to use the intercom. No one answered. Then we pushed the elevator button. The door opened. We let it close. Stood there for another few minutes, bickering nervously about good ideas and bad ideas. Then I hit the button and walked into the elevator.
We went down, and decided to get off on the second floor. There was a receptionist desk. To the right, glass double doors that lead into what appeared and sounded to be a large lounge area. To the left, the desk, and on the other side, to the right of the desk, a door.
We heard people to the right, so we decided to lay low and take a left. Through the door, we found ourselves in a corner. Straight was doors down a hall. Left was doors down a hall, but at the end of the hall was an opening to the right. So we went left. We got about half-way down the hall before we were stopped by the same security guard that stopped us a year ago on the roof.
He recognized us, but humored our intention. He saw that I had a portfolio with me, and asked what we were doing there. I told him we had broken in with the intention of finding some writers or animators to show the portfolio of our cartoon to. He said we were way off if we were trying to find writers, but the animators worked in that building. So I said, "Perfect, can we see them?" He said they couldn't accept anything because of the 911 thing, so I said, "Alright. I'll show you what's inside." He said alright, then we went back to the receptionist area.
After I showed him the artwork, he stood for a moment, with a perplexed countenance. He then said, "Hold on here for a moment, I'm going to go get somebody that might be able to help you a little better."
He came back with a man named Duke Aber, a graphic designer that does a great deal of work for Adult Swim. I apologized if we had taken him away from anything, and he said he was ahead of schedule working on the Venture Brothers season two DVD, and that it was alright. He asked what we were about, so I broke open the portfolio. He looked at it, and said the artwork was great, and we talked about what we wanted to do. He asked if we would want a team of animators, writers, etc. I said that we would need the animators, but the writing and directing was primarily us.
We talked for a while, and one thing I remember is what the security guard said as we were leaving. He said that he remembered us, and that we were the only two people to get in the building. He said that kids and teenagers and adults have tried for years to get in, but we were the only two to successfully do it.
Duke asked for our contact information, so we gave him all we could, then we left.
