Imagine my surprise when I went to YouTube's homepage over the past few days and found a major advertising campaign underway for the "Skylanders - Spyro's Adventure" video game. Spyro the Dragon is a character I designed and developed for Insomniac Games back in early 1997. It's been a very successful franchise and is still happening as is evidenced by this new interpretation of the property. It's on all major video gaming systems, including Wii, Nintendo 3DS, XBOX 360, Sony PlaySation 3 and PC/MAC computers. It became avilable on October 16, 2011 in North America, October 15 in Europe, and October 13, 2011.

Here's the official website for Skylanders. You can also see the original development art I created for Spyro the Dragon here.

Enjoy the trailer for Skylanders...
