Jeb News!

In between making episodes of Jeb's Jobs and similar nonsense, the little chap has been busy tarting himself about trying to make a few quid out of his unexpected fame.

Earlier this year he was nominated (twice) for a gong at the Cobravision Awards and despite failing miserably to acquire anything shiny for my mantelpiece, his representatives did have a very pleasant evening swilling Cobra Beer and hobnobbing with the likes of Brenda Blethyn and, er, some other people...

Of course, the biggest news is that Jeb has recently signed a deal with AT New Media. The name might not mean anything to most people but they are the guys who discovered and marketed the hell out of The Annoying Thing - aka Crazy Frog.

That's not to say that Jeb is set to be the new Crazy Frog - who needs one of those? No, Jeb is heading down his own unique path and will remain true to his origins, appearing here in further stupid movies. However, sometime soon you should be able to waste a few quid on ring tones, downloads, wallpapers etc. and I'm hoping to be the first in line when Clintons Cards start selling stuffed Jebs. That'll be a freaky day.

Meanwhile, Jeb is showing his face in a series of ads in Develop magazine and 3D World for Freehand Ltd (who do me a good deal on software and stuff) and is appearing in a viral marketing campaign for Touchpaper PLC.

Best news of all is that I've finally found time to concentrate on Jeb's Jobs, Episode 3. I've decided to bring him back down to earth after his fleeting moment of infamy on Kids' TV. He should be pushing a pen somewhere near you soon... Just got to spend the week rigging fat suits and pyros. Don't ask.

If you'd like to be kept up to date with Jeb then please . If enough people are interested then mayhap I'll organise a regular Jeb-blog.

In the meantime, thanks for reading, thanks for watching the movies and I hope you enjoy what you find. Don't forget to visit Jeb on Myspace : www.myspace.com/jebsweb.

All the best
