What's New At Dirty Sprocket?

Hi, Derek Olson here. You may know me from such movies as 'Zombigeddon' and 'Scattering Tarnac the Great.' Forgive the old Simpsons reference. Here at Dirty Sprocket we decided to create some pages that would be a space for anything that founding Sprocket wanted to have on there. Welcome to my space, not to be confused with MySpace, my god don't confuse the two.

You may have already read my short bio but here you can get to know me a little bit better. I was born in Spearfish, SD and moved to my family's ranch when I was 6. Yes, I was a country boy, although I don't think anybody would have noticed unless I told them. After High School I moved to Denver and attended the Art Institute of Colorado and got my Bachelor degree in Media Arts and Animation. Afterwards I moved back to South Dakota and putzed around for a couple of years before going to work for TDG Communications and I have been there ever since.

I truly am a lucky guy. Not only do I get to work for a great company and have Dirty Sprocket stuff on the side, I am also the director of plays at Belle Fourche High School. Heck we've even won an award for a show I wrote. Damn, I am lucky.

Favorite Movie: Either 'Army of Darkness' or 'Miller's Crossing'
Favorite Band: Pink Floyd
Favorite Superhero: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Favorite Type of Music: As of now it would have to be cow-punk
Favorite Food: Hashbrown casserole that my Mom makes, thanks Mom

For my space here I wanted to put up some of my artwork and animations I have created in the past. Hope you like em' If you do, feel free to drop me a line.
